"Darren and his wife did an amazing job on our fireplace. It looks even better than what we expected, looks like it's always been a part of our living room. We couldn't be more pleased with the quality of their work. I would highly recommend Stoneworks."
"We have Frontpoint at two houses. We had been looking for ways to cut our monthly expenses (Frontpoint is approx. $100 per month total), so I called them to find out what I could do. They informed me that I was under contract for another year, and that I cannot get out of the contract without an early termination fee that is equal to the cost of the service. I'm a little disappointed, because the upfront cost of the system was very expensive ($1,000+) for each house, so it seems odd that I would get sucked into this contract. Nevertheless, I forgot that I signed up for this with them. My calendar is marked for the day that my service ends, and I will be switching to a company that charges about half of what they do. They have OK customer service and are very responsive, but the wireless system had some issues with reception in my house due to a fireplace, and then they didn't want to work with me to get that resolved. They're OK, but I can't really recommend them."
"Our 20+ year old roof had been patched several times but serious leakage around the brick fireplace, sagging roof areas and minor occasional leaks in other areas prompted us to have the entire roof replaced. Obtained estimates from three very qualified companies and pricing was comparable across all three. One adjustment I made in comparing them was the number of sheets of plywood that would need to be replaced. Having been on the roof with Tim, we agreed that there would need to be more sheets replaced than the 3 shown on Tim's standard estimate but we would not be able to determine how many until the old shingles came off. I factored in many additional sheets at the per-sheet price to make the number of sheets to be replaced consistent across all three companies. Tim's estimate came in somewhat under the others. Throughout the estimating, scheduling, construction and follow-up process, Tim was always easy to get in touch with and kept me apprised of what was happening. He has a thorough knowledge of up-to-date roofing technologies and processes. One of the reasons I chose his company was his recommendations on the best approach for what needed to be done. His willingness and patience in answering my probably never-ending list of questions was another reason. His crew is professional and hard-working. When rain interrupted work, the stripped areas of roof were tarped. The crew worked until dark to make up for lost time on a one-day job that turned into a two-day job for circumstances out of their control. Tim and his crew did a great job of accomplishing what we needed. Des Moines Area Roofing did a great job for us.

A chimney liner isn’t required for an outdoor fireplace; you don’t technically need one if the masonry chimney uses the proper dimensions and is built to code. However, a chimney liner does serve as a protective coating for the flue. Adding a liner could improve performance, safety, and durability. In short, while not necessary, it wouldn’t hurt.
Homeowners can conduct basic visual inspections and cleaning, but professionals provide thorough checks that identify hidden issues safely.
The timeframe for a gas fireplace installation typically ranges from 1 to 7 days, depending on the complexity of the project. A basic installation with gas line connections and venting may take 1-3 days, whereas a more involved project that includes framing and masonry work can take 3-7 days.
Yes, you need to leave your chimney damper open when burning a creosote log so that smoke and other debris doesn’t waft into your house as it’s burning. You’ll need to make sure your damper is fully open, even when the log continues to smoke, until it’s completely out and cold.
In some aspects, yes, new wood stoves are better than old ones. For example, today’s EPA emission limits for wood-burning stoves are much lower than they were several decades ago. Stoves that meet these stricter standards produce less air pollution, reduce fire risks, and decrease your risk of inhaling harmful particles.
