"Dereck and his crew did an excellent job on our fireplace inspection, so we hired him for a repair of our chimney. He found a gas leak in our basement while he was cleaning the fireplace soot collector. They did everything they said for a reasonable price and showed us before and after photos to demonstrate their efficiency. We highly recommend them. It’s great when an organization is so reliable and competent!"

"The chimney project went smoothly. The result of the initial work on the fireplace was less satisfying. Richard Olsen, the owner, agreed with me and had the work redone. He made sure that the end result was something that we both were happy with. I was impressed by his professionalism and the pride he took in the work done by his company. I will not hesitate to hire him again or to recommend him."
Before tuckpointing – note the cracked and missing mortar and stone.

"Wonderful service from Jorge and George! I wanted a new firepit and it now looks fabulous! Jorge even did a little drywall repair for me -- I am most appreciative! Wonderful customer service -- they were on time always, they let me know the whole process, and did a great job! Yes, I will be recommending them to my friends who need any kind of fireplace work done!"

If you suspect you have a chimney problem, contact a masonry contractor for an inspection. 

No, because they burn propane or natural gas, gas fireplaces do not generate ash like wood-burning fireplaces. However, gas fireplaces require maintenance, such as cleaning the glass doors, checking for debris in the burner or vents, and ensuring the logs or glass stones are in place. This maintenance ensures that the fireplace continues to operate efficiently and safely.

Yes, you can put a freestanding one in a corner if you’re tight on space. Because pellet stoves don’t get as hot as other types of wood stoves, there only needs to be 3 inches of clearance from the wall on each side. Placing it in a corner should not impact the ventilation—you’ll still need to follow safety precautions by not installing too close to a window. Typically, it’s 4 feet from a window or 18 inches if the stove uses an external air source for combustion. Always check the owner’s manual for specific instructions.

Modern wood-burning stoves are very effective, reaching around 80% efficiency. That’s because models built after 1988 are designed to meet standards set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to operate more efficiently and produce less air pollution. If you have an older wood stove, it may not be as efficient.

When it comes to noise levels, outdoor wood furnaces typically fall within a manageable range that's comparable to other standard heating systems. The noise generated by an outdoor wood furnace is primarily attributed to the operation of the fan and blower components responsible for circulating heated air throughout your home.

These fans and blowers are designed to minimize sound while effectively distributing warmth. While you might notice a subtle hum or airflow noise when they're in operation, it's generally not intrusive or disruptive to your daily activities.
