"John at Cornerstone Masonry did an outstanding job of replacing missing bricks and tuck pointing a very large area on my Polk Blvd all brick home. The work was top notch and makes this century old two story look like new. The quality of the work was excellent with attention to the smallest details. Punctuality and communication were excellent. The job was done on time and for the quoted amount. I am very satisfied with the finished product and I have hired them for another project."

"Our roof went out during the large storm over the summer. We had leaks at several areas. I did five bids and Tim came in under most of the others. The work was done in two days."

"Kirby's crew is absolutely amazing from start to finish! They help my aunt on short notice. Their attention to detail was on point. From having ramps, door covers, floor protection mats, mattress covers, bubble wrap, stretch wrap, and boxes on hand exceed all our expectations. Courteous, hard working, very efficient and professional service. We will be using them in the future!!!"

"Everything about EJS Roofing was fantastic.  The cost was where I didn't cry, they answered all my questions and some of those question were silly.  They came in the morning and were done by end of day.  We had a very dry summer so I waited until a good rain to see that after years of battle, I had no leaks None.  Beautiful roof and garage roof.  Very friendly.people. They also did a great job cleaning up, Not a nail or a tiny pieace of shingle to be found.  I have given a number of people I know EJS's name..

Fireplaces questions, answered by experts

A quality pellet stove that receives proper maintenance can last between 15 and 20 years, while most will last at least 10 years. The exact lifespan depends on factors like frequency of use and how well the stove is cared for. Proper maintenance—such as periodically cleaning the vents, vacuuming the ash pan, and refreshing the pellets as needed—can significantly extend its life, making it a worthwhile long-term investment.

Yes, removing a chimney is a difficult and major undertaking. Chimneys often provide structural support to a home, so if it's a load-bearing structure, you'll need to take extra precautions to maintain your home's integrity. A project of this complexity typically requires a structural engineer, a masonry contractor, and a demolition crew. The removal process may involve taking the chimney out brick by brick from inside the walls. The cost for chimney removal can range from $2,000 to $10,000, depending on the job's complexity. Due to the difficulty and cost, some homeowners opt to remove the fireplace and seal the chimney at the top and bottom, sometimes also removing the visible exterior portion at the roofline.

Yes, you should seal and cap an unused chimney to protect it from damage. Sealing the structure helps prevent moisture damage, which can lead to issues like cracks, spalling, efflorescence, and damaged mortar joints. Capping the chimney is also crucial to prevent blockages, damage from invasive critters, and downdrafts, while still allowing for proper air ventilation to manage moisture. For the best results, consult a chimney professional to select the right type of chimney or flue cap for your home. It's also wise to continue with annual chimney inspections to maintain the structure's integrity.

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.

To maintain a stove, clean the stove, chimney, or vent regularly. You should also use seasoned wood or pellets. Schedule an annual professional inspection to ensure safety.
