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 will use him as our trusted chimney guy from now on. I highly recommend him. You'll get first rate service!!

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.

I moved into a place with a fireplace and chimney, so I hired this business through Yelp Projects…read morefor cleaning and inspection services. 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.

I got that news, but coming from Mike, who was thoughtful and thorough I definitely felt like I was in good hands with a trustworthy company. I had two chimney projects completed on the house a full decommission and a new hot water heater chimney. Duck worked carefully, quickly and honestly. He communicated regularly, and did great work. Thanks!! My old house needed a special touch on the demolition at the roof line and I couldn't be more pleased. Yes, a higher bid than another, but this is a great positive example of "you get what you pay for!" Excellent, professional work, completed on time. Duck left no trace. Thanks Mike for your honesty and Duck for your professional craftsmanship.

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!
