We’re an independent guide, not a contractor. If you want help, we’ll pass your request to one local chimney contractor. If we don’t have one for your job yet, we’ll tell you. They may pay us for that referral; you never pay us anything. Who gets this: one independent Philadelphia chimney contractor, not a call list. We send them your name, phone, ZIP and what you write here, and they call or text you about this request only. If we don’t have a contractor for your job yet, we’ll tell you instead of passing it on. They may pay us for the referral. We don’t sell your details to lead brokers.
