"My house was built in 1958 and when I bought it other than the home inspection the chimney was never cleaned. So for my peace of mind I started looking into getting it done. I found Chimney Keeper on angie's list and they had great reviews and a deal for angie's list members. I called and booked a time they called the day of and confirmed the appt and asked if they could arrive early which was not a problem. He explained the whole process and one guy got up on the roof to inspect and sweep and the other man came inside and vacuumed and cleaned the fireplace. Thankfully we got a clean bill of health no major issues and now I have piece of mind when we go to use it this year.....if it ever gets cold enough :) Would definitely would recommend and hire again."

"Yes he showed up half an hour early, and was very knowledgeable. And very careful not to get soot all over the place while he was cleaning our fireplace. He repaired the box in the fireplace quickly and efficiently. We also took him to the neighbors and he cleaned their fireplace. Very happy with them I would recommend him again."

"I asked in advance, if the brick inside and outside the fireplace could be cleaned, the man on the phone said ;Yes that they had stuff that would take anything off The workers were early (a good thing), very polite, but had nothing that even put a dent in the stains on the fireplace. It looks just as bad as it did before I hired them. I was extremely disappointed. They merely looked down the chimney from the roof for all I could tell and were done and out in 45 minutes. Misled in hiring."

Customers say: Terrific value

"Robert Douglas and his team were amazing - he had the same vision we had and handled the engineering drawings, permits and safety issues. He and his team were courteous on time and cleaned the site on a daily basis. Project was a complete tear down and rebuild of a deck and adding stairs and gate. I would recommend Robert Douglas Construction in a heart beat."

Fireplaces questions, answered by experts

A fireplace is, by definition, an enclosed space where you burn wood or other fuel for the purpose of generating light and heat. A firepit burns wood and is much less expensive to build, but they aren’t technically a fireplace as it isn’t enclosed. An outdoor oven—commonly outdoor brick pizza ovens—often uses wood as fuel, but its primary purpose is to cook food, and you’d rarely just burn wood inside them for warmth or aesthetic reasons.

Gas-burning fireplaces need servicing to keep them in proper working order. You should call a fireplace pro to inspect and clean your gas-burning fireplace at least once per year or whenever problems arise. Servicing your gas-burning fireplace will help it function properly while also extending its lifespan. It’ll also ensure that your fireplace is operating safely.

The disadvantages of a wood-burning stove include a slow heating time and the effort required for fuel. It can take about an hour for a cold stove to produce noticeable heat. Additionally, homeowners must source their own fuel by buying or chopping firewood, cutting it to the appropriate size, and storing it in a dry place. The fire also requires regular attention, as you'll need to add more logs throughout the day.

The time it takes for creosote to build up in a chimney can vary depending on how often you use your fireplace and the wood you burn. Creosote can start accumulating after just a few fires, especially if you burn unseasoned wood or allow fires to smolder. Regularly using the fireplace without proper maintenance can lead to significant creosote buildup within a few months. To prevent hazardous buildup, have your chimney inspected and cleaned at least once a year.

There are several ways to determine if your chimney or fireplace damper is open or closed. A simple method is to check for airflow by placing your hand near the fireplace opening; if you feel a draft or hear wind whistling, the damper is open. An open damper might also make the room feel cooler, similar to the outdoor temperature, or cause your HVAC system to work harder than usual. For a more definitive test, you can try a visual inspection, although it may be difficult to see. Alternatively, you can light a small piece of paper and observe the smoke; if it is drawn up the chimney, the damper is open. Always use the damper handle to adjust its position.
