"Absolutely outstanding.  If there were something higher than an A, they'd get it.  I have an old house, and the ash pit for our fireplace had not been emptied in many years--maybe never.  I had another highly rated Angie's List company look at it last year, and they told me they couldn't possibly clean out the ash pit without me spending a lot of money ($1500 or more) due to the heavy and wet state of the ash (old, leaky basement) and the need for extensive brick repairs and replacement of the ash pit door.  A Chimney USA did the whole thing for $380."

"Robert returned my original call the same day within an hour and came out to assess the problem later that very same day.  He took a walk around the entire house and pointed out several possible problems and suggested several ways to go about resolving the problems on my own and even suggested materials that could be used to do so.  He was very helpful in answering all of my questions and even pointed out a problem that I didn't even know existed on my fireplace chimney.  He set up a time to commence the work on repairing the crack in the masonry wall and arrived on time to start the work.  I was kept well informed of his progress on the job and he made sure that I was satisfied with the work that he had done before leaving and he made sure that everything was cleaned up.  I felt that his price was very reasonable and I also made arrangements for him to come back and repair the two cracks that I have in the foundation of the house.  I would highly recommend him to anyone needing any type of masonry work performed.  It is refreshing to find someone who is so conscientious and hard working.

Fireplaces questions, answered by experts

Depending on who’s doing the estimating, about 22,000 to 25,000 chimney fires happen each year in the United States. Given the fact that millions of Americans have fireplaces (and chimneys), that means chimney fires aren’t exactly common—but they’re not rare, either. Since they’re so dangerous, it’s important to take precautions to prevent them.

Both vented and ventless gas fireplaces have pros and cons, and the best choice depends on your needs and preferences. A ventless fireplace may be a good option if you do not have a chimney, but you should check local regulations as they are banned in some areas, such as California. On the other hand, if anyone in your household has allergies, asthma, or other respiratory sensitivities, a vented fireplace is a better choice for health and air quality.

Annual inspections, soot removal, and clean-burning fuel help maintain a safe and efficient chimney.

Yes, a chimney cap is an excellent idea for several reasons. It prevents debris, rain, or snow from entering your chimney, which can cause moisture damage or blockages. A cap with a mesh screen also keeps animals like birds, squirrels, and bats from nesting in your chimney—or worse, getting into your abode. Additionally, chimney caps help prevent downdrafts, which can push smoke and harmful gases back into your home. Lastly, by installing a chimney cap, you will improve safety and enhance the overall efficiency of your fireplace.

You should not use Windex or any other ammonia-based glass cleaners when cleaning the glass doors or glass front panel of a gas fireplace. Instead, remove the glass and lay it on a soft surface, like a drop cloth or towel. Then clean it using a specialty fireplace glass cleaner purchased at a hardware store or online. If the glass is relatively clean, you can get away with a vinegar and water solution, but tougher stains will require a specialized cleaner.
