"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.
Regular fireplace servicing is vital for safety and efficiency. You must inspect and clean wood-burning fireplaces annually to remove creosote buildup and address potential issues. Gas fireplaces benefit from annual inspections to ensure proper functioning and safety. More frequent servicing may be necessary if you use your fireplace extensively or live in an area with harsh winters. Always consult a local professional to establish a suitable servicing schedule for your fireplace.
For fireplaces that need ventilation, a pipe system can do the trick and send dangerous byproducts out of your house. The actual pipe installation will depend on the type of fireplace because pipe systems are unique to specific fireplace types. For example, the twin wall pipe for a balanced flue fireplace can only be used for that type of fireplace.
To ensure the safety and longevity of your pre-fabricated fireplace, perform regular maintenance. This includes regular cleaning, checking the unit for cracks, and ensuring the venting and ventilation systems are clear and functioning properly. Additionally, scheduling professional inspections helps ensure safe operation.
Yes, it’s possible to install a wood-burning stove through the wall. The process is similar to venting the stove through the ceiling, but you’ll need to be careful of electrical wiring, plumbing, studs, and other potential obstructions in your walls. If you’re not comfortable with this type of work, call a professional who installs wood-burning stoves.
Chimneys should either be sealed or waterproofed, which is different from sealing off—closing at both ends—a chimney. Waterproofing and sealing are both crucial steps to take to prevent water damage and the chimney leaking inside the house. While waterproofing is more comprehensive, both help safeguard your chimney, extending its life span and preventing expensive repairs.
