    Service or Repair Issues
    Status:
    Answered
    I had a $6500 job completed By this company in September. The invoice was to replace the top five rows of brick and put a cap on. A few weeks ago there were some strong winds and they were damage to the chimney. A contractor got up there and took extensive pictures of the chimney where it was very apparent that the brick did not bond with the mortar. The entire top row peeled off cleanly and it took the cap with it. You can see in the pictures very clearly where every brick set because none of that mortar came off with the brick. I called the company and ask them what they could do to work with me on this as I just had a large repair done 6 months ago and this is the fourth time this cap has come off since they originally put one on. The woman i spoke to immediately had an attitude and challenged whether or not the person was a masonry expert before she'd even looked at the photos or reviewed the issue. This is a big indicator of the quality of the company when they immediately say they couldn't have done something wrong before they even looked at the issue. I asked her to review the picture she said she would get with her team and get back with me. Another man who was referred to by the company as a technician called me and said there was nothing they can do. I got upset and challenged it because It is very obvious in the problem is in fact it's embarrassing. He said he never said he wouldn't work something out with me and he would look at the pictures and give me a call back the next day to let me know what he could do. He then refused to take my call. Apparently they said that he would call back and he never did. I tried to call today no one answered and then I got a very nasty call back from the woman who now says she's the owner and he is the apparent co-owner and they are refusing to do anything to rectify it. She lied and said he never offered to work something out with me .Then hung up on me because that's how proper businesses behave. This company is a sham

    I called for an inspection and cleaning of my fireplace as we had just purchased a home that was 50 yrs old and wanted to make sure it was safe before turning it on. This company came out and did the above work then told us it was not safe to turn on. They said they would send a report and include the cost to fix my FP and chimney. The bill came to almost $15,000!!! My realtor said get a second opinion and recommended Coffman Chimney. I have in writing from them there is absolutely nothing wrong with exterior chimney or interior FP except for needing a new valve and gas log set. Approximate cost will be $1400. The Coffman chimney place said it’s safe to burn and enjoy. The guy told me it looked good. ACE told me I was missing 30+ bricks and mortar on the outside of my chimney and water was getting in. The Coffman company said there’s zero missing bricks and mortar. He said a few are chipped but not a big deal. ACE wanted $6820 for outside chimney work which included a new crown. Coffman said the crown is a few years old and a new one is not needed. DO NOT USE ACE. IT IS A SHADY COMPANY THAT LIES AND TRIES TO MAKE A LOT OF UNNECESSARY REPAIRS TO GET MONEY FROM UNSUSPECTING CUSTOMERS.

    Our company provided the customer with an inspection from our CSIA (Chimney Safety Institute of America) certified technician. Our technician is trained and qualified to flag anything that does not meet CSIA standards or can cause a safety issue. The chimney has multiple brick faces that are spalling, cracked bricks, missing mortar between the bricks, and an expansion joint was not present making the crown not up to CSIA standards. The customer's fireplace has multiple safety concerns including (but not limited to) the flue tile not being sealed at the top of the smoke chamber. This can allow the byproducts of combustion to go behind the flue tiles and may migrate to areas of the chimney and home not meant to contain them. The potential hazard exists that combustible residue could build up where it cannot be maintained and allow the possibility of a structure fire. This defect could also allow carbon monoxide to enter the home. 2016 NFPA 211 11.2.1.13. We only provide estimates at the customers request. The customer was provided an estimate that would repair her fireplace. The exterior concerns are also flagged because if the customer does not have an active leak currently, failure to fix those issues will result eventually in a water leak and further the damage. The customer was provided with a detailed inspection report and findings from the inspection, including pictures. The customer is not obligated to proceed with the repairs, but we are obligated to report anything that does not meet the CSIA standards.
