"Oscar and his crew not only repaired a crack in the fireplace but he found that previous workers from another company didn t connect the attic furnace to the chimney. And that the exhaust pipe for the hot water heater had rusted . So he and Alberto were able to repair everything with absolutely no mess."

"Al was fantastic! He clearly explained that my fireplace was shutting off as a safety feature due to low oxygen levels. He also reassembled the logs in the firebox and showed me the proper way to start and stop the fireplace. Highly recommend his service!"

"As a fact all home owners know that Chimney sweeps or the chimney companies have the worst reputation of being crooks! No one is going to go up on to the roof to follow the Chimney guy to see what they are doing or if they are even telling you the truth about what's wrong with your chimney. Having said all that, I very highly recommend this company because from the time I made the appointment to the time the work was completed it was a wonderful experience. The cost was most reasonable and most of all very honest:) I say this because I had 7 estimates from different chimney companies for the same work and every one of them had a different price quote and one chimney guy actually went up to the chimney and started pealing the existing clay chimney liner and threw some down the chimney and some on to the lawn just to get a chimney liner work from me. Certified Chimney not only cleaned up the mess and blockage created by the other guy but did the job for less than what the other guy wanted. The work was clean perfect and I couldn't have asked for a better all around work that was done by Certified Chimney people the true professionals:) the work involved placing a double wall stainless steel chimney liner cutting open the wall in the house by the furnace resealing it as well as opening up the brick work on the outside wall of the chimney and finishing the brick and cement work outside. I thank them very much."

Fireplaces questions, answered by experts

The installation cost for a brick or stone gas fireplace typically ranges from $3,500 to $12,000. Key factors that influence the total expense include the type of material chosen, labor costs, the setup for the gas line, venting requirements, and any custom design elements.

When done correctly by a professional, chimney repointing can last for several decades—often 30 years or more. This maintenance is crucial for keeping the chimney structure sound, improving its waterproofing, and preventing more significant and costly repairs, such as a partial or complete rebuild. It is recommended to schedule an annual inspection to catch any potential issues early. If you notice the chimney's brickwork looks worn out or crumbly, you should hire a professional to inspect it.

Yes, you can use an existing chimney with a wood-burning stove if it meets specific requirements. The stove’s vent pipe size must be compatible with the size of your chimney flue. Your contractor can tell you whether your chimney is suitable for installation.

You can close up a chimney instead of demolishing it. Homeowners often go this route because the cost of removing a chimney, especially a structurally important chimney, can be expensive.

Properly closing up a chimney involves closing and sealing the damper, installing a chimney cap damper, and sealing the fireplace opening with a door or bricks. The cost to seal and cap a chimney is around $500 to $650—significantly less than the average chimney removal cost.

A fireplace that doesn’t require a chimney is simply called a chimneyless fireplace. Don’t confuse these with ventless fireplaces, however. There are some fireplaces that require ventilation via a system of pipes, not a chimney. More specifically, the fireplace in question will likely be called by its name, such as electric, ethanol, or balanced flue.
