"A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of using Springs Curb Appeal for chimney cleaning and inspection, and I couldn't be happier with the results. Their team was not only professional but also extremely thorough in their work and they even had good jokes! They arrived on time, were courteous, and left no mess behind. Which is a major concern when cleaning your own chimney!! What impressed me the most was their attention to detail. They didn't just clean the chimney; they also pointed out potential safety hazards and provided recommendations for maintenance. That’s a big deal for me since this was at my parents home; I need to know they will be safe using their fireplace this winter. I highly recommend Springs Curb Appeal for anyone in need of chimney sweep services. Their expertise and professionalism make them a top choice for ensuring your chimney's safety and efficiency. Thank you, Springs Curb Appeal, for a job well done! 10/10 would recommend!"
"I believe that Bill did a good job of cleaning our air ducts, and the price was cheap for air duct cleaning. But look out for the gotchas. I went for the offer that came through Angie's list for $159. But read the fine print. I was charged an additional $75 for having to clean "hard to reach" ducts. That being said, this is still cheaper than a previous air duct cleaning I had done some years ago. I had 19 ducts to clean and it took him about 1 1/2 hours. It's rather difficult to determine whether or not he did a good job, but I have no reason to believe that he didn't do a good job. Bill was pleasant and professional. I did experience a "no show" for the first appointment that I made. I was told that someone wrote down the wrong date. But he was punctual on the second try. "
"Real good. John did a great job and knowing he stands behind his work with a 5 Yr warranty says alot. We plan to contact John for those future projects too. Thanks for our new cedar privacy fence!"
It is generally not safe to live in a house with smoke damage, as even minor damage can pose long-term health hazards and structural risks. While it might seem safe temporarily depending on the severity, you should relocate if there is major damage or visible soot. Smoke smells and residue contain dangerous particulates and chemical compounds, including carcinogens, that are hazardous to breathe and can cause respiratory issues. These signs of damage are not always visible but can have dangerous short-term and long-term effects on your health, belongings, and your home's structural materials. You should not stay in the house until a trained professional from a smoke remediation or restoration company has assessed the damage and determined it is safe to return. Your insurance company may cover the cost of alternative housing while the professional work is completed.
Yes, a seller is legally required to disclose any known fire damage when selling a house, including damages that were repaired. That includes damages to structural components and all major systems, as well as water damage, chemical damage, and smoke damage related to the fire. Sellers use a property disclosure statement, which is regulated by each state individually, to disclose fire damage.
Burning a single palm tree stump, if you’re careful, is technically doable DIY. However, you should always take precautions to control the fire and do research if you’re burning multiple types of trees.
Some trees, such as ornamental trees, black cherry, and some oak trees, release toxins into the air when burned that can be irritating to your lungs (or even dangerous) to breathe in.
Yes, a bowl of vinegar can absorb smoke. If you want to use this method to reduce the smoke smell in your house, all you have to do is leave a bowl (or multiple bowls) of white vinegar out overnight. Alternatively, you can use bowls of baking soda, coffee grounds, or activated charcoal.
Homeowners insurance does not cover DIY mistakes, so tread lightly if you plan to tackle your own home repairs or renovations. If you cause damage to your home while attempting repairs or renovations yourself, the cost of fixing the damage is often considered your responsibility. Most policies only cover damage caused by covered perils like fire, theft, or weather—not by homeowner errors.
