"Anthony and Brandon were excellent, extremely professional and knowledgeable! Anthony and Brandon repaired our chimney and installed a new damper and cap and beautiful new logs in under 2 hours! Both men were very friendly and answered all our questions. We couldn't be more excited about our new fireplace and cannot wait to show it off! We highly recommend A-1 Safety Chimney Service and Anthony and Brandon, they exceeded our expectations and we couldn't be happier!! Thank you Anthony and Brandon and A-1 Safety!!!"

"They were WONDERFUL! The upstairs chimney was an easy fix, it just needed the new damper and cleaning and tuckpointing of the inside bricks. They even spray painted them at no extra cost. The downstairs chimney presented a problem as the old flue had unexpected twists and turns and was really old and had not been well-kept (we just bought the place and it's 90+ years old.) However, they stuck to the original estimate price and made the fireplace like new! What is amazing is that although there was a lot of soot, dirt, grout and other messy stuff, they kept everything neat and clean and made sure when they left it was as if they had never been there. The price was a bit higher than other estimates, but I chose them because of other stellar reviews on Angie's List. It proved a great choice. They were timely and efficient and even came a week earlier than the estimated appointment date when they had a cancellation. I am extremely pleased and can't wait until the cold weather to enjoy a clean like-new fireplace. Overall a fantastic job!"

"I had Armando on my place, very professional guy. Did my chimney cleaning. It was never been cleaned since we bought the house. But the guy from GEM gave us an affordable deep cleaning. Very polite and professional. Always recommended for people in Minneapolis to get them for service."

Fireplace Cleaners questions, answered by experts

The best color to paint a brick fireplace comes down to personal taste. However, neutral colors—like white or gray—will open the space and create a bright modern look, making them popular options. However, choosing a bold color can turn your fireplace into a feature piece that will be the talk of all family gatherings. 

The main difference between limewash and German schmear is their core ingredient. Limewash is made from crushed limestone, while German schmear uses a mortar base. This affects their application, appearance, and longevity. German schmear involves applying a thin layer of mortar to brick or stone and then partially wiping it off. In contrast, limewash is a type of paint. German schmear is essentially permanent, lasting one to two decades with minimal maintenance, whereas limewash has a shorter lifespan of five to seven years. Cost-wise, German schmear is about $1 to $4 per square foot and is typically only available in white or gray.

You should use an angled brush to first paint the mortar lines, then go in with a high-density roller to evenly paint the bricks one at a time. You can also use a flat paintbrush to paint individual bricks, but a roller is faster and easier to use thanks to its longer handle and wider surface area for coating the bricks. To finish, go in with the paint brush for edges or hard-to-reach areas.

With a little ingenuity, an old fireplace insert can be transformed into a decorative centerpiece that infuses new life into any room. Consider placing LED lights or candles inside to create a captivating display that simulates the warm glow of a fire. Another option is to repurpose the insert as a charming bookshelf by adding rustic shelves within the firebox. For plant lovers, converting the fireplace insert into an indoor garden is a perfect way to bring nature indoors. You can also transform it into a stylish wine rack.

Costs depend on material type, labor, chimney requirements, and structural reinforcements.
