She had a fireplace mantle made and explained to our salesman what she wanted and showed him photos of the mantle. He said that will never work.

She then went to Burlington fireplace where they understood and they were able to assist her and her fireplace turned out spectacular.

Jordan and Peter went above and beyond our expectations. We had a stone hearth that had tile glue on top of it that no one wanted to remove. Jordan and Peter isolated the area and not only removed the glue but didn't create any dust outside of their "tent". They were super mindful of dust. When they were finished they cleaned up so well that we didn't have to do anything other than rearrange our furniture. Thanks again guys.

After getting a plumber and chimney service to look at the situation, I was left with the options of buying a new high-efficiency water heater that was vented directly outside or installing a new chimney liner.

I then posted a 2-star Google review after my time and effort was wasted working with this company's reps.

First before I express my satisfaction with my experience with Pratt chimney repair I want to say…read morepratt chimney repair is the most professional firm I have ever done business with in the last 30 years. I called the morning after the recent Windstorm and the receptionist was polite and professional all business she told me someone would be over to my home to check out the damage in a few hours. Two hours later the owner Steve arrived to look over the damage he went on the roof to see firsthand the damage, he took the damage Chimney Cap with him and said he would try to get a new cap made as soon as possible and have it installed as soon as the cap was made he would try for a fast turnaround time. now this chimney is not the normal size cap it's around 40 x 48 located 40 ft off the ground. the company kept me informed on a timely basis on the progress of my repair. In about a day and a half I was notified that the owner Steve and the crew were coming over early afternoon to repair my chimney when they arrived they went right to work. While installing a new cap they discovered damage exhaust pipes inside the chimney they replace the damage pipes with new ones. The owner crawled inside the chimney and made sure the pipes were repaired and secured. They did install the Chimney Cap and Security in place they put the caps on the two exhaust pipes and then they caulked the screws and seems and they were finished the owner and the crew were professional courteous and thorough the owner Steve has a high level of Integrity. The company provides quality and responsive service I highly recommend them. Steve is the real deal, it's refreshing dealing with a business owner who stands behind his work. Thank you very much.

We bought a new house this year with two chimneys that both needed liners and mason work. We've had…read moreloads of work done on the entire house with a variety of contractors, which is probably my least favorite thing to manage and coordinate. Joe was incredibly responsive and punctual. His inspection was extremely detailed with photos, and he took the time to explain our needs better than any other contractor we had come out. This isn't the kind of project you want to spend ANY money on, but the quote was thorough and affordable. The work was scheduled when it was convenient for us and timely. The workers were punctual, polite, and extremely detailed. The fireplace was left cleaner than they found it. We had a small issue the first time we had a fire and Joe was out the next day to resolve it and everything has been perfect since. We enjoy the fireplace every single day. I've suggested Elite to multiple people already and wouldn't hesitate to use them again....though I hope I never have to! :)

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.

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.

I called Pratt Chimney and Steve came out within a couple of days to give his evaluation. We needed to have the chimney repaired, attic restoration for water damage, and drywall replacement and painting done. Steve worked us into their cramped schedule in order to prevent further damage as much as possible. Work was scheduled to start a couple of weeks after the estimate. Because heavy rain was expected before the scheduled work start date, Pratt came our and secured a tarp over the chimney areas to prevent further damage. Brad and his assistant were amazing, courteous, and hard working, completing the job with the required follow-up to allow concrete to set properly, perform water testing, et al. The thorough water test of the chimney and the flashing around it revealed further leak points which required full replacement of the flashing by a Pratt Sub-contractor. Final test showed no leaks. I was then able to schedule the other repairs that were required to complete the attic and room drywall damage abatement. One other thing, the original work was completed in June 2020 [I thought that I had entered a review at that time, but it appears that I did not :-(]. In May, 2022, We noticed water dripping in the basement from an apparent leak around a sewer vent pipe [not associated with the chimney]. I called Pratt to see whether I could get their sub-contractor who did the flashing on our chimney to repair this job. He was not available to me, so Steve sent one of his guys out [another super courteous young man], who went on the roof and caulked around the vent pipe, as well as the exposed nail heads there and around the attic vents. All I can say is that I would recommend Pratt's Chimney without hesitation!!!
