"A year and a half ago we began the restoration of a historic home and contacted All American Chimney to restore fireplaces. We could not be happier with the results. With the help of Levi and his team of Josh, Noah and Sean they did a fantastic job. The restoration required extensive work inside and outside of the chimneys and in the end it was beautiful. They were not only professional, but courteous, competent and respectful of our home. The communication from them throughout the project was excellent. Each step along the way we knew exactly where we stood. We would highly recommend them for any chimney work you may need."
