"It went fine.  Three guys installed it in 3 hours.  They took care to lay tarps so my white carpeting would remain white.  They showed me how to use the fireplace insert and gave me tips about wood.

"These professionals know their stuff when it comes to fireplaces and chimneys. They inspected the two fireplaces in my 100 year old house and found some issues that needed to be addressed. Quoted me a fair price. Prompt and expert work performed to fix damaged mortar, reduce fire risk. I highly recommend them!"

"Black Diamond Masonry did a great job on our fireplace remodel. They were always on time and very well organized. They also walked us thru the project step by step and helped us make good decisions on materials. Black Diamond was the cleanest contractor we’ve ever had, leaving our home spotless after each visit. Their stone work was perfect and the mantle looks great for the price. Highly recommend!"

"The owner was hard to deal with, with a million excuses for almost everything. He didn't seem especially familiar with Angie's List or what the deal was. However, upon prodding, a competent worker did come out and get the fireplace started. He wanted us to pay for transportation from Gilroy + &125/hr. However, finally he took the $99 as promised on Angie's list. More communication needed between Angie's List and vendor."

"Excellent. We replaced a wood burning fireplace with a gas fireplace. We asked the company to see if they could remove the old tile without damaging it, a tricky task requiring some finesse. They managed to do that very well, and we were able to clean the old tile and have them place the tiles around the new fireplace which required a lot of precise cuts to fit the new fireplace size. They did a great job, and replaced/repaired and textured the sheetrock surrounding the fireplace. The workers were very neat and cleaned up everything when they finished. Highly recommended"

"Randy and his team were extremely professional and responsive. I received a quote immediatly upon conclusion of our first meeting. Randy met with me two more times prior to starting the work - first, to look at paint colors and second, for him to show me a sample. All prep work was immaculate, and my house was left spotless every day. They completed the work a day early, and I couldn't be happier with the results! I will definitely be using Randy and team for additional jobs in the future. I highly recommend them!"

"This was my first experience in remodeling and working with Nathan Weizmann of Goodfellas.  I was very pleased with the work and enjoyed working with Nathan.  He was very organized and walked us through how the process works, timelines, city permits and items that we are required to choose and purchase such as tiles, faucets, etc.  Nathan was excellent at keeping us updated on the daily objectives and dependancies and he was very responsive when we had questions.  We added additional work and had them remodel our two fireplaces.  They finished within the time frame that they initially estimated.  I would definitely work with Nathan again on future projects.

Fireplaces questions, answered by experts

Not every type of flooring is well suited to a wood stove. However, ceramic or stone tiles are good choices since they are durable, heat-resistant, and easy to clean. Softer flooring options, like carpet, could be damaged by the heat produced by a wood stove—or even create a fire hazard.

Handbuilt masonry fireplaces are likely what comes to mind when we think about curling up by the fire at the end of the day. But bricks in the firebox and chimney tend to be heavy, which is not ideal for homes with weak or damaged foundations.

Prefabricated fireboxes come with a full flue and chimney system, significantly reducing the price and installation time. However, if you need to replace the panels down the line, you are locked into the same model or something very similar.

Although no heating appliance can be entirely risk-free, a fireplace insert is considered a safer alternative to a traditional open fireplace, thanks to their enclosed design. With a sealed combustion chamber, a fireplace insert effectively reduces the risk of sparks and embers escaping into the room, minimizing the chance of an accidental fire.

Additionally, an insert comes equipped with various safety features, such as tempered glass doors that create a barrier between the flames and the surrounding space. This enhances both safety and energy efficiency by preventing heat loss. As an added bonus, many inserts are designed to meet strict safety standards that ensure proper ventilation and combustion.

You can research your fireplace insert or retrofit by checking out the EPA wood stove database. The database includes information, such as a model's emission rate, efficiency, and carbon dioxide output.

The burn time of pellets in a pellet stove depends on factors such as stove size, heat setting, and pellet quality. A full hopper of pellets can last anywhere from 12 to 48 hours. Lower heat settings will extend burn times, while higher settings will reduce them. It's important to choose high-quality pellets because they burn more efficiently and produce less ash, maximizing the stove's burn time and overall performance. Regularly monitoring the pellet level ensures consistent heat output and optimal efficiency from your pellet stove.
