How this site works
What this site is, and how it gets paid
This page exists because the answer changes how you should read the rest of the site. Putting it three clicks deep would be a decision about you rather than about layout.
The arrangement
We are not the people on the roof
Plano Chimney Pros is a website about chimney work in Plano. It is not a chimney company. Nobody here sweeps a flue, casts a crown or runs a gas line. What the site does is explain chimney work. We do not currently have a local company partnered with this site, so service requests are paused and no introduction fee is earned.
A future paid referral would be a real commercial interest, and you should know about it if one begins. Be skeptical of anything on here that reads like a push toward expensive work. We have tried to write the opposite site: several of these pages spend their length explaining when you do not need the thing being described, because that is the advice that is actually scarce.
A company you hire directly sets its own prices and stands behind its own work. We have no say in its quote and no ability to authorize anything on your behalf.
Absent on purpose
Things you will not find here
A great many local service websites are furnished with things that were never true. The following are all missing from this one deliberately, and their absence is the point rather than an oversight:
- No reviews, ratings or testimonials. There is no trading history behind this site to review. Invented ones are the single most common lie in this category of website.
- No certifications, license numbers or awards. We hold none. Ask any company you contact directly about its credentials.
- No stock photographs of technicians presented as a crew, no founder's story, no year we were established.
- No street address or map pin. There is no premises. A pin dropped on a residential street to look local is a lie that is trivially easy to tell and reasonably easy to catch.
- No countdown timers, no “three slots left this week”, no manufactured urgency. Chimney problems are almost never emergencies, and anyone telling you otherwise wants a decision made quickly for reasons of their own.
The diagrams on this site were drawn for it rather than bought, and the claims about Plano (the code the city adopted, the amendment it wrote, what its contractor handouts say, how old the housing stock is) come from the city's own documents and from Census data. Where a number could not be traced to a source it was cut rather than rounded to something confident-sounding.
The one number that is missing
Why there is no phone number yet
Every button on this site that would normally be a phone number now points to a notice that service requests are paused. Publishing a phone number means publishing a number that rings somewhere, and until the arrangement with a local company is finalized there is no honest number to publish. Putting a plausible one on the page would mean a stranger's phone ringing about a chimney.
We will not publish a number until a real local provider can answer it.
If you got this far
Ask anyway
Reading the about page before the service pages usually means you are trying to work out whether to trust the site. That is the right instinct, and the answer is: trust the report, not the website. Any company can write a good paragraph.
We cannot arrange an inspection now. Ask a qualified local company for a written report you can compare with a second opinion. No work may be the right outcome.
Current request status
This site is not accepting service requests. We do not currently have a local provider to receive or answer them. Please contact a qualified local company directly.
