"Our chimney was in need of a new cap, tuck-pointing and a liner. Steve gave us good recommendations for how to proceed, including the need of a chimney fan to draw the smoke out of our chimney's existing narrow flue. (He provided the name of an experienced electrician to do the specialized wiring for the fan. That was a separate cost.) The work was done in a timely manner, everything was as it should be. There were two questions we had after the fact, and Steve was very quick to respond to our emails. The first was on the use of the fan controls (which we were doing backwards!), the second was several months later, on a very cold night when the fireplace started smoking - Steve informed us that sometimes fireplace dampers (the flap at the top of the chimney that opens and closes to let the smoke out) get frozen shut in super cold weather. He gave us instructions on how to get it to release, voilà, problem solved! The fireplace works very well now. We're very happy with the work done, and we would recommend Pratt's Chimney Service."

"Anthony and his partner inspected and cleaned our chimney. They were thorough, professional, and even advised us of exterior parts of the chimney that were potential cause for concern: the chimney caps, and flashing seal were in need of replacement and repair. If you need chimney work done, call Top Hat Chimney Service to get the help you need. Thank you!!"

"I had GEM Chimney & Duct complete a full chimney cleaning and safety inspection at my home on Hennepin Avenue in Minneapolis. They removed heavy creosote buildup, checked for blockages, and even handled some minor mortar repairs to make sure my chimney was safe and efficient. Their certified team came the same day, and it gave my family peace of mind just in time for the heating season."

"We were very impressed with Erik and Chimney Crafters. He did an excellent job and we would highly recommend Chimney Crafters for first class work at a great price. Our family room fireplace has never looked better. Most important Erik was very professional, respectful while at our home and performed quality work."

Chimney Sweep questions, answered by experts

It depends. For new ovens, it’s best to run a few empty cycles to prepare the oven for use and to keep any manufacturing byproducts from entering your food. But if your oven is smoking due to a few burnt pieces of old food, then it probably won’t hurt to eat it. If there’s a lot of smoke, then your food probably won’t taste good, even if it might not be harmful to consume.

Smoke can be tricky to remove from your home, especially after a fire. The best way to eliminate the smell is to open the windows to increase ventilation and air circulation in your house. Then, use white vinegar to wipe down walls, furniture, and floors. Try steam-cleaning carpet and other upholstered items to remove the smell of smoke.

Just about anything that can damage your roof can damage a solar panel. It’s common for panels to sustain damage from hail or falling branches. Critters can chew through the wires. Snow and heavy rainfall can cause additional wear, along with extreme temperatures, which can degrade or stress the individual components. Even the UV rays that create electricity slowly damage your panel over time.

Homeowners insurance does not cover DIY mistakes, so tread lightly if you plan to tackle your own home repairs or renovations. If you cause damage to your home while attempting repairs or renovations yourself, the cost of fixing the damage is often considered your responsibility. Most policies only cover damage caused by covered perils like fire, theft, or weather—not by homeowner errors.

In most cases, yes, a fire-damaged house can be repaired. The only exception would be if a house fire leads to major structural damage. In that case, it might be faster and more affordable to knock down the house and start from scratch. In most cases, though, repairs are possible with help from a professional.
