First, she needed all of my info before giving me a quote. Of course, when I insisted I just needed prices, she kindly moved on: There's a "service-call fee" of $312, after which they'll discuss pricing and then you get to decide what to do. Yikes! I pay you $312 just to find out what the real quote will be while you're standing in my driveway? This was obviously an easy decision. So far, only one of the three companies I've called for quotes has suggested a minimum service fee.

North Shore Chimney and Fireplace exceeded expectations in all ways. When I first reached out to…read morethem, I was nervous: everyone with an older home hears horror stories about chimney repair. Barrett really surprised me when he told me that my chimney was in good order, and only a minor sweeping was necessary (I hadn't had it cleaned in 6 years). We then discussed our options for converting our fireplace from natural wood burning to gas, and it was surprisingly affordable. Even in the summers now, I'm starting my day with a little fire to join my coffee. Great decision on our part: North Shore Chimney and Fireplace provided great value and a great experience. Highly recommend!

Home inspector told us that we needed to have some chimney tuck pointing and a cleaning of our chimney completed. Kevin came to do the tuck pointing but told us that the chimney cleaning wasn't necessary at this point (honest!). Kevin also e-mailed photos of his work before/after so we could see what he had done without needing to climb up there ourselves.

Earlier today, Luke came to inspect our chimney. Before he came, he texted me his arrival time to…read moreconfirm our meeting. He offered to remove his boots as he went to investigate our leaking issues surrounding our chimney. He took thorough pictures and notes on the issues and encouraged me to reach out to the roofers we used over the summer. Just after he left, Luke sent me a quote including his detailed recommendations and pictures/video/observations. I felt respected, heard, and he not only quoted me, but offered to help me navigate next steps with the roofers who need to fix said problems. Because of his professionalism and kindness, I would absolutely recommend him to others and will keep this company in mind for any other needs. If our roofers refuse to complete the job and repair said issues, we will absolutely use QF&CS. I wish I would've had them do this originally!

Charged $704 and no cleaning. I was suspicious so i called our builder who recommended another company. As the other reviews on this page note, i was told by the 2nd company there was no damage and no need for any relining. To add insult to inury they tried to tell me that "relining" isnt as good as replacing the "whole chimney" for $35,000. The 2nd company said that there was no need for any repair but if there were, a relining was about $1,600. This is fraud. And if they say we aren't listed as a customer as apparently they do, I will post the invoice and the charge. Beware.

And as long as they were there, I wanted them to go around my house and repair any mortar between stones that looked like it was cracked or failing.

The work was very inconsistent. The mortar varies in color throughout the work, which was on three sides of the home. The joint lines in the first phase look like the work of inexperience. The mortar lines are very sloppy - they missed many. Less than a year later, there are many areas that the mortar has failed. We have stone wall caps, that were to be reset, per the quote. They were not...perhaps two small pieces were. These top caps were loose within a week after they left. This spring the mortar is literally falling out of the joints. With the multiple issues of the mortar color - some of the worse are these bluestone caps. They used a white mortar that looks ridiculous. They didn't lift the caps to replace the failed mortar under them. They just re-pointed them from the sides.....not even taking the time to straighten them. These guys need to use levels, tap measures and have better eyes. Lastly was the overall worksite management. They maybe cleaned up 70% of the way. Left a mess around the work areas. They need to sue tarps to protectbthe area. We are still picking up pieces of mortar on the ground. Parked on our lawn, after I asked them not to. Used a path in the lawn, that was just reseeded and that had to be redone. We trimmed some shrubs near the work for them. I asked them to let me know if they needed more space. No word about it from them....they just broke off the limbs of our mature shrubs bothering them. Warranty? Apparently not. Nick stopped returning texts and messages. I expect he is embarrassed and doesn't want to deal with the re-work needed. He should be embarrassed, but he should also step up and be responsible for these issues. Again....nice guy but
