"The technicians showed up the next day to give us a quote, and then (once we agreed to the quote) they were able to start work immediately (same day). They installed a chimney cap, sealed two other old chimney pipes (no longer in use), sealed the stone of the chimney itself and also installed a flexible crown seal. It was more than we thought to have done on the chimney, but the peace of mind is worth it. They finished in about 1.5 hours and did a great job. Would hire again."
"These guys cared! through any obstacle that occurred a solution was quickly found to satisfy all!! Clean neat and respectful must be the motto of 5 Star. I highly recommend Jeff and his guy Sean. I had a chimney liner installed in my older home and they took care to leave it better than they found it. Some pointing was done as well at the top of the chimney that needed fix. I now look up with pride once again knowing the guys set me up for the next season change !"
"I was very pleased with the work that was done by this company. Initially I thought that I only needed a chimney cap installed, but after a careful inspection of my chimney, it was found that a crumbling and deteriorating lining of my chimney interior wall had occurred leaving a potentially dangerous situation in my house. I was actually shown the damage so I could determine for myself the extent of the problem. The company installed a new lining and chimney cap in a short period of time, leaving a clean work area. The workmen were extremely polite and answered all my questions thoroughly. I would definitely recommend them for chimney work."
"This was a great experience for me. I'm always nervous about hiring folks, paying too much, being disappointed with the end result, etc, ...but my mind was set to ease when working with Vinny and his team. I first signed up for the chimney cap and cleaning $65. Was very pleased w/ the work done and appreciated the pictures taken when working at the top of the chimney so I could be shown. Following, I asked him to quote chimney caps for the other chimney and 5 ash pit clean out doors with installation. He came back with options (3 caps on that other chimney or one custom size chimney cap) along w/ his recommendation. He did the same on the ash pit clean out doors. I always like when someone takes the time to extend choices and explain why they would do it a certain way if it were their house. The pricing was fair and I felt like I could trust him to do the job. He communicated with me regularly over e-mail, text and calls while we were sorting products (custom chimney cap and the clean out doors) and scheduled the installation when they were ready and it was convenient for me. Their work and service they did was excellent. I'm very pleased and highly recommend. If you want someone that will guide you through it, listen to your input, price fairly and care that you're happy in the end ...look no further. "
"All Access did an excellent job. They evaluated the chimney and provided recommendations to enhance efficiency. They relined the chimney, installed all required caps and the clean out box. The team was very professional and courteous, and the team lead was particularly amazing. Michelle was extremely understanding of my particular situation and was very helpful in ushering me through this process. I would definitely recommend them and would use them again."
"I initially called for a chimney sweep only. When the technician arrived he informed me that both caps on top of the chimney needed to be replaced. He installed two new caps very quickly. They arrived on time and called ahead of time to let me know they were coming. They were very careful with the dust coming out of the chimney and left the room where they worked very clean. Very good service overall. "
By positioning ductwork for optimal airflow and reducing potential leaks.
Neglected maintenance can lead to odors, fire hazards, impaired airflow, and reduced range and hood operation efficiency.
No, you can’t install just any microwave over your range. You have to get a specific type of microwave known as an over-the-range unit. These include venting and lighting features that you’ll need above your stovetop.
Although countertop units are more affordable, they won’t work for this type of installation. To avoid hazardous conditions in your kitchen, buy the right type of microwave for your needs.
No, range hoods do not necessarily have to be vented outside. Ductless or non-vented range hoods are available, which are common in condos or small kitchens where connecting to external ductwork isn't feasible. These hoods operate by taking in air, filtering it through charcoal filters to help eliminate smoke and odors, and then recirculating the cleaned air back into the kitchen. However, while these recirculating hoods are more versatile, venting to the outside is still the preferred and more effective method for completely removing smoke, odors, and gases from the room.
Most residential range hoods have a CFM between 200 and 600. A higher CFM means your range hood is better at removing smoke and odors from your kitchen. The measurement ultimately depends on your stove’s width and heat output as well as the size of your kitchen.
Compared to the average size of a stove and kitchen, 350 CFM would be the minimum recommended rating for the average kitchen. However, selecting a higher CFM range hood would guarantee better ventilation to match your cooking habits, whether they’re minimal or extensive.
