"Excellent job! He did an excellent job on the chimney and fireplace. Neat work, cleaned the chimney from top to bottom and took care of the fireplace as well."
"The workers and office staff were easy to talk to, well informed, courteous , and efficient. They performed a thorough inspection. Recommended and installed a stainless liner and cap for the furnace flue and a new damper on the fireplace flue. Their price was better than previous quotes and even set up a partial payment plan. I am very pleased with the work they did."

"I called on Thursday, he gave estimate on Friday, started Monday and finished on Tuesday. Wow. We have a fireplace in our family room that had a wood burning stove installed in it. We wanted to restore it to a full fire place. The original opening was 42" wide X 42" high. We wanted it lowered to 32" in order to accept a standard set of glass doors and so that we could lower the mantel and install a flat panel TV above it. The original damper for the fireplace had been removed and we need a new one installed. I had other contractors provide bids, and we had trouble finding someone that would do the work we wanted in a timely manner. John came out, listened to what we wanted, inspected the fireplace, went on the roof and inspected the chimmney,( the only one that did), took measurements of everything, and gave a bid that was competetive with everyone elses. He recommended we put in a steel damper versus a chimney cap type and explained why and we decided to go with his recommendation. Note: that this is considerably more labor intensive and expensive, but I'll never have to worry about climbing on my roof to fix a sticking damper and Johns price was less than some we recieved for just installing the cap. John and his assistant were here with the new damper bright and early Monday morning. They were very polite and respectful. They needed to cut into the fire wall to properly install the new damper. When they did they discovered another wall of concrete brick behind it which wouldn't allow the damper to fit in properly. John traveled quite some distance to find a damper that would fit in the confined space. He showed up the next morning with the new part installed it and finished the remaining work by that afternoon. I very carefully inspected his work and found it flawless. The true mark of any contractor is what they do when things don't go according to plan. John was outstanding. He completed what he said he would, when he said he'd to it (original estimate was 1-2 days) and at the price he quoted. He used nothing but the highest quality materials, was on time, dependable and trustworthy. Don't let his quiet, humble demeanor mislead you John is a high skilled craftsman and a very dependable contractor.

Yes, burning wood with Dutch elm disease is a safer way to dispose of it than, say, tossing it in with the rest of your yard waste, which could potentially allow it to spread to healthy trees. But it’s always a good idea to check with your local government to make sure you’re complying with any ordinances about removing diseased trees as well as burning brush piles.
The best location for a wood stove depends on your home's layout and venting options. For optimal heat distribution, a central location on the ground floor, such as the living room, is often recommended. If you have an existing, functional chimney, installing the stove there can simplify the venting process. Alternatively, placing the stove near an outside wall can make it easier to route a new chimney through the roof. For safety, ensure no combustible materials are near the stove. Building codes typically require 20 to 36 inches of clearance between the stove and any side walls.
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.
Backdraft is usually caused by a ventilation or pressure problem. To stop it, you need to replace the air your fireplace draws out through the chimney, so open a window to try and increase the airflow. Sometimes turning on a kitchen or bathroom exhaust fan can help, but they could also be the cause of the backdraft depending on the air pressure inside your home. You may need to install a makeup air system (MUAS) or chimney fan.
Cleaning your own chimney can be risky, especially if it hasn't been done in a long time and you lack the proper tools, knowledge, and safety equipment. The process involves getting onto the roof and handling soot, which poses safety issues. Remember, inhaling chimney soot is a significant health risk. Wearing the proper respiratory equipment is required.
