I hired S & T Coombe to install a Class A chimney system on my brand-new home after speaking with…read moreJeremy. I trusted them as professionals and specialists in this type of work, and I could not be more disappointed with the result. I paid $6,000 total, including $1,200 in labor, only to end up with an installation that damaged my home and required my builder to step in and correct it. They subcontracted the install out, and the work performed was sloppy, damaging, and clearly not up to code or manufacturer standards. Instead of following manufacturer guidelines, which call for brackets to be mounted directly to the structure using steel stand-off hardware with properly flashed and sealed penetrations, they took a shortcut. They screwed pressure-treated wood strips through the vinyl siding and used those as the mounting surface for the support brackets. This method is not code-compliant, not weatherproof, and not durable. The pressure-treated wood is exposed to the elements, which means it will swell, shrink, and eventually degrade and fail. More critically, the brackets were installed with enough force to visibly compress and distort the vinyl siding, destroying the Dutchlap profile and compromising the siding's ability to expand and contract. This isn't just a cosmetic issue, it's a long-term moisture intrusion risk that will lead to rot, mold, and hidden structural damage. Every building professional and code expert I consulted confirmed this was improper and amateurish. Worse yet, when I raised these concerns, Jeremy of S & T Coombe didn't acknowledge the mistake, and instead doubled down that this is standard practice and something that they "do all the time". When I continued to push back on the install, he proposed a half-baked fix: they'd remove the pressure-treated wood strips, then cut slits into the vinyl siding, slide the same strips behind it, and reinstall the brackets through those slits, then caulk over the cuts and call it done. To top it off, they said I'd need to sign a liability waiver releasing them from responsibility for any future water damage this method might cause. This wasn't a real solution, it was a cosmetic patch job that still ignored manufacturer guidelines and basic building standards. No flashing, no proper mounting blocks, and no real waterproofing, just a way to cover their tracks and shift the risk to me. This was done to a brand new house, and I now have to pay out of pocket to repair the damage and redo the installation the right way. I've already disputed the labor charge through my bank, but the wasted time, stress, and physical damage to my brand-new home are on them, and they've done nothing to make it right. If you're considering S & T Coombe please take my advice and run the other way. They subcontract incompetently, cut corners with zero hesitation, and when confronted, they try to cover their liability instead of fixing the issue. If they're willing to do work this visibly wrong, imagine what they're doing in areas you can't see. That's not just unprofessional, it's predatory. And let's not forget: this isn't drywall or paint. This is a chimney system, a fire-handling structure that demands precision and strict adherence to safety codes. Shoddy workmanship here doesn't just void warranties or cause leaks, it can lead to fires, carbon monoxide exposure, and catastrophic damage. That they treat such a job so casually is not only irresponsible, it's dangerous. S & T Coombe cannot be trusted. I wouldn't let them near my house again if they offered to work for free.

Greg, the owner was different on the phone than everyone else. He was so friendly and didn't make my job sound like some very involved, expensive job. He gave me a rough quote from some pics I texted and was at my house to do an accurate quote just a few days later. His quote on the phone was in the range he gave me on our phone conversation, so I was happy. Greg arrived with a helper which was also very friendly, and both respected my property and home. They were on time, gave me the best price out of 4-5 quotes and they did a great job! I got on the roof and inspected up close, and I am so happy with the finished job. He also uses better cement and products than others in our area. Hire Greg and you won't be disappointed!

Yes my insurance company knows about it, and I submit my receipts to them. This year we decided to try Spring Hill instead of our usual company. Huge mistake. The technician spent the better part of my appointment telling me how shocked he is that my home has insurance because my wood stove is from the 1800s. He kept recommending I "update" it, and when I asked what that even meant he said replace it of course. He actually had the nerve to ask me how to clean it. Seriously? He vacuumed it. Checked out the chimney and this cost nearly $200. He also told me that "much bigger, nicer homes than mine have had to upgrade their stoves, and that I'm lucky." My stove has been in my home since 1972, and it works perfectly. Complete and total waste of time. I will absolutely be going back to my previous company. I was so upset after he left I called and asked for a supervisor. I was told someone would call me back the next day. To add insult to injury, no supervisor ever even bothered to call.

As a result, the chimney's exterior brick surface began cracking and pieces of brick were falling to the ground. We needed a new liner immediately. After speaking with Phil Ciminera, we hired Lehigh Valley Chimney Specialists to install a stainless steel liner and rain cap, with a lifetime warranty. Scaffolding was built at no charge in order to protect our slate roof tiles. A wire cage mesh was built around the damaged brick chimney and a coat of cement was placed on the cage. The next day, an appealing finish of white Stucco was applied. The complete job was done in two days. This company is a prestigious company in the Valley and has earned its reputation as a LEADER for quality work and dedication to customer satisfaction. Anthony Faccadio and Jorge are very hard workers. They are professional, very courteous, and are fully experienced to answer all your questions. Cleanup?

Jason at J&J answered the phone and scheduled an appointment. He and his wife came out and inspected our 2 chimneys. Photos from inside the wood stove chimney showed a large build up of creosote partially obstructing the chimney. this is likely why the smoke had been blowing back into the room. It showed me that the prior chimney repair company had done a poor job of cleaning our chimney.
