The chimney repair work in beautiful Cambridge has been completed.  Ed, our field manager, was pleased to work with SeaDar construction on this job.  "Working with these contractors was a pleasure.  They were outstanding, professional, and communicative throughout each stage of this complex job."  What Ed is referring to was a large chimney rebuild, 3 in fact, with chimney liners installed, caps, fire places repaired, the whole works; however, what made this job particularly interesting for any chimney sweeper, never mind a chimney sweep in Cambridge, was the level of communication necessary to be accurate and efficient mixed with the complex staging involved to complete the work safely without holding back the other contractors on the job site.

This job site, not far from Harvard Square, hosted over 30 professionals performing beautiful remodelling work on this very old home.  We had 3-4 of our technicians working on the chimneys, efficiently moving from one project to another, sometimes inside, sometimes outside, to manage the job through inclement weather and to facilitate other needs of the job site.  SeaDar Construction appreciated our work and the feedback given to us from their site managers and office staff was exemplary.  In the meantime, a sincere thank you goes out to all of the professionals at SeaDar construction for choosing us and for running such an efficient and professional job site for us to do what we do best, solve chimney problems.

Here are a few before pics of the job site:

Here are some photos of the staging we set up to repair these chimneys.  Very complex staging for any contractor and we thank Boston Ladder Company for their outstanding service to us when we needed more staging.
