Campmasters Chimney Covers

Nice to see that this crook has some friends to lie in his defense. Too bad they weren't around when I took him to small claims court, and the judge ordered him to RETURN ALL MY MONEY and TO PAY MY COURT COSTS.

Of course, as you would expect from someone who would rip you off, he has ignored the court order and refused to cough up even a dime of the money he stole from me.

Do yourself a favor... use someone else.

After proposing a thorough and comprehensive repair plan to replace rotting wood at the top of my chimney chase and to cover the replaced wood with a custom fabricated chase cover, this contractor used my absence as an opportunity to perform only HALF the agreed work and to demand full payment from my unaware and confused wife. Rather than remove the rotted lumber at the top of the chimney, he chose to conceal the damage--and the continuing rot--under the apron of the new cover he put on the chimney chase. The REPLACEMENT of that rotted wood, along with the caulking and painting of the new installation, easily accounted for HALF the labor in the job. Any rank amateur could have popped a new cover on the chimney and hidden the damage. I hired someone who touts himself as a "proud" professional. There is NOTHING to be proud of in this job. Nor in his refusal to return my phone calls over a five-day period (and counting). This proud professional even attached the new chase cover with a a pair of screws driven through the TOP of the cover--you know, the flat area that's exposed to the RAIN.

Save yourself some grief. Don't get involved with Capmaster Chimney Covers. You'll just have to get the job re-done by someone with integrity.

Add to the negligence and deception the matter of personal insult: Just how blind or stupid did this guy think I am? In photographs taken AFTER his repair, the weather stains and the dried/cracked caulk on the OLD wood trim that he DIDN'T replace match up perfectly with the photos I took of the chimney BEFORE I had it repaired.

And did he think I wouldn't notice the damage he did--and left un-repaired--in the paint finish on the chmney chase. What I got for my money was one big, quickie rip-off.
