His team came out and - wow! - they set up scaffolding, covered our grill and outdoor furniture (to protect from mortar dust), ground out the old mortar, meticulously re-mortared the top section (yes, I climbed up to inspect closely), re-sealed the flu and cleaned up all in one day. The finished product looks great and, most important, no more backdraft! We couldn't be happier with the quality and pricing. Great job!!!

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. I found Oscar and the Quality 1st Maintenance team…read morethrough their amazing Google reviews, but what I got was 10x better than I ever could have imagined. I recently moved into a flip and, to both of our surprise, discovered feet of concrete and bricks stuffed in the middle of my chimney -- meaning my hot water heater and gas line weren't venting properly. Oscar and his team quite literally saved my life. When you buy a new home, you never know what surprises are waiting behind the walls. Oscar went above and beyond to make sure I was safe, that the job was done correctly, and that they'd leave with absolutely no trace they were ever there. Mid-project, they had to open a wall, and not only did they patch the drywall, but they painted it, too -- you'd never know it was touched. He took the time to explain everything in detail so I could actually understand the process, documented every step, and made me feel like a true partner in the project. One thing he said that really stuck with me was: "I know you own the house, but it's our fireplace now." That level of care and pride in his work says it all. Oscar is the definition of integrity, skill, and kindness. If you're lucky enough to get on his schedule, you're in the best hands possible. I can't recommend him highly enough.

I almost didn't call them!!!…read more I needed to replace my old back porch which was falling apart. So when I saw "Always Affordable Chimney" in Yelp, I thought, "Hmm, don't need a chimney right now". Luckily, I scrolled down, saw their other services and their high Yelp rating, so I gave them a call. Besides my back porch that needed replacement, I was also becoming concerned about a crack in the concrete base of my home's southeast corner that was growing larger over the years. When Tommy and his guys came down to give me a quote for the back porch, I asked him about the crack in the concrete wall. He said he needed to take a closer look. After moving everything away from the wall you could clearly see that the southeast corner of my house was sinking into the ground. So they dug around the outside corner of my house to get an even better look and said that the foundation on that end of the house which was actually an addition had failed, causing the sinking. So guess what? "Always Affordable Chimney" replaces "House Foundations" as well. And they're affordable!!! So my review is that whatever your brick or concrete or masonry needs are, give "Always Affordable Chimney" a call. You won't regret it!!!

We started off on a rough note because my appointment was rescheduled multiple times on the same…read moreday, which was frustrating. I was very close to canceling and gave them a clear ultimatum that if they did not make the next day's appointment, I would walk away. To their credit, they showed up the very next day and they were on time. Two technicians arrived and immediately got to work. One was on the roof while the other worked in the basement, and it was clear they knew exactly what they were doing. They also explained that this is a family owned business, with multiple family members working together on the same jobs, which really showed in how coordinated and invested they were in the work. The scope of work involved installing a stainless steel chimney liner designed to properly vent double gas appliances, upgrading existing connections for safety and code compliance, installing two double tee connections, and finishing everything with a stainless steel top plate and rain cap. They also handled flashing and waterproofing by installing aluminum flashing with ice shield underlayment, carefully removing shingles as needed, and waterproofing the exterior of the chimney to prevent future moisture issues. What stood out most was their professionalism and communication. They explained each step clearly, answered questions without rushing, and made sure I understood why certain upgrades were necessary. The workmanship looks excellent and very clean, especially considering the complexity of the job. Despite the rocky start, they ultimately delivered quality work and followed through when it mattered. The finished product looks great and gives me confidence that the system is safe and properly done.

I decided to get a quote because my chimney was missing a lot of mortar between the bricks. The owner Ricardo Castillo came to inspect it.

I called the woman at the office to tell her, and she first told me it was because my hone was commercial (Me: No, just a normal colonial house), then it needed a special ladder to get onto the roof (Me: No, just a regular ladder like everyone else who has done work up there) and then it costs more for a "detailed" cleaning, and $45 was only for a "basic" cleaning.

The only reason I brought them in was to clean and make sure it was working properly.

Even if the fan did work (which it doesn't - smoke billows into the living room -- NEVER did that before Ace came) the fan sounds like an engine on an airplane, which takes away any chance of enjoying a fire. I should have written this ages ago, but I was hoping we would figure out a way to make it work. If you have an older house, PLEASE find a company that knows what they are doing.
