"I don't know what's up with this Rick guy and his company, but the "experience" I didn't have with them makes me seriously wonder who all those people are that gave him such a favorable rating for his roofing services.
I called DeNeve on May 17th in hopes of getting them to give me an estimate on the repair/sealing of the flashing around my chimney-turned-linen-closet (the drywall in the closet was taking on moisture and developing a spot of mold. I decided to have the cause of the problem fixed before repairing the resulting damage). Whoever it was on the phone told me they'd be over that afternoon if they got time or definitely Monday around noon. "Great!" I said, "I can work with that."
Well, he didn't show that day or Monday, according to my 26 year old son, who set aside his entire day to wait on these people. I didn't hear from them on Tuesday, so called again on Wednesday May 22nd. 
Same guy answered the phone and upon hearing that no one showed up, told me he'd look into it and get right back to me. He called back 5 minutes later to say that he himself would be at the house around 2 pm on Friday.
Now again according to my son; the guy showed up on time and was mistakenly shown a very minor situation with my freestanding fireplace flue. I'd already explained to DeNeve both times on the phone, however, that the problem was with a brick chimney that had become a linen closet. So, if the man was confused about what he was to look at, he shouldn't have been.
My son says the man was on the roof and gone without another word within 10 minutes. I have yet to hear anything from DeNeve.
I don't know what DeNeve's problem is/was, but I'm seriously thinking all those glowing roofing reviews are plants. I gave DeNeve a fair chance to provide a service and they screwed it up. No way will I be calling them again. 
I got the same behavior from EJS Roofing. But they're about to get their own separate review.

ADDENDUM

Well, on June 3 or 4, Rick returned again. I had called another company and was expecting them that Monday or Tuesday, 
but it was DeNeve I discovered working on my roof at the appointed time.

I say "discovered" because there was no announcement upon his arrival. Just somebody walking on my roof. It was Rick and he was sealing exposed meshing around the chimney in question. He explained they'd been very busy the past week and apologized for not showing up as scheduled - the patch job is free.

"OK, cool", I thought. And as I pulled away for work before he was quite packed up, I asked him for a statement of what he'd done. "Sure!" he said, again apologizing for the inconvenience.

Upon my return home, I found in my post box, a barely legible invoice stating "seal chimney where webbing is thin"
It's undated; so that hasn't helped me remember if it was Monday or Tuesday. And I certainly won't be able to use it as a very convincing record that anything was actually done.

So, I was wishy-washy on the phone, eh? (Says Rick in his Jun 2 response to my original review). Perhaps (objectively; I doubt it). But that still doesn't explain the contractor's behavior.

I can't testify to the quality of the free patching because it's going to take a more persistent spate of water on the roof to say whether or not the patching worked. So far - even with these past few relatively heavy rains - all is well.

So, now, Rick did, indeed, call me a couple of times after this, asking me to adjust my original Angie's review, and I promised I would - which I am. And I'm sorry, Rick. You seem to be a nice enough guy and all, and you did me a small favor... It's just that the professionalism and follow-through delivered is still a bit wanting."

"EJS started as soon as the weather permitted. The guys showed up early and worked late for three days. It was not a simple roof, but they made it look great. They were always friendly and courteous.

"If I could give James Brown an A+, I would. My husband and I are thrilled with the fireplace mantle that he designed to our specifications, built and installed for us.  We had never liked the mantle that was original to the house, but wanted one that was wider and better suited to the furnishings and the uses to which we put our family room.  After we left a message for James, he contacted us to set up an appointment and look over the project.  We discussed reusing an alternate mantle but the modifications that would need to be made didn't make sense.  We then discussed how we planned to use the new mantle and some design ideas, but we were completely relying on James to figure how to build and mount it to a solid brick wall. 
James stopped in a few days later with some moulding samples that we could use to decide on proportions and size and we shared ideas to come up with a final design.  We did not have any specific timetable but James suggested the whole process could take about a month, which was fine with us.  After that meeting James went to work on the construction job and did stop in a time or two to check on stain colors and measurements, etc.  At the end of a month, the new mantle was ready to install.   He understood our wishes and ideas and designed and constructed EXACTLY what we wanted!  I am only sorry that we waited so long to make this change because it has really made a difference in the room!
I believe James will be posting a photo of the installed job, and we would just like to say that it's even better in when seen in person. I highly recommend him and in fact, we have already talked with him about some other projects we would like him to tackle.  Ihope we will be seeing him shortly to start work on those!"

"Project was done to completion. Quality work. Attention to detail. The workers were respectful. The worksite was cleaned after the work was done. No issues at all. Based on examples/pictures I saw from this company, I would recommend Osman Masonry for many types of projects."

Fireplaces FAQs, answered by experts

While hardwoods are the best woods to burn, a few types of woods should be avoided when burning. Wood that has not had time to season, or “green wood,” should be avoided. The extra water in the wood makes it smoke horribly, which is not a quality you want. Additionally, it’s best to avoid any wood that is manufactured or has been treated, including coated or sealed wood, painted wood, or pressure-treated wood. These woods have chemicals that will be released into your air when burned and can cause health problems.

If you’re looking for a cost-effective alternative to a traditional chimney, consider having a dummy chimney installed. Dummy chimneys can either be aesthetic-only or fully functional and can be installed on both new and older homes. Whether installed to match your neighborhood’s aesthetic or to vent your chimney, dummy chimneys are made out of a Glass-Reinforced Plastic (GRP) core, then covered with brick or stone slips to look like a traditional chimney.

Installing a fireplace outside could be more affordable, but that depends on several factors. If you’re only considering an outdoor fireplace to save on installation costs, you may be surprised once you start receiving quotes. On average, an outdoor fireplace costs around $3,000 to install, but the price can vary significantly depending on how ambitious your outdoor design plans are.

A chimney cap costs about $300 on average to install, with prices ranging from $75 to $1,000. The final cost depends on several factors, including the professional you hire, the accessibility of your chimney, the cap's material and size, whether any repairs are needed, and if it requires custom fabrication. Chimney caps are usually made from galvanized steel, stainless steel, or copper. Copper caps are the most expensive, followed by stainless steel and then galvanized steel. Excluding labor, average material costs are around $100 for galvanized steel, $250 for stainless steel, and $600 for copper. You may also face additional costs, such as hiring a chimney sweep to clean the chimney before the cap is installed.

Not every type of flooring is well suited to a wood stove. However, ceramic or stone tiles are good choices since they are durable, heat-resistant, and easy to clean. Softer flooring options, like carpet, could be damaged by the heat produced by a wood stove—or even create a fire hazard.
