"Worst construction company I have ever dealt with. I have 20 years in the construction trade. I should have known better. The price was too good to be true. We hired them for a large patio and retaining wall project in our back yard. Not cheap. My home is permanently damaged and our contract is still not fulfilled 14 months later. They agreed to settle and we haven't seen a dime. See you in court. -- Take a look at their work: [*** Link removed ***] They do not pay their sub contractors. Lawsuits incoming. They have a podcast and talk about being experts. -- [*** Link removed ***] They brag about how much money they make. They let sub contractors complete work and then never pay them! I would be seriously concerned if you are another company that does business with these people. Your brand will be damaged heavily by association. That interview they ask you for might lose you your customer base. They take your money and run. No communication, no schedules, no respect for your home or money. Gave them all of our patience for 14 months. They promise you the world and never deliver. They will lie to your face and break legal contracts to get paid and get out. For the love of god, do not use these people. They are a group of 20 year old millennials who want to be the next Joe Rogan. They don't understand that your word means something in this business. John Cefalu and Derek Clelan should be ashamed of themselves. - Edit 12.20.2020 They use fake reviews and stock photos as examples of their work. Very shady and dishonest people. Please read the reviews and judge for yourself. Thanks."

Fireplaces questions, answered by experts

A fireplace hearth is necessary in most areas per building codes, especially for gas and wood-burning fireplaces. Electric fireplaces may not require a hearth, so check local building codes or ask a pro for guidance if you’re leaning toward electric. A fireplace hearth can decrease the risk of flying embers creating a fire and burning your home down. That’s why fireproof material, like tile, is used for the hearth.

How big a fire pit should be depends on how many people you want to get around it on a regular basis, and how big your space is. The average fire pit size is between 36 and 44 inches. However, if you regularly host big gatherings and have the appropriate outdoor space, you can go as big as 72 inches.

Chimney liners often benefit from insulation, though it is not always required. Insulation helps improve the liner's efficiency by keeping flue gasses hotter, which enhances draft and reduces creosote buildup. It also prevents condensation, which can lead to corrosion. Insulation is important for chimneys on exterior walls or in colder climates. Some building codes may require insulation, so checking local regulations is essential.

Common problems include pilot light failure, clogged burners, and faulty ignition systems. Regular maintenance prevents many issues.

Home insurance prices depend on where you live and the individual insurance company's policies. Some insurers charge a flat fee for fireplaces or wood-burning stoves, which is often a few hundred dollars per year. Other insurers base this fee on a percentage of your annual premium. You may want to check your current or prospective policy before beginning this project.
