We officially have a wood burning insert!…read more When I tell you this has been a LONG road! 3 chimey companies wouldn't touch the job, we have an old house and a very BIG request! We didn't want a huge stove that took over the living room. We wanted somethint that fit in our existing space! We didn't want to convert to gas or electric. I felt so defeated! Then my mom was behind a truck one day. Tri-county Chimey builders. She said it can't hurt to call them. So I did, Frank and his son in law Anthony came out in November todo an estimate and see if they could do it. "This is a BIG Little job he said. we need jack hammers to remove parts of the brick. We need to remove the damper and the flu to run a liner. But it's not impossible." What I heard was he could do it! So I got all my ducks in a row and called him Thursday last week. He came back out to the house same day! He said we could do it Tuesday! Today with lots of tools and experience they made my BIG little job come to life! In the spring they are going to completely re-store our original chimney! Which is stone and not brick! Again a job NO other company is willing todo! While my house is small it feels like home, my husband & I want to keep as much charm as we can! So if you need a Chimey repair man Frank is your guy! Have a Chimey you never used frank is your guy! Have a job no one else wants Frank is your guy!

They completed masonry work on the chimney, chimney liner, tile knocking, stove installation...in addition I threw a curveball at them by asking (mid-job) if they could build me a completely new hearth!!! And without attitude they said yes..but we just need to figure out the details. They figured it all out!...brought in a great Mason for my stone hearth & I am sitting here tonight with a beautiful fire in front of me! Their workers cleaned up after themselves. They were EXTREMELY knowledgeable in all aspects of this line of work. They are friendly. They never spoke down to me (a female.) as a matter of fact, prior to finding Tri County Chimney, I had another chimney company come in for a quote & BOY, were they trying to take me for a ride & literally using scare tactics...and the follow-up calls to pressure me into a repair contract bordered on harassment! I can't recommend Tri County Chimney enough! I have now had two co-workers use them based on my recommendation & I am now telling anyone reading this to feel confident using this company as well.

HV Chimney has been the only service I've used since purchasing my home 17 years ago. And Larry has been my go-to for advice and insurance that the job was properly managed. On this cleaning trip, Larry thoroughly inspected and cleaned the wood burning insert they recommended and installed a little less than a year ago. I didn't expect it to be a big job since we've used the fireplace just about four months in 2025. ( I almost put the service off a bit longer to save a few bucks.) My safety minded brain would not let me. THE DAY OF THE APPOINTMENT: my stove was not in use for months over the warm weather, so we we able to proceed. TIP: DO NOT USE UOUR FIREPLACE FOR AT LEAST 48 hours and insure there are no hot coals or they will need to reschedule for safety. We were ready to proceed. I'm glad I kept my appointment because more soot had built up in the nooks and crannies than was visible. SAFETY FIRST!!! Larry did his usual thorough examination and cleaning an left my living room tidier than he found it. I am considering options for a second fireplace that we decommissioned nearly 15 years ago. Larry took a close look and offered several great options for me. He's honest and Kelly at the office is wonderful and responsive, too. If you are lucky enough to have Larry work on your home, have the black coffee ready. FIVE STARS!!!

My husband and I recently purchased a house with a chimney in poor condition. We called Hudson…read moreValley Chimney to have them come out and inspect it. Kelly answered the phone and was very pleasant, professional and helpful in facilitating an appointment and explaining the process of what the inspection would entail. This was very helpful as we have never had a chimney before and weren't sure what to expect. Eric came out for the inspection and was very professional and explained everything in detail. Despite this, there unfortunately was still a misunderstanding on our end. We reviewed the reports and decided to get both the creosote treatment and boiler liner installation. Dave and Matt came to do those and were friendly, efficient and clean. Later, when my husband looked at the work they did, it did not appear to be what we were previous told it would be at the initial inspection. We expected masonry and busting through the cinderblock and there didn't seem to be any of that. We wanted to make sure they were doing what we had been told they would do. We called and spoke to the owner, Robbie, who listened attentively to my husband's concerns. He very professionally and calmly explained the misunderstanding and apologized, explaining that honest work and customer satisfaction is of their upmost priority. We were very impressed with how he handled this and left the conversation having 100% faith in this business and its service people. He even came out again to repair some cracks that had formed once the cement had dried. Robbie went above and beyond to make sure we were satisfied customers. It is rare to see such dedication and commitment in customer service! Thank you for your quality work in restoring our chimney!

Buyer Beware: Dishonest, Unprofessional, and Unreliable…read more We had a very troubling experience with John Kulk of Kulk's Plumbing and his employees. After diagnosing an issue as a contractor error, John Kulk later changed his story to the contractor, claiming it was our fault, which caused significant confusion and delays. John Kulk then suggested we file a claim with our homeowners insurance to correct the negligence of the contractor. The next day, the contractor stated in writing that he had "conferred" with John Kulk and repeated the same question, "perhaps that could go through your homeowners' insurance??" During the service, the atmosphere was uncomfortable. John Kulk said he can't find qualified workers and complained his employees frequently argue in front of customers. We previously had to ban John Kulk's employees from our home due to their unprofessional behavior. We also faced major reliability issues; snow removal was promised but denied immediately when the first snow storm arrived. Given the overpricing and lack of professional conduct, the quality of service here has significantly declined. We do not feel comfortable having John Kulk's Plumbing in our home again. We cannot recommend this business. All statements above are true, verifiable, and protected under the Consumer Review Fairness Act.

He gave me a more-than-competitive quote that was good for 30 days with a scope that was beyond what I anticipated. I have very wet ground. They pulled up my existing driveway and rolled in new Item 4. They allowed it to sit long enough to firm up before returning to re-roll the low spots with more Item 4 and put down asphalt. They applied a generous layer of both for an amazing final product. They graded everything appropriately and were incredibly efficient. The only reason I left off a star is because of the communication. I had to call to find out when they were coming for the tear out and had to call again to get the date that they were coming back for asphalt. I was on their calendar but no one reached out to tell me dates. That was up to me. I would 100% recommend them for their work and efficiency.

They did a beautiful job sealcoating my driveway with all cracks carefully filled with hot tar. Since then, they bait-switched on me twice. First time they switched the oil sealer with hot tar filling to a latex sealer job. Later, Jr. told me that was his cousin and he's no longer there. Jr. said he would make it right for me if I would hire them again. But Jr. did the same thing to me this year. He sent another cousin over to do the job. This cousin, wearing another company's uniform, said no one told him that he needed to do hot tar crack filling. He got Jr. on the phone. When I confronted Jr. that not only we had agreed earlier about the sealcoating and hot tar filling and the price, but also his office confirmed all this with him, then reiterated to me item by item, which included hot tar filling of the cracks. Jr. said that it was the secretary's misunderstanding /miscommunication! So, the cousin did latex coating of the driveway and cracks. Besides, they didn't do a neat job either. Some part of the driveway edge was not seal coated and the grass on both sides of the driveway was black. Moreover, they tied the yellow ribbon on my fully loaded garbage can which I put outside for next morning's collection. I had to go out in the middle of the night to untie the ribbon and tied the ribbon to something else. I would not go back to them ever again, and would advise if you consider hire them, put things down in writing, don't trust what they say.
