Kelly of Safe and Warm was so efficient, in both communication and work, and we couldnt be more pleased that we found and hired him. He inspected our fireplaces/chimneys, made a variety of recommendations, and completed the work that we chose to do. We would hire him again, gladly.

"Exceptionally great service. The company responded quickly and referred me to their gas fireplace expert. He asked for a couple pictures via phone, then called me and helped me diagnose the problem and get the pilot light re-lit over the phone. No charge. These are honest and awesome people who I would recommend for any service. I'll have work done in a couple months on the drier vents and I plan to just call them; no competition."

Black stains shows evidence of hazardous cracks in firebox. Top 6” and lintel bar removed from fireplace. Not ever a good idea. Potentially making fireplace unsafe to use.
