I called Beck’s to have someone come out and check my fireplace that I had never used since moving in years ago but it looked very clean and hardly used. I had previously had another company come out a year ago and I was told not to use my fireplace because it had a cracked tile and needed to be parged. Their price for that was very expensive, so I opted to just not use the fireplace that winter.
This year I called Beck’s to get a second opinion about needing the repair. Ryan arrived on time, very professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. He took his time, answered all my questions and was very thorough. After viewing the entire fireplace, smoke chamber, and flue twice along with inspecting the exterior, he told me there was no crack and it did not need a repair. I will eventually need to get it parged to bring it up to code should I want to sell my home. However the cost apparently is not nearly as expensive as projected by the other company. Glad I can use it now with the gas prices rising. Service: Chimney inspections
