There was some back and forth with scheduling the actual installation, but the person who quoted the project and the installer were great. This is just week 2 of having it installed, so I have to wait to see how the next big storm will be, but I am looking forward to testing this out!

The salesman worked with us on the cost. Disappointed with first installer. He came alone and would not go on top of the roof to complete the job. Second installer came out next day to finish. Then after first rain. all of the corners I asked leaked, A3rd installer had to come out!!

They did quality work that looks amazing. They cleaned up nearly everything left behind. A few small pieces of wood and two nails. Definitely will look to hire them again for a backyard patio/fire pit.

Fire Pit Installation questions, answered by experts

There are a few things you can look out for to ensure your chimney is safe to use. Check for the following issues:

Cracks or missing pieces in the masonry of the chimney
Creosote buildup in the chimney, which is a black, tar-like substance
Cracks, stains, or scorch marks in the firebox
Water stains in or around the fireplace
A broken or stuck damper

Regular HVAC filter changes, deep cleaning, and air quality monitoring help maintain a healthy environment.

Baking soda is an effective fire reduction method. However, flour and baking powder are very dangerous around flames. Flour is flammable and it can also conduct electricity. The combination can cause serious injury from electrical shock and worsen the situation by adding fuel to the fire. Baking powder is also not an option as it's also highly flammable.

Short circuits can cause fires, electrical burns, and electrocution, which can lead to serious injury or even death. That’s why it’s important to take preventative measures to prevent short circuits, like getting annual electrical maintenance and an electrical inspection every two to five years, depending on the age of your home.

To stop a smoke alarm from chirping, you must first determine what the device is alerting you to. If your battery is out or has been removed, simply change the battery and the chirping should stop. If it does not, try resetting the alarm, checking the breaker, or calling a professional to take a look.
