"Made the appointment Thursday for Saturday at 2:30. Saturday 2:30 I get a knock on the door, Brian introduced himself... clean, friendly, and ready to hit the chimney. Gets his equipment, and gets to work. He cleaned out and inspected the firebox. Checked out the flue and the protective screen then cleaned the chimney. When he was done with the inside, he went up on the roof and finished inspecting the chimney from the top making sure that everything was functioning as it should. Came back in, packed up all his gear, made sure the area was clean. I asked about their "Fire and Ice" system. Gave me the info I needed, no hard sell simply answered my questions. Based on this experience I will use them again to clean my other fireplace and other services that they offer."
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.

"Gary was  prompt and professional for each appointment.  On the initial appointment, he patiently answered all my questions, provided a good selection of products to choose from, and gave a quote for services.  The day of service, Gary prepped & painted the inside of the fireplace as well as all hardware on the doors.  For the finishing touches, he installed a new burner and fire glass.  When he left the area was clean and ready to be enjoyed.  My boring, outdated gas fireplace is now updated, and looks great!!!  I'd hire Gary again.

"We had several problems with our fireplace. It had started not drawing well despite the chimney having been cleaned a year before.  A lot of fire smell was entering the entire house even with an apparently clean burning fire.  Also the back wall of the fire box had a number of cracked bricks and an earlier patching job done by a former owner was crumbling.  There was similar deterioration on the firebox floor.































































































































Rich came on time for his estimate and immediately said the lower end of the flue might need to be recontoured because there was a flat spot that could cause the fire gasses to rebound downward.  He said the cracking in the back wall was probably due to moisture seeping down through an old chimney cap.  He told us at least some of the bad bricks should be replaced and any remaining cracks patched with the right kind of heat resistant cement.  He also recommended a new concrete chimney cap to keep moisture from penetrating into the porous chimney bricks.  He further suggested a vent to the outside at the back of the firebox to allow air to be drawn in to the base of the fire to assist in the drawing up of the gasses.































































































































But we were all puzzled by why the fireplace was suddenly not working as well as it had over the years. Rich asked if there had been changes in the house, like new windows or vents.  Yes!  We had moved our furnace into the attic and changed the cold air return from near the floor to the hall ceiling.  Apparently that caused an air flow in front of the fireplace that picked up the fire smell and drew it into the furnace, which propelled it throughout the house.  Problem identified!  Rich thought the air vent would solve this.































































































































Before Rich came to do the job, I tried the gas fire starter with no logs on the grate.  Surprise!  Flames rushed out of the cracks in the fireplace floor!  When Rich removed the brick around the line, he discovered a rotten pipe and no real connection between the gas line and the starter.  Another problem caused by the shoddy work done by (or for) the previous owner.































































































































Long story short, Rich arrived for the job exactly on time and spent the whole day with a helper doing all the work he had recommended.  It was noisy and dusty, but he put a tarp covering the fire box and also placed tarps on the floor.  We added coverings for the furniture.  In the afternoon we asked him to replace some more bricks so there would be less visible patching.  He managed to do this and was done before we had guests in the early evening.  We have since tried the fireplace and it works fine!































































































































We did have a little issue about the final bill, as the extent of his work had changed during the job and the effect was not clearly communicated.  We finally worked it out, but it pointed out to both of us the need to be clear about work changes.  We recommend Rich not only for his timeliness and good work, but his thorough diagnosis of, and solutions for, our fireplace problems.

"Fireplace Door Guy definitely exceeded our expectations. Not only was Danny (the owner) professional and responsive, the quality of workmanship was truly artwork. Our custom fireplace door is now the centerpiece of our main living room. We were so pleased with the door, within a month we ordered a 2nd door for our bedroom fireplace. Thank you Danny"

"I recently hired Chimney Sweep Masters to replace our old, rusty fireplace, which was deemed unsafe by multiple inspectors due to its age and condition. Our fireplace issues began last winter when we discovered a leak from what we later identified as a Chase Cover. After deciding to replace the fireplace, we chose Chimney Sweep Masters for the job, and we couldn’t be happier with the outcome. The entire process was seamless. The office staff and the installation team were excellent, guiding us through various options and allowing us ample time to make the best choice. The new stone façade and gorgeous mantle have transformed the fireplace, and we absolutely love the results. Overall, it was a five-star experience."

"We hired Fireplace Freddie to inspect and fix our 100-year-old fireplace & chimney, making it safe to burn real wood again. Nick and Scott came out quickly, and used cameras to inspect. During the inspection Nick visually showed me what the issues were. He also verbally suggested the fix. After the inspection, we received pics and a price quote to fix the issues by installing a stainless steel sleeve in the chimney. We sent the pics and info to 3 other businesses to compare prices. After speaking with Nick numerous times, including 2 conversations with my old school contractor buddy who asked Nick just about every ridiculous question he could possibly think of, Nick remained cool and answered all of his questions. Nick also agreed to do the job with a permit from LADBS which they included in the price, so we decided Fireplace Freddie was the right company to do the job. Patrick was our installer. He had a co-worker, but I didn't catch his name. They showed up on time, covered the floor and furniture and did their job. It took a few days as they said it would, but they were on time, clean and friendly. Each day they came, they covered everything. Each night, they cleaned up and uncovered everything before they left. Patrick also dealt with our LADBS inspector who admittedly was not well versed in chimney repair. Patrick was very friendly, gave the inspector the information he needed including printed specs from the manufacturer, and we passed inspection w/o issue. Scott came back 1 week later to test the fireplace. He lit a fire to make sure it was all good, and it is. To sum it all up, everyone was friendly and professional. The job went super smooth, and we are able to use our wood burning fireplace again, safely.  I would highly recommend Fireplace Freddie. A+"

"We had a major remodeling of our primary and guest bathroom, walk-in closet, fireplace, and laundry area. We are glad to say they thrilled us about the results, now we feel like we live in a luxurious hotel every day! The good thing about working with Best Builders Group is that they have plenty of resources, and they have experts in different areas. We asked for a lot of changes and they always try very hard to accomplish them even though some of them were hard tasks. The team is very professional and what’s more important is that they are always patient in communication. We want to thank Zohar and all the team members who took good care of the house! We really appreciate their positive attitudes and energies towards work, and we feel very safe to see them working in our house. Not only did they take care of the project professionally, but they also helped with a lot of miscellaneous work such as helping deliver orders from local vendors and meeting with other vendors on making work smoother, which we truly appreciate!"

"While initially they were not what they had promised, ultimately they fixed them and did a great job. They wanted to do a good job is what stood out about this provider as they were doing the work for me. I definitely feel like they tried to be customer service friendly but not all of their staff members understood everything about the fireplaces but at the end of the day their ultimate goal was to make you happy."

Fireplaces questions, answered by experts

There are fire codes for a fireplace mantel made of wood or other combustible material. The mantel must be mounted at least six inches away from the fireplace opening on all sides with a non-combustible material—like stone or brick—installed between the mantel and fireplace. Building codes and regulations will vary based on your location, so before beginning the project, research the requirements in your area.

You should only use water to put out a fire in your fireplace in an emergency situation. Even then, it is better to use a fire extinguisher to put out a fire quickly. Make sure every room in your house that has a fireplace also has a fire extinguisher—and that everyone in your household knows how to use one.

Your chimney needs a structurally sound chimney cap, protective lining, damper, chimney flashing, and brick and mortar to prevent water from goind down your chimney. A pro can help you identify where the issue is so that you can stop water from coming down the smoke shaft, through your damper, and into your home.

You should clean the ashes from your wood stove at least once a week during the heating season to maintain efficiency and safety. Additionally, it's crucial to have a professional clean the chimney and flue annually to remove creosote buildup, which can pose a fire hazard and affect the stove's performance. Regular cleaning ensures optimal operation and reduces the risk of harmful emissions.

The height of the chimney for your outdoor fireplace depends on where the fireplace is located. Ideally, the chimney should be 2 to 3 feet higher than surrounding structures; this allows smoke to ventilate properly without endangering anyone or anything.

Note: Your municipality may have strict requirements regarding chimney heights, so it’s always a good idea to check local building codes.
