Surviving Your Chimney Liner Installation

• Now that you are on track to have a Chimney Liner
  Installation done you should know some tips and
  tricks to survive the job. Most homeowners
  underestimate the interruption having a
  contractor in will cause in their life, but you
  can reduce the stress and mess while keeping the
  job on track with a few simple tips. Here is a
  guide for how to survive your chimney liner
  installation.

Pick The Right Contractor

• The internet makes it easy to find contractors
  for your job on your time. You can sign on and
  shop around, read reviews and make the initial
  contract with the company all in the dead of
  night. While this is one of the advantages of the
  Internet it can also lead to some issues.

Make sure you understand what type of liner is
being installed

• Everyone wants to beat their budget and get the
  best savings possible, but the type of Chimney
  Liner you need is going to restrict the amount of
  savings you can get. You can't swap out liners.
  In other words having a partial metal liner
  installed because it is cheaper when what your
  chimney and fireplace need is a clay tile liner
  opens you up for some potential expensive
  problems later.

5
Understand What The Contractor Needs From You

• Many a job has run into costly delays due to the
  homeowner not understanding what their
  responsibilities are in getting the job done.
  Don't assume that the contractor will be
  installing the liner strictly through outside
  access.

6
Get in writing what the job completion involves

• This is where most of the problems between
  contractors and home owners happen. The
  contractor pronounces the job complete and wants
  payment the homeowner looks around at the mess
  and doesn't want to pay until it is cleaned and
  returned to normal.
