We have been in business for over 7 years, and our founder is vastly knowledgeable having been raised in the industry. We pride ourselves on helping customers complete their projects in a timely way with exceptional quality, while keeping services and products reasonably priced.

"I hate to leave a bad review of any business but my experience as a customer with WB Chimney has been terrible. They did a horrible job on my wood stove install and it's been a major headache and expense getting it fixed. I'll say that I reached out to them multiple times over the course of two weeks before submitting this review but never once got a response. I had a new wood stove and chimney pipe installed by WB chimney 3 years ago. My roof was brand new at the time. They were a relatively new company but seemed friendly. After 2 years, my roof began to leak directly from the stove pipe in the ceiling. After contacting WB Chimney, they recommended scheduling a service call where they could *****. Because the warranty on the stove install was only 1 year, I paid them $150 to come out. The technicians assessed the roof and stove pipe and added some caulking. The whole assessment and "fix" took 10 minutes. This did nothing to solve my water leak problem. After contacting WB Chimney again, they suggested that there was probably an issue somewhere else on the roof, which is making its way in through the stove pipe. Their recommendation was for me to have a roofer assess the problem. I had the company that installed my roof come out to take a look. This is a local company who has an excellent reputation and has been in business for 20 years. The roofers assessment was that the stove pipe had been installed completely wrong and was bound to fail from the beginning. The cheap and easy fix of slapping a bunch of caulk around the holes was about as shoddy a fix as one could do. Not being a roofing expert, I tried to contact WB Chimney to see what they had to say. Of course I never heard anything back. With no other option I paid the roofing company another $850 to re-shingle and re-caulk around the stove piping. This was nearly as much as I'd paid WB in the first place for the install. That solved the issue. After a month of heavy spring rains, I have yet to have another leak or any other problem. Again, I contacted WB Chimney nearly a dozen times to see if they had anything to say. Never received any response! If I were you, I'd take my business elsewhere to a company that knows what they're doing"

Fireplaces questions, answered by experts

There are a few things you can keep an eye out for that indicate you may need to call in a gas fireplace repair tech:

  • Your fireplace pilot light won’t stay on.

  • You notice the smell of rotten eggs.

  • You hear hissing coming from the gas fireplace.

  • You notice a soot build-up.

  • The fire goes out unexpectedly.

If you notice a rotten egg smell or hear hissing, you could have a gas leak, which is extremely dangerous. Call the fire department and your gas company first to shut off the gas and air out your home before calling for a repair.

Soapstone wood stoves hold onto heat the longest, which means you can burn less fuel and enjoy the warmth for longer. Additionally, catalytic wood stoves include a catalytic combustor that can reduce emissions and create a cleaner burn no matter what the stove is made of. Of course, the most efficient wood stoves also tend to be costlier up front—but they can still save you money in the long run.

One of the main disadvantages of wood-burning stoves is that they use wood as fuel. This requires a lot of work, including buying or chopping wood, cutting it to the right size for your stove, and adding more logs to the fire throughout the day. You’ll also need a dry place to store the wood.

Regular cleaning prevents the buildup of creosote and soot, ensuring good airflow and reducing the risks of chimney fires that could compromise safety.

In some cases, you can use a fireplace once the insert has been removed. However, before burning a fire, you must have a professional inspect it and the chimney to make sure they're functioning properly and no damage has occurred from removing the insert. That’s because using a fireplace without an insert could create fire hazards due to issues with airflow and heat dispersion, depending on the fireplace design and material. A professional can advise on whether you should make certain repairs or modifications before using your fireplace as an open hearth.
