If you're considering Alliance, don't…read more Roughly a year or so ago I hired them due to a leak coming from my chimney. After their inspection it was determine the flashing was in poor condition and needed to be replaced. This was done. About a month or two later the leak returned and some additional work on the flashing performed. Cut to earlier this year and the leak once again returned. Having lost faith in Alliance I went with another PDX-based fireplace and chimney company. On inspection they immediately asked who had done the work being going over how it was some of the worst, most incompetent/novice work they'd seen, went over the issues, and provided a quote for new flashing. Once work started and the Alliance flashing was removed it was then brought to my attention that not only was the flashing problematic but that the brickwork underneath it was eroded, quite noticeably so. While not Alliance's fault, this was called out as a contributing factor to the leak and should have called out when the original flashing was removed. Should have. They never brought it to my attention. Separate from work performed, Justin was pretty sloppy with communication and paperwork, as it would sometimes require 2 or 3 voicemails before I would hear back from him, as I'd notice issues with the quotes, and as I received calls from him from a few different phone numbers. There was also a tarp left wrapped around the chimney for a few weeks that he had no clue about. In summary: don't walk, run away. Between sloppy admin skills, bad communication, poor quality of work, and the willingness to do the bare minimum while covering up larger issues, I can't in good faith suggest Justin or his "team" to anyone.

They were responsive, arrived on time, and appeared knowledgeable. However, I'm deducting stars because I wasn't fully convinced about the thoroughness of their inspection and the value. For example, they didn't check whether the gas fireplace was working and mentioned that the fireplace was clean enough, which resulted in the entire visit--greeting, inspecting, cleaning, and leaving--taking less than 20 minutes. Despite this, I was charged the full flat fee. While I understand it was their busy season, I expected a more detailed inspection for the price. Overall, the experience was okay, but I wouldn't recommend them for anyone seeking an in-depth evaluation of their fireplace or chimney.

We were made aware that our…read morechimney was in rough shape through a home inspection and most of the chimney companies that came out wanted to knock the entire thing down and build a new one, some with partial rebuilds which would cost $$$$. You could tell most of these chimney companies just wanted to cash in. Integrity Chimney guys wanted to preserve the history and recommended a tuck point which turned out fantastic. They are experts in what they do and are trustworthy and fair. Their communication is also top notch, constantly communicating anything that comes up. They were timely, cleaned up, and the attention to detail was fantastic. We also had them install a chimney insert on the inside of the home which they helped us choose, schedule, and install. I highly recommend them, the before and after pictures speak for themselves. You can tell these guys care about what they do and it shows.

Wind is the enemy of chimneys. I get a lot of wind at my now over 100 year old home. Sometime in…read morethe 1980's, an owner added a wood-burning fireplace insert with a heat circulating fan. I inherited a lifetime supply of hardwood firewood from the previous owners, and I've added to it. The wind broke and blew off the top part of my chimney cap. We were in bed when we heard a big crash and bumping on the roof. It wasn't the usual squirrels traversing my roof in the morning. Though in December, it wasn't Santa. The smoke and rain corroded the metal, and it just broke. I was very worried without the cap that the rain would ruin the fireplace, the flue, the framing, and siding. Many chimney companies are backed up for 2 or more months, even to come look. But Tip Top, Tobias and Mike, were able to schedule. Tobias reassured me by phone before visiting that with my chimney cap top missing, the rain would not enter, and he was right. They came, phoning ahead, removed the old cap, measured for the replacement, and covered the flue. Tip Top have a wealth of knowledge. These fireplace chimney kits were a complete system, usually made by small companies. The parts are not interchangeable or standard. Tip Top even has a small fabrication shop they work with for odd parts. They were able to order a stainless cap fitting a 13" outer and 8" inner concentric stainless flue pipe. You would also find similar, but smaller, concentric stainless piping on furnace and hot water flues. The fireplace, vent, flue, and cap systems are really not made to be repairable, and the companies that made them are long out of business, so set your expectations for that. It simply may not be able to be repaired. But in this case, Tip Top was able to solve it! They ordered the cap, phoned me when they received it, about 3-4 weeks, scheduled a 2 hour time window, called 10 minutes ahead, and installed it. On their visits they were quick and efficient. They work as a good team sequencing tools and materials for the next step. Tobias was up on the roof before I was outside. Mike had packed the construction waste before Tobias was down from the roof. They had already done 5 appointments before my noon appointment and they order them by neighborhood. There is a famous saying: "Cheap, fast, or good; pick two." Tip Top is all 3, as well as knowledgeable, communicative, and polite. Their charge, with 2 trips, and the replacement part was very reasonable. Recommended! Note they are a small company - voice call and text. They also join my homeowner collection of contractors and suppliers. (I would also say, read the filtered - not recommended - reviews. Yelp filters for good reasons, and some people only write a few Yelp reviews, never getting beyond the filter. That is fine. But the filtered reviews all seem very consistent.)

Another company said they would only rebuild the entire fireplace and chimney. We never intend to use the fireplace and just needed to protect it from weather and creatures getting in. (We couldn't afford a complete rebuild in any case.) Lifetime Chimney saved us! They completed some repairing so they could install a cover/ cap, and they pressure washed the chimney. Miguel did an excellent job and was very kind. When I first called in, I spoke with Brian who was incredibly helpful! I was worried when I called in, but Brian explained what they needed to do. He patiently gave me clear information. The chimney looks great and it makes the house look great. We're relieved to have it protected now. I would hire this company again!
