I used Yelp and found Steve at Perfect Chimney who could come out same day for a very small consult fee. He fixed it within 30 minutes and was polite and efficient! We also have another fireplace in our house that we've never used. He looked from the outside and offered to fly his drone up to see how they were holding up. He showed me detailed pictures of the issues he noticed from way down on the ground, that were needing fixes. He was clear in the reasoning and not sale-sy. The team is coming back in a week or so for several fixes and I'll update my review when that happens, but so far, very happy with their work.

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!

Thank you Lifetime for making the whole process so easy!

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.

They responded within hour and we had a preliminary quote with the pricing structure established before the tech came out. Andrew was timely in coming to my home, considerate and quick. He explained to me what happened, how to avoid it in the future and things to look out for. Honestly, when you are already a bit stressed out with whatever it is that is happening in your wall and the great unknown, it is nice to have some people fully explain things to you and how you can fix it or at least delay it for a good amount of time. Truly, this is a no BS service and was a great experience for me.

Where do we start? The guy they sent out DID NOT LISTEN, spoke down to us, and acted like an…read morearrogant bully throughout the process. He was a disorganized alarmist, not methodical at all, he was downright chaotic with a huge ego. He left the 2 exterior clean out covers off, and left a huge mess inside with sewer slime on the walls and muddy boot prints everywhere. He took no care to protect our home. If you want your toilet unclogged for the small price of $1000, this is the company to call. Never EVER again!!! We have used Pro Drain in the past with good success, and we will use them if needed again. I will use any company before this one!!

Supposedly he looked it over and told me it was all clean and I didn't need anything.... And charged me $150. That obviously was not true because the chimney got plugged up and we had a lot of smoke in our house. First rate chimney came out, took photographs and showed the creosote buildup that could not possibly have just happened since September. He did a great job on cleaning the chimney, sealing the flashings on the roof, took photos, and helped us to feel confident in using our wood burner.

We hired Orest at OrCo Construction to clean up a bunch of projects the previous owners left behind…read more-- exposed wiring, an old alarm system, speaker wires everywhere, a doggy door removal, and exterior repairs. From start to finish they were fantastic. Orest came out for a free estimate, gave us a clear plan and a fair, firm price, and stuck to it. The work was fast but incredibly high quality -- they matched our wall texture and blended the paint so well you genuinely can't tell where the openings used to be, and the siding repairs look seamless. They even went above and beyond, tackling an extra spot we hadn't asked about. Great communication throughout, and genuinely friendly, kind people who take pride in their work. We could not be happier with how everything turned out, and we'll absolutely be hiring OrCo again for our next round of home projects! Highly recommend!

I love everything about OrCo Construction. The business is managed by Orest, and he is supported by…read morehis brothers. They each seem to have their own areas of specialization; Orest is amazing with logistics, one of his brothers is remarkable with tile, and the other brother seems to be a dependable and friendly jack of all trades! I've hired OrCo for two projects, tiling my sunporch as well as my kitchen and dining room. The sunporch was quick and painless, and their master tiler whipped it out in a day. The kitchen was a bit more of a challenge given the age of my home, unlevel surfaces, and surprise layers of linoleum lurking below what we thought was the bottom layer of flooring. The OrCo brothers were consumate professionals despite these challenges, and by some miracle they were still able to finish the job on time. Honestly, I still don't know how they did it! I love my floors! It's been several weeks since they finished the work, and every morning when I step into my kitchen I look upon the results with joy. I don't know why I didn't contact OrCo sooner! The floor is level, the grout is holding up, and the floors sparkle when I walk in the room. I sourced OrCo in the Projects section of Yelp, and their bid was one of the first responses I received when I published my request for proposal. What I love about the Yelp Projects Workspace is that approved vendors come with a $2500 guarantee from Yelp. That means if the project goes south, or I'm not pleased with the work, Yelp has me covered! OrCo came in with the second lowest bid, and I confidently booked the work based on their positive reviews and the Yelp guarantee. I am looking forward to hiring OrCo again. I don't have a lot of experience tackling big home projects like this, so next time I would like to have more options when it comes to finishing touches like the trim and thresholds for the doorways. I probably would have picked something different than what they provided... but that's on me. Thanks for all your hard work, OrCo! I'm very happy with the finished product.
