Rooftop Chimney & Roof Repair

In the interest of full disclosure, Clifford Brand, the proprietor of Rooftop Chimney and Roof Service, has been one of my most trusted friends for many years. I call on Cliff to be my «chimney maintenance guy» because I have a wood-​burning fireplace, I know that a poorly maintained chimney can be very dangerous, and I know that Cliff knows the chimney business.
Think about it for just a minute — here in the Northwest we generally use our fireplaces seasonally. When the weather gets wet or frosty, we tend to go to the woodpile, grab some of last year’s firewood, toss it in the firebox and light it up for some comforting warmth.
But what’s been going on inside that chimney since last Spring? Birds nesting? Squirrels storing filberts for winter? Trees dropping leaves, seed pods, pine cones and needles in and around the chimney? What cumulative effect has the years of wood fire heating had on the brick, the mortar, the buildup of creosote and soot inside the chimney or liner? Does my chimney even HAVE a liner? Does it have a cap to allow the smoke out, but keep the critters and debris from getting in? What is the condition of those parts? What is this «flashing» I keep hearing about being so important?
If you’re like me, climbing up on the roof to peek down the smokestack is probably not your cup of tea, especially if, like me, you wouldn’t really be prepared or equipped to deal with whatever you found up there if it were anything out of the ordinary. Cliff is the guy I send up there to check it out, and when he’s had a look, he can tell you what’s good, what’s not so good, what needs to be done today and what should be done going forward as far as regular maintenance. Most importantly, he’ll let you know if your fireplace is safe to use.
I consider myself very fortunate to have the number of a «chimney maintenance guy» (that I would trust with my life), stored on my speed-​dial. I’m going to do you a favor and give you my chimney maintenance guy’s number. It’s 503−653−3819. Tell him Pat sent you!

I just recently bought a house with a fireplace that needed to be cleaned. I called around to several places to receive quotes. One place quoted me over $ 200 but Rooftop Chimney and Roof Repair only quoted me $ 99. They came right on time, were courteous, and did an amazing job. I received the price quoted and they even told me how I could fix the flashing on my roof on my own which I appreciated. Additionally my neighbors saw the work and also asked for them to come and look at their chimneys. I definitely recommend Rooftop Chimney and Repair.
