"I recently contacted Aim Chimney for an opinion regarding wetness problems we were experiencing, as a result of a chimney rebuild and roof repair done by a contractor. With the photos I sent her, Yvette was able to suggest a number of possible scenarios. She included drawings that helped explain what should have been done. As a result, I was able to approach the contractor with knowledge and confidence. I am very appreciative and sincerely grateful to Yvette, for the time she took to respond to my questions. I regret that we are too far away to have Aim Chimney correct the problem if the original contractor doesn't. She did, however, provide me with the name of a reliable company in our area. Thank you, Yvette and Aim Chimney for going above and beyond!" - Ines from Dwight
