"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.
After tuckpointing is complete.

"We are so pleased to have use of our fireplace again without worrying anymore about smoke migrating to the basement fireplace. German assessed the situation and installed a liner, new damper and sealed the caps on both fireplaces. He also noticed an issue with our water heater flue and installed a new liner and improved the venting situation in the basement. All this, for less than others quoted for just the main fireplace! And done on time, with thorough clean up, and before the holidays too! You are making the right choice if you choose GPR."

"We woke up to a terrible stench coming out of our fireplace. We knew whatever it was wasn't going to be pretty. We needed help fast. Gem was the first company to answer our call. They sent out Vincent within hours, and he found the culprits-dead squirrels who had gotten trapped in the chimney. Vincent removed them and disinfected the fireplace. Then he inspected both of the chimneys on our 100+ year old house. He showed my husband the camera pics. We needed a new cap on the fireplace chimney and repairs on both chimneys. He came back and fixed everything a week later when the cap came back. Vincent gets 5 stars. I would use them again. The only issue I had was with GEM phone customer service. They had a problem (on their end, not ours) with one of the checks and tried to pressure me into using Zelle. I would have preferred putting it on a credit card, but they don't take them. Credit cards and checks give customers consumer protections."

Customers say: True professional

"Franco’s Fireplaces was a wonderful find. I needed my paver patio repaired where it had sunken-in and had several thick roots growing through the pavers. I was having a difficult time finding a contractor. I finally reached out to Angi and got a prompt response from Franco’s Fireplaces Inc. Not only did he offer a reasonable quote, Franco was able to begin immediately. In less than two days, his team transformed my patio. I am truly impressed with their workmanship. Based on my experience, I can understand why they had so many great reviews for their fireplace work and now I can recommend Franco’s Fireplaces for paver/ flatwork, too. This was my second experience using a contractor through Angi, and both experiences have been awesome."

Fireplaces questions, answered by experts

Like any other household appliance, electric fireplaces can wear out after about 10 to 20 years. With more frequent use, the parts will wear out quicker, and you may get just 7 to 10 years out of a well-loved electric fireplace. Fortunately, electric fireplaces come with a lower upfront installation cost compared to alternatives like gas, so you can install a replacement for less.

Homeowners insurance may cover chimney leaks, repairs, or replacement, but coverage depends on the cause of the damage. If the chimney is damaged by a sudden, covered peril like a lightning strike, storm, hail, fallen tree, or an unexpected fire, your policy is likely to cover the costs. However, insurance generally does not cover damage resulting from normal wear and tear, old age, or a lack of proper maintenance, such as failing to perform regular cleanings and inspections. If a fire or other damage is caused by a known issue you didn't address, the claim may be denied. Additionally, some policies may have specific exclusions for events like high winds or earthquakes.

Pellet stoves do require electricity to power their automated features, such as the pellet feeder, fans, and digital controls. However, their electricity consumption is relatively low compared to other household appliances. During a power outage, pellet stoves equipped with battery backup systems or manual ignition options can still operate, though fans and automatic feed mechanisms may not function. Have a backup heating plan in place for these situations, especially if you live in a region prone to severe weather events.

Your chimney needs a structurally sound chimney cap, protective lining, damper, chimney flashing, and brick and mortar to prevent water from goind down your chimney. A pro can help you identify where the issue is so that you can stop water from coming down the smoke shaft, through your damper, and into your home.

There are six main choices of fireplace inserts: wood-burning, gas, propane, pellet, electric, and coal. Coal fireplace inserts aren’t as popular as they once were because burning coal emits a lot of carbon monoxide. Any fireplace insert will require proper supervision, and it’s a good idea to install a carbon monoxide detector in the room for added safety.
