Chimney Rebuild and Liner Installation

I'm so glad I found Bill through Homestars. There's a good reason why he's received 10 star ratings from everyone here - he's just amazing! Bill installed a chimney liner for me in January and came back in May to rebuild my crumbling chimney. I had no idea what was involved, and he patiently walked me through the process and quickly responded to my emails and calls. He was friendly and accommodating which I really appreciated. Bill and his crew arrived on time and worked hard, taking care to ensure that the entire area was covered and protected while they worked. In the end, I had a brand new beautiful chimney which was closely colour-matched to the existing bricks. They also left the area clean and spotless. Bill and his crew were exceptional in every way, and truly wonderful to work with. The cost for all the work they did was also very reasonable. Bill is a true craftsman who takes pride in his work and he won't leave until everything is just perfect. I feel lucky that I found him, and I would highly recommend him to all my friends and neighbours!

Rebuild chimney

We first saw Bill and his crew rebuilding a chimney in our neighborhood, and was quite impressed by his work. After reading the many positive reviews in Homestars, we decided to contact Bill for an estimate to rebuild our chimney; which needed to be taken care of badly. Bill was very quick to respond and provide us with a written estimate which clearly outlined the work he will do. The price was very reasonable too.

On the day of the scheduled appointment, we had an appointment to attend to in the morning, so we were not there to receive Bill and his crew. Yet by the time we returned (about one and half hour later), they had already set up everything nicely and systemically (they carefully covered the lawn; the surrounding ground and the air conditioner etc), and were already taking down the chimney. Bill and his crew worked professionally and diligently, and were able to finish everything on schedule. The end product was great; and Bill and his crew gave us a beautiful, brand new chimney; which we received compliment from our neighbors. The crew did a very good clean up job afterwards as well. All in all; we are extremely happy with Bill and his crew, and we have definitely made the right choice in going with Bill and the Chimney Company. We would not hesitate to recommend Bill to anyone who needs to have any chimney work done; large or small.

Once again; thank you Bill for a job well done.

Chimney Rebuild

The first time I met Bill, I was very impressed by his professionalism and knowledge. He gave me a very competitive quote but assured me that safety and quality was not negotiable. Bill and his crew arrived right on time and in the space of about 5 hours tore my chimney down and rebuilt it. They did an amazing job and I honestly couldn't beleive how clean they left my lawn afterwards. I would highly recommend Bill and his crew, you will not be disappointed. Thanks once gain Bill. Cheers.

Chimney replacement

After getting 3 quotes from various companies, I went with the Chimney Co. due to the high ratings already on this site, and the reasonable price that Bill quoted. The job involved a complete tear-down and re-build of a residential chimney. I was at work when Bill and his crew came to do the job, and when I got home I was amazed when I saw that everything had been completed to perfection, and I couldn't even tell they had been there, my yard was spotless. If you have a chimney re-build or repair that needs to be done, the Chimney Co. should be your choice, I highly recommend them.

Chimney Repair (Reconstruction)

Our Chimney was following apart and we requested and obtained three quotations to repair our chimney.

We selected Bill and we were thrilled with the service he provided. Bill was prompt, tidy and delivered a high quality product on time and at a reasonable cost to us. Beyond that Bill and his team were professional and friendly.
Also important to highlight is that he arrived on the job when he said he would; completed the job when he said he would.

Chimney work and wall masonry

Bill returned my calls quickly, got the info and said he would get back to me when there was suitable weather. Bill did call back with an appointment, came when they said, and did a GREAT job. Bill also took steps to save us money on the total job. Great to deal with, true to his word, and very personable!

Hurricane Sandy

Two years ago Bill, the owner of The Chimney Company, tuck-pointed and resurfaced the cap of my chimney in the Scarborough Bluffs. He did an excellent and clean job and came in with the most reasonable quote. Last week the strong winds of Sandy shifted some of the hardware atop my chimney. I phoned the Chimney Company and asked for a quote to have it repaired. Two days later Bill emailed me to say he had taken care of the problem at NO CHARGE! I couldn't believe it. This company is the best and I give Bill and his team the very highest recommendation.
