Question
Hi Bart,
  Can you recommend anyone that can reline a 30' chimney in a 100 year old house using insulated stainless pipe. I live right between Topeka and Manhattan. I received a quote from The Energy Center in Manhattan that I can't afford. I can purchase top quality materials that a stove store would sell. I need someone who will climb on my roof and install the pipe. Thanks, John Archer 212 W. Palmer, St. Marys, KS phone: 785 437 2281

Answer
Hi John,

I would suggest Countryside Chimney Sweep
Dennis Bowser
4310 NW 78th Street
Topeka, KS 66618    (785) 286-1191
(785) 286-1191 FAX

Please let them know where you got the referral.

I've known Dennis for years and he does quality work.  I don't know if he'll install someone else's material or not.

Thanks for using allexperts.com!
