Customers say: Super punctual

"They are very friendly and knowledgeable. The technician that came out took the time to explain everything to me to help me understand how the chimney and fireplace work and why he recommended the repairs he did. And ever since the work was done, our fireplace has been burning cleaner and actually feels safe for my home and my family. Thank you all so much!!"

"Our new backyard, completed by Rock N Block turned out AMAZING! We haven’t used our backyard for almost 10 years because it was in major need of an upgrade. Brandon came out and helped us design a winner. Entire job was done in 3 days. Great value, and amazing service. Thank you so much!!"

"I called a couple companies about my Dyna Flame 3000G fireplace that was not working. After talking with one company that told me Dyna Flame was out of business, and replacement parts could not be found, I was discouraged. I decided to call around some more for other opinions. One other company did not get back to me. Gary called me back, and we scheduled an appointment. He came out, checked a number of things, and finally zeroed in on the high temperature device. He was able to find a replacement in his truck, and now I have a working fireplace.
Given the estimate of $3000-$6000 dollars to replace my fireplace from the other company, I was quite happy to pay Gary the $200 for the service call and part. Thanks Gary!

"The sweep did a great job.  He cleaned a fireplace that opens on two sides.  He was very careful about taping off the side of the fireplace that would not be accessed to clean the flue.  Tarps were laid to prevent spreading of soot, etc.  The job took less than an hour.  He was also very good about recommending how to clean our gas logs to prevent the buildup of carbon dioxide over time.

"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 hadn't used my condo's fireplace in the 7 years I owned my condo. I am going to be renting it out so wanted to make sure everything was ok. The technician came over on time (even earlier) and inspected the chimney. It turned out that no cleaning was needed. I was only charged for the inspection and even used the Angie's List coupon. He gave me some advice on screens to use in front of the fireplace and referred me to a vendor."

"I had a total of three bids to do this work. I am a retired professional engineer so I wrote detailed specifications for this project and I am well acquainted with what it takes to ensure getting a quality construction project. I was very pleased with T. F. Larkin (Tim) when he arrived to make his estimate. During our interview, Tim made several design suggestions which revealed to me his creative talents which were not apparent from my two previous bidders. We have a town home with an entry, kitchen, office/den, dining/living room (14 foot ceilings), master bedroom, master bath, guest bedroom, guest bath and a hall connecting the bedrooms and living room. For our living/dining room Tim suggested doing a triple stacked crown moulding which is one of his artistic specialties since this would high light our 14 foot high ceilings which it certainly did. He also added artistic mouldings around our glassed in bar, kitchen, master bedroom floor to ceiling drape and both baths. In the hallway was an attic access which most contractors just do in an ordinary way. However, Tim did a creative design that made the attic access look as if it were hewn out of the ceiling like and art piece. I specified that all the moulding materials be painted with two coats prior to installation and caulking and touch up painting after installation. His crew of six first worked for 5 days in January then returned for one day on April 10th to complete some base mouldings that had to be done separately because of large furniture prices that had to be disassembled, moved then reassembled by another contractor. Tim's crew of 6 were very professional and very careful to protect our furnishings and our many art pieces. During the final touch up his crew used lights fastened to their hats to inspect and make sure all defects were corrected. Following this installation, I used a painting contractor recommended by Tim to paint all of the interior with 10 colors (12 different paints) which turned out exceptionally well also.
Over the years I have been involved in more than two dozens remodeling projects at a larger home we lived in for 26 years and our current town home. At the conclusion of this job, I told Tim it was the best $10,000 that I have ever spent on a remodeling project.

Fireplaces questions, answered by experts

A fireplace can increase a home's value by as much as 12%, with some reports indicating that homes with fireplaces list for around 13% more than the median sale price. Fireplaces are both functional and aesthetically pleasing, adding a charm that many homebuyers find desirable. The actual return on investment depends on the fireplace's size, type, and material.

However, a fireplace can detract from a property's value if it is unusable, not up to code, or in need of immediate repairs. The type of fireplace also matters; custom electric fireplaces and inserts can add value, while freestanding units that can be removed have less impact.

Homeowners can conduct basic visual inspections and cleaning, but professionals provide thorough checks that identify hidden issues safely.

Replacing older chimneys or fireplaces, like wood-burning stoves, with something more eco-friendly can actually increase the value of your home. Some homeowners opt to remove chimneys as they pursue LEED certification, which may also increase the value of your home. But in general, many potential buyers actually look for operational fireplaces in homes, so removing a chimney and fireplace could decrease your home’s value by up to $5,000.

A fireplace hearth is a fireproof flooring material that extends out from the base of the fireplace and into the room. Hearths can be made of brick, ceramic, marble, limestone, and more. A hearth serves the purpose of decreasing the fire risk in the area directly around the fireplace. If flying embers hit carpet or wood, they’ll spark and create a fire. But if they hit something like tile or granite, they’ll simply go out.

For many people, the primary disadvantage of a gas fireplace insert is that it doesn’t look or smell like a classic wood-burning fire. Additionally, the labor costs of installing a gas insert are higher than some other types of fireplace inserts, including electric and pellet inserts. There are also limitations on where you can install ventless gas fireplaces because they’re banned in certain places (including California).
