"I would serve as a reference for Affordable Handyman any day! We originally hired them to replace the sheet rock in the ceiling of our garage. The work was excellent, and they were extremely qualified, flexible and accommodating. Their impressive skill set and affordability led them to several more jobs. They were able to completely remodel two guest bathrooms including plumbing, electrical, paint and tile work (which included the tedious installation of both glass and porcelain tile). The best example of their commitment to the job was the Friday before Easter. We had a house full of company and the heating element in our hot water heater burned out. Jason replaced the element and waited for the heater to refill and get hot before leaving for the weekend. This was going above and beyond the call of duty, and we truly appreciated the extra effort to help us out in a tough spot. We will definitely use them in the future."

Fireplaces questions, answered by experts

Yes, you need to leave your chimney damper open when burning a creosote log so that smoke and other debris doesn’t waft into your house as it’s burning. You’ll need to make sure your damper is fully open, even when the log continues to smoke, until it’s completely out and cold.

Chimney caps may be installed by a few different professionals, including a chimney sweep or a mason that specializes in fireplaces and chimneys. A gas fireplace technician is the best person to install a chimney cap on a gas log fireplace vent to be sure the cap is appropriate for the application.

There are several ways to determine if your chimney or fireplace damper is open or closed. A simple method is to check for airflow by placing your hand near the fireplace opening; if you feel a draft or hear wind whistling, the damper is open. An open damper might also make the room feel cooler, similar to the outdoor temperature, or cause your HVAC system to work harder than usual. For a more definitive test, you can try a visual inspection, although it may be difficult to see. Alternatively, you can light a small piece of paper and observe the smoke; if it is drawn up the chimney, the damper is open. Always use the damper handle to adjust its position.

Professionals sweep chimneys and clear obstructions, using specialized rods and cameras to ensure safety and condition monitoring.

Common problems include pilot light failure, clogged burners, and faulty ignition systems. Regular maintenance prevents many issues.
