"The technician was prompt, took apart the fireplace, cleaned and put it back together. She made sure everything was laid out on a towel, so nothing was dirtied. She reviewed how to use the unit and was very helpful. All done in a reasonable amount of time."
"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."

Outdoor fireplaces are extremely sturdy if constructed correctly, but they do require regular maintenance. The good news is that cleaning and checking the fireplace needs to be done just once a year. However, for safety reasons, let a professional clean the fireplace. Homeowners should expect to pay between $100and$300 for outdoor fireplace maintenance. Any damage to the fireplace itself, however, will cost much more to repair.
Yes, a pellet stove can heat an entire house—as long as you choose one that’s large enough for that purpose. For context, pellet stoves generate between 8,000 and 90,000 British Thermal Units (BTUs), and you’ll need 30 to 60 BTUs per square foot, depending on your climate zone. If you’re unsure which size pellet stove to buy, reach out to a local pellet or wood stove repair company.
The cost difference between a gas fireplace and a wood-burning fireplace depends on the type of wood-burning fireplace installed. The cost to install a gas fireplace tends to be cheaper than the cost to install a brick wood-burning fireplace. Installing a gas fireplace costs about $3,600 on average, whereas the cost to build a masonry wood-burning fireplace can go up to $30,000. The cost to install a wood-burning fireplace insert or stove can cost from $700 to $6,500, about the same as a gas fireplace on average.
The easiest fireplace to build is an electric fireplace. These aren’t true fireplaces but can mimic the look of a traditional fireplace. True fireplaces, made of brick and stone, are complex and require professional installation; adding them to an existing home is demanding and expensive. You could spend $30,000 to have a real fireplace installed.
Installation typically takes 1-2 days, depending on venting requirements and site preparation.
