"We have a large, double-sided fireplace that created so much smoke in the house it was pretty much unuseable... previous owner had also installed doors that were too small for the openings, so even more smoke escaping around them... but we loved the doors (and you can't get them made like that anymore) and wanted to reuse them... German and his crew came out, listened to my needs (remove existing doors, narrow openinga on both sides by one course of additional brick, and reinstall doors, properly sealing them) and took detailed pictures of the existing brick to match it... the estimate was very reasonable, and the work was completed promptly... the bricks they found matched existing beautifully, and they got the grout perfect as well... they checked in repeatedly to make sure we were happy with the colors/etc... While here, they also inspected/cleaned fireplace and chimney, and suggested we parge the smokebox inside (for safety and for better draft)... additional quote provided on the spot, and additional work completed with the original work... they also water-sealed the exterior chimney bricks, and resealed the chimney cap... Tested fireplace after waiting for all mortar to cure, no more smoke in house!! Cannot recommend these guys enough!!"

"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."

"Professional, trustworthy, friendly, knowledgeable, efficient. Fernando and Jesus gave us a call 30 minutes before arriving. Examined our fireplace and explained what they discovered and gave us several solution options . They swept the chimney, cleaned the fire box, and examined the chimney top. They caulked around the cap. Great service ! 5 stars!!"

Fireplaces FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, gas fireplaces can increase your home's value by as much as 12%. They are a sought-after feature because they burn cleaner, provide more warmth, and are more convenient than wood-burning fireplaces. Modern gas inserts can also provide the traditional aesthetic appeal that buyers like. To ensure the highest return on investment, perform regular maintenance and schedule annual professional inspections.

A sneaky but important element to how long your new fireplace runs is choosing the right burner size. Avoid choosing a bioethanol fireplace with a small burner (less than two gallons) and opt for one that holds between two to four gallons for a longer burn time or else you’ll be stuck frequently refilling your fireplace.

The height of the chimney for your outdoor fireplace depends on where the fireplace is located. Ideally, the chimney should be 2 to 3 feet higher than surrounding structures; this allows smoke to ventilate properly without endangering anyone or anything.

Note: Your municipality may have strict requirements regarding chimney heights, so it’s always a good idea to check local building codes.

Most homeowners put a layer of compact sand or gravel at the bottom of their firepit, but you can also choose more decorative options like fire-resistant paving stones, bricks, or fire pit glass. Dirt by itself can even work, but other materials do a better job of spreading the heat around.

Professionals sweep chimneys and clear obstructions, using specialized rods and cameras to ensure safety and condition monitoring.
