He found some damage to the chimney and repaired it within the week. Nicole was great scheduling us so we could be on time to close on the sale. These guys really know their business, I received a reasonable estimate and no surprises. Great professionalism, promptness, quality of workmanship and value! Highly recommend! 10 Stars!!

This company was brought on by my then-property manager, Anchor Real Estate, to secure my decks in…read morecompliance with VA Beach city regulations. I paid them $3500 in 2022. I now learn in 2025 that they did none of the requisite work and clearly lied to city officials that it was done to code. I have now hired a different company to do the work. Do not do business with this company!

I called this company for a diagnostic repair because my gas fireplace was not working. From the…read morestart, I pointed out that I suspected the pilot light assembly was the issue, since it is a common failure point. Two technicians came out and told me the entire fireplace needed to be replaced due to rust, quoting approximately $4,000. As an engineer who works on ships, I am very familiar with the difference between cosmetic rust and structural failure. The rust present was clearly superficial and did not justify replacing the entire unit. I decided to get a second opinion from another company, and they confirmed the problem was the pilot light assembly. They repaired and cleaned the fireplace for under $600, and the unit now works perfectly. I highly recommend getting a second opinion before agreeing to major replacements, as this diagnosis could have resulted in thousands of dollars in unnecessary costs.

I feel compelled to share my experience with Coastal Chimney & Contracting regarding a $3,500 gas…read moreinsert fireplace installation project. Their technician/project bidder, Adam, was polite and initially responsive. He was actually the primary reason I chose them over lower-bid competitor (Keithans Gas and Chimney Services) The scheduling process has been extremely disappointing. Timeline of events: Initial contact: December 9, 2024 Current date: February 22, 2025 5 canceled/rescheduled appointments Multiple no-show instances without prior notification The most frustrating aspects have been: Repeated requests to confirm appointments that were subsequently canceled No proactive communication about cancellations Being redirected between various "divisions" despite being a small company Having to take multiple days off work for appointments that never occurred While I understand weather conditions and unexpected situations can affect scheduling - I want them to be safe and understand some project need to bye dry. But the lack of basic communication and professional courtesy is unacceptable for a company. I've missed days of work to sit at my house waiting for them to show up. As a potential customer, you should be prepared for: Extensive delays - there's always someone else they have to schedule first Poor communication - Adam gave me his business card but his voicemail box is full and doesn't return calls or text The need to constantly follow up even though they send confirmations and then just say they were mistakenly sent. The quality of their work may be excellent, but I cannot speak to that as I'm still waiting for the project to begin after more than two months of scheduling attempts. Here's a copy of the appointments and quote - hopefully this saves someone a headache like we are going through.

I would not recommend this company. Steven Skloff, aka "President" is unreliable. The appointment…read morewas canceled several times before he actually showed up. Once he did, he wanted to make improvements that were not necessary. He mentioned that he would take the appointment charge off if booked to do the actual work. He never mentioned the estimate would not be complimentary and his estimate was overinflated by about three times the cost of my other estimates.

Don't believe the "guaranteed for life" BS Steve says- it's just empty words. Canceled several times leaving a hole where my firebox was and said they couldn't work because it was too cold- leaving my house freezing. Absolutely the very worst contractor i have ever dealt with. Steer clear!! Thanks for leaving me with a crooked chimney and not even trying to make it right, Steve.
