"I have been using Thom and his crew for at least 8 years now for our chimney cleaning and maintenance, and I am very pleased with the work he does. They are thorough, clean, and always have a great attitude. A few years back the cap at the top of our chimney had some cracks and crumbling mortar; the repairs Thom made were first-quality and have stood up to the elements beautifully. He's also done mortar work on the firebrick inside the hearth. I recommend Chim Chiminey Sweep very highly and will continue to use them on an annual basis."

"Beware of shipping issues with this company. Ordered an ice maker installation kit on 10/10/25. Shipping was due no later than 10/20 according to company and FedEx tracking. FedEx tracking showed the package at their facility for 8 days without moving beginning on 10/15. Called FedEx 3 times. Each time they said they cannot find package and I have to contact shipper. Shipper has to make a claim, they will not mark it as lost. Called Appliance Parts Pros twice. Each time they say FedEx has to mark package lost before they will do anything. They also state they have to wait 14 days from them before doing anything because of their contract with FedEx. I don't care about their contract, I want what was ordered and paid for.

"The work was done as described, within the time specified and with complete attention to minimizing the impact of their efforts on our home and comfort. I particularly appreciated Paul's willingness to make sure that we we had a basic understanding of what needed to be done and why, since chimney masonry is not an area we have a lot of knowledge about. He patiently repeated and reassured us throughout the process. It is clear that this work is his passion and he brings exceptional professionalism and skill to the job."

We are Women in Cons­truc­tion, Denise and Molly. ‘Per­fec­tion­ists to a fault’ prob­a­bly best describes us. Cus­tomers are our num­ber one pri­or­ity. After more than 25 years of doing busi­ness in San Diego,we have built up extensive knowledge of the tile indus­try. Com­pet­i­tive Pric­ing, Qual­ity Ser­vice, Free Esti­mates, Per­son­al­ized Atten­tion, and an obses­sion with job­site neat­ness are the mix of ingre­di­ents that our clients appreciate. All of our work is cus­tom designed. We work together with you, the client, to inte­grate design con­cepts suit­able to your dis­tinct lifestyle. Embark­ing on a remodel can be daunting. Molly and I will walk you through the process, from choos­ing the tiles, (pass­ing on our Contractor’s Dis­count), to find­ing a design that suits both your taste and bud­get. Please browse our gal­leries for exam­ples of our work. Uses subs for plumbing, waterproofing, electrical countertops & glass shower doors. Cost is determined by the job. No travel charges.

"Denise was very timely and professional. She was honest, communicative, timely, and reasonably priced. She managed her time well to finish the work in the time window she had estimated for us and stuck to the price estimate she had given us, even when she seemed to expand on the scope of the project and add more work for herself. Denise definitely cares about the quality of the work she's done and works so that the end product will last. She was very knowledgeable about our older house and because of that, there were few surprises when she started demo to begin with the tiling work. Where other contractors would require constant messages to get a hold of them, Denise called every day to give an update on the project. She is an honest, hard worker that is hard to find nowadays and we'd love to hire her again if we ever needed more work done."

Fireplaces questions, answered by experts

You only need to repoint a chimney every 30 or more years, with some repointing jobs only necessary after several decades. If your chimney’s brickwork looks worn out or crumbly, hire a pro to inspect and repoint the chimney to improve its strength and waterproofing for many years to come.

Yes, you can put a freestanding one in a corner if you’re tight on space. Because pellet stoves don’t get as hot as other types of wood stoves, there only needs to be 3 inches of clearance from the wall on each side. Placing it in a corner should not impact the ventilation—you’ll still need to follow safety precautions by not installing too close to a window. Typically, it’s 4 feet from a window or 18 inches if the stove uses an external air source for combustion. Always check the owner’s manual for specific instructions.

There are a handful of things you can look out for that indicate fireplace repair is necessary in your home:

  • See or smell smoke in your home during use.

  • You smell gas or unusual odors coming from your fireplace.

  • The fireplace is visibly damaged or crumbling.

  • The igniter won’t light.

  • You notice shaling (pieces of chimney lining) building up in your fireplace.

  • Any portion of the fireplace is rusted.

  • You notice efflorescence (white stains) on the brick.

If any of these signs emerge or you suspect that you have an issue, call in a fireplace repair professional immediately.

Gas fireplaces use either natural gas or propane—both of which will increase your energy expenses. On average, running a gas fireplace costs $400 to $640 per year; however, these costs can vary significantly depending on the fuel price in your area and the frequency of fireplace use. If you’re looking for a more energy-efficient option, consider switching to an electric fireplace.

Running a gas fireplace is potentially cheaper than using central heating if you are heating a single room and don’t need to heat the entire house. That's because gas fireplaces are a better source of direct heat, making them more efficient for warming small spaces. Central heating, while more efficient for whole-home warmth, uses more energy overall. Strategically using a gas fireplace, therefore, can help lower heating bills.
