Repair chimney

After I called this company, Bill the owner made an appointment the next day to come to the house to look at our collapsing chimney. He went on the roof to take a look at the chimney and also came into the house to look at our furnace venting and chimney liner.
He gave us some good advice about finding a contractor to fix our recent problems with furnace venting and chimney liner before he could do the work repairing the chimney. We really appreciated his honesty and helpful suggestions. He gave a very reasonable quote for repairing the chimney.
A month later we were ready to call him back to repair the chimney.
He dropped off some sample bricks for us to choose from a week before the work started.
On the day of the job he arrived early in the morning with his team and I was really impressed with how organized and efficient they were from start to finish.
I asked him to do a couple of small jobs that I forgot to add to the original quote. But I when I asked him how much more I would have to pay, he said he stands by his original quote .. so he didn't charge me for the extra work he did.
Bill and his team did an excellent job of rebuilding our chimney from below the roof so it looks like new again.
I would definitely recommend using this company to anyone needing home chimney repairs done with efficiency and high quality.

rebuild chimney

I'm glad to have this company to rebuild my chimney. Not only the job done beautifully, replaced inside parts, they cleaned whole my side way that I was planned to do it. And also my request was very rush, due to leaking. The job was finished very quickly and I'm very satisfied.

Chimney Rebuild

Take all the wonderful reviews previously written and add them together and multiply by three! Every good word about the Chimney Company Inc is true and I experienced them all. I've hired many trades and seen the good and the ugly. Bill and his crew are the Best of the Best in every category you choose for comparison. A real pleasure to work with an honest, highly skilled, more than reliable, knowledgeable, gratuitously accommodating, extremely fairly priced awesome gentlemen and his talented crew. They worked thru rain and hail to finish the stated job and beyond. I saw in and around the chimney photos before and after and gave my full stamp of approval and I have a 10 year warranty to give me many years of worry free sleep! Well done Bill and crew. Many "Thanks"...paul

Chimney repair

We learned our chimney had a serious issue not visible from the ground when our roofer was on the roof estimating our roofing job. We called Bill, he came to assess the job within 24 hours. He advised us on repair options and pricing. He worked to schedule the repair days to work best with both the forecast weather conditions and with our timing for the roofing job - that is to say to enable performance of the chimney repair in the most favourable weather conditions available, and in advance of the roofers so that the chimney repair traffic would occur on the old roof rather than on the new roof. This is an important point, as avoiding unnecessary foot traffic on a roof will help the shingles last longer. He came to do the job when he said would, did the job efficiently and professionally, charged what he said he would, and provided us with before and after photos so we could see the results without risking a climb on our tall, steep roof. I could not be happier with the services provided. Great job!!

New chimney liner

We were very pleased with Bill and his crew when they came and replaced our chimney liner... Bill is extremely knowledgeable and always makes sure that safety is a priority...
Our fireplace was causing smoke in certain parts of the house .Bill suggested a liner and told us it was very important to do this work.
While installing the liner Bill did extra work at no charge and repaired some bricks around the chimney...
We now have a working safe fireplace.
Highly recommended..

Chimney Rebuild

I have had many contractors, roofers, plumbers, etc. come through my home and cottage over the years. I have never been inclined to write a review, except for this occasion. Bill is outstanding, as is his team. Very honest, hard working, clean and quick. It is so rare to find a company that you can trust and admire. I am very grateful they could re-build my chimney this year, and match the brick so perfectly. I would highly, highly recommend Bill to anyone.

Bill Bassels of the Chimney Company exceeded all our expectations and was indeed a pleasure to deal with. He is highly experienced and exceptionally knowledgeable. His crew are first rate and meticulous. Bill was very prompt to return our call, provided us with options, and was punctual to complete the work. He is honest and a man of his word. We have already recommended him to our neighbors. You will not find a superior team to get the job done. Thanks again Bill, we very much appreciate your fine work.
