Before hiring
Build a stronger Virginia contractor shortlist
Describe the system
Tell companies the fuel, appliance, number of flues, approximate age and last known service. Mention smoke, odor, moisture, debris or damage without guessing at the cause.
Request the same scope
Ask each contractor to price the same inspection, cleaning or repair outcome. Confirm access, documentation, cleanup and conditions that could change the total.
Verify the evidence
Check the original rating source, current insurance and relevant qualifications. Keep the selected proposal, findings, images and invoice in your Chimney Health Passport.
