"Excellent job! He did an excellent job on the chimney and fireplace. Neat work, cleaned the chimney from top to bottom and took care of the fireplace as well."
"The workers and office staff were easy to talk to, well informed, courteous , and efficient. They performed a thorough inspection. Recommended and installed a stainless liner and cap for the furnace flue and a new damper on the fireplace flue. Their price was better than previous quotes and even set up a partial payment plan. I am very pleased with the work they did."

"I called on Thursday, he gave estimate on Friday, started Monday and finished on Tuesday. Wow. We have a fireplace in our family room that had a wood burning stove installed in it. We wanted to restore it to a full fire place. The original opening was 42" wide X 42" high. We wanted it lowered to 32" in order to accept a standard set of glass doors and so that we could lower the mantel and install a flat panel TV above it. The original damper for the fireplace had been removed and we need a new one installed. I had other contractors provide bids, and we had trouble finding someone that would do the work we wanted in a timely manner. John came out, listened to what we wanted, inspected the fireplace, went on the roof and inspected the chimmney,( the only one that did), took measurements of everything, and gave a bid that was competetive with everyone elses. He recommended we put in a steel damper versus a chimney cap type and explained why and we decided to go with his recommendation. Note: that this is considerably more labor intensive and expensive, but I'll never have to worry about climbing on my roof to fix a sticking damper and Johns price was less than some we recieved for just installing the cap. John and his assistant were here with the new damper bright and early Monday morning. They were very polite and respectful. They needed to cut into the fire wall to properly install the new damper. When they did they discovered another wall of concrete brick behind it which wouldn't allow the damper to fit in properly. John traveled quite some distance to find a damper that would fit in the confined space. He showed up the next morning with the new part installed it and finished the remaining work by that afternoon. I very carefully inspected his work and found it flawless. The true mark of any contractor is what they do when things don't go according to plan. John was outstanding. He completed what he said he would, when he said he'd to it (original estimate was 1-2 days) and at the price he quoted. He used nothing but the highest quality materials, was on time, dependable and trustworthy. Don't let his quiet, humble demeanor mislead you John is a high skilled craftsman and a very dependable contractor.

Because of the potential danger associated with incorrectly capping the gas line that serves the gas fireplace, many people will choose to hire a professional to do the work. Some homeowners may choose to hire a pro to only handle the gas line for them. They then may attempt to remove the actual insert on their own, which is a challenging—but not impossible—DIY project.
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.
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.
There isn’t a way to convert electric fireplaces easily or cheaply to gas. The process requires major renovations, as opposed to wood fireplaces, which are often already vented and have space for the gas-burning equipment. To convert an electric fireplace to gas, you’d need to remove your old fireplace and get a completely new install.
Not every type of flooring is well suited to a wood stove. However, ceramic or stone tiles are good choices since they are durable, heat-resistant, and easy to clean. Softer flooring options, like carpet, could be damaged by the heat produced by a wood stove—or even create a fire hazard.
