“Old greystone in the city, chimney hadn't been touched in years. Summit ran a camera and found cracked clay tiles and a crown that was letting water in — showed me every bit of it on video before quoting. Flat price, relined it, fixed the crown, and it drafts perfectly now heading into winter. Honest crew that respected a 100-year-old house.”

“Booked the inspection before our first fire of the season. The tech was CSIA-certified, thorough, and walked me through the whole photo report — flagged a minor mortar issue but was clear it wasn't urgent, no pressure to overspend. In a city full of chimney companies that lead with scare tactics, this was refreshingly straight. Booking online took under a minute.”

“Summit swept our chimney and did the safety inspection right before the season. The tech laid drop cloths everywhere, sealed off the firebox, and there was not a speck of soot in the house afterward. He showed me photos from inside the flue before and after — the creosote buildup was honestly alarming, and now it's spotless. The price on the invoice was exactly the price quoted online.”
