Business ProfileforVonderhaar Fireplace, Stoves and Masonry, LLC

I was selling my home so the home was vacant while trying to sell it. The buyers that were going to purchase the home had an inspection done on my chimney by Vonderhaar Roofing company. The technician that inspected the chimney left the damper open which allowed a squirrel to get into my home and damage some of the wood around my windows. The damage cost me $3,000 and I would like to get my money back for this damage. The buyers who hired Vonderhaar Roofing ended up not purchasing the home so the home was still vacant when the squirrel got in. Vonderhaar Roofing is denying that they left the damper open and they state they have pictures showing that they closed the damper, however they refuse to send me a copy of their report or a copy of the pictures they have proving that the damper was closed before leaving the inspection site. The Cincinnati Wildlife took before and after pictures of the chimney and I provided that report to Vonderhaar Roofing. but they are saying That the old style lock top damper could have opened when animal was pulling on it. I lived in this home 8 years and I have never had any animal get in my home through the chimney. They also stated that the damper was partially opened when they got there so if the damper was partially opened and they say they closed it completely than how would the squirrel get into the home in the first place. The home was vacant and there was never any other inspections done on the home after Vonderhaar Roofing inspected the chimney. I did not leave the damper open to my chimney, and I should not have to pay $3,000 for damage caused by company inspecting my property. . Vonderhaar Roofing keeps stating they didn't do any work on the chimney but no one did any work on the chimney because the house was sold AS IS and Vonderhaar Roofing was the only company who had access to the chimney.
