CAPS & DAMPERS

Chimney rebuilding and liner installation are everyday calls for CAPS & DAMPERS. An October 2026 customer described a completed liner installation with clear explanations; another October customer praised repointing and waterproofing. Google gives the business 4.9 stars from 79 ratings. The company says it serves Hartford County communities including Avon, Farmington, Glastonbury, Hartford and Newington. Customers describe both repair work and ongoing chimney care. One June 2026 homeowner said the crew repaired a deteriorating chimney over two days, left the yard clean each day and also installed a purchased pellet stove. An August customer reported using the company for wood-stove chimney cleaning for five years. In April 2026, a repeat customer described a chimney rebuild and new stainless-steel furnace-flue liner, crediting Mauricio and his partner with the two-day job and cleanup. A February 2026 customer described calling about smoke backing into the house after earlier cleaning and liner work. According to that customer, the visiting worker explained that another cleaning was unnecessary, showed how to light the fireplace in extreme cold and did not charge for the visit. Recent customers also praise cleanup: an August reviewer said all debris was removed after chimney repairs, while a September reviewer said the crew left no trace of its visit. There are also dated service complaints. In October 2025, a customer reported a confirmed inspection-and-cleaning appointment with no call and no arrival, followed by an unanswered call after waiting 90 minutes. In October 2023, a longtime sweeping customer described unanswered emails and months of delay obtaining a revised flashing-repair quote, then further difficulty getting questions answered. That reviewer also reported birds in the wood stove after sweeping and questioned the cap’s condition.
