"I called for a free estimate, Justin came promtly and inspected the chimey. He showed me pictures of the problems and spelled out all the options. I explained to him that my cellar has floode due the problems and was anxious to get the repairs done. Justin quoted a price that was fair and much lower then any other estimates. To my surprise he said that he could do the job that day. He kept sending me pictures as the work progressed so I knew exactlywhat he was doing. He was professional and honest about what needed to be done. I was more then pleased with him and the company. I highly recommend .Chimneys are us."

Factory Plaza is one of the largest manufacturers of kitchen cabinets in the Midwest. We make our own brand American Wood Cabinets. We are a leader in the granite, marble & quartz fabrication and installation industry. Factory Plaza creates immaculate kitchen countertops, islands, bars, bathroom vanities, fireplaces. We provide quality, service and value beyond compare. Factory Plaza has earned a very good reputation over years: A+ rating from BBB, Angie’s List Super Service Awards, Best of Houzz Awards, and over a thousand 5-star reviews across the web. Factory Plaza is a family-owned business headquartered in Bensenville, IL. Here, at Factory Plaza our customers are our neighbors, our friends, and our business partners.

"I am a repeat customer over last 6 years. I am disheartened by issues encountered with my recent countertop order (originally placed in June) from Factory Plaza and the subsequent handling by their employee/PM. I ordered a stone countertop for a 36-inch sink base cabinet, specifying sink and faucet cutouts and an industry-standard overhang. This was a very simple order. Here is a summary of the problems encountered and specifically attributable to the Project Manager: Sink Cutout Issue: I provided a sink template for the countertop cutout and was billed accordingly. Instructed to pick up the countertop, it lacked the sink cutout.  PM had not provided fabrication team with the sink template. Countertop was not ready and was sent back to fabrication. Faucet Cutout Issue: Advised to bring in the sink for an accurate cutout. Upon another pickup attempt, discovered that the faucet cutout was missing. Countertop sent back to fabrication. Overhang Issue: Advised to pick up the countertop, it was discovered that it was an inch short due to missing industry-standard overhang. These repeated errors indicate a severe lack of due diligence and attention to detail. Factory Plaza has been negligent and uncompromising and failed to accurately document and follow through with the specified requirements. I have previously had successful experiences with different Project Managers employed by Factory Plaza, including: - Full kitchen countertop fabrication and installation - Outdoor bar countertop fabrication and installation - Custom bathroom vanity and countertop fabrication and installation - Laundry room countertop fabrication with customer provided measurements (Same order request as in this formal complaint.) Issues with this particular project highlight a significant lapse in service quality, stemming from PM's inadequate management. These missteps have delayed the project and resulted in additional inconvenience and frustration."

Fireplaces questions, answered by experts

The time it takes for creosote to build up in a chimney can vary depending on how often you use your fireplace and the wood you burn. Creosote can start accumulating after just a few fires, especially if you burn unseasoned wood or allow fires to smolder. Regularly using the fireplace without proper maintenance can lead to significant creosote buildup within a few months. To prevent hazardous buildup, have your chimney inspected and cleaned at least once a year.

To burn garden waste, you can use a dug-out burn pit lined with stone or brick, a burn barrel, or a garden incinerator. If using a burn barrel, make sure it's made entirely of metal and properly equipped with screened vents and a metal top screen. Garden incinerators are designed for waste burning and should be operated according to the manufacturer's instructions.

The short answer is yes, but the longer answer is more complex. Unless the fireplace is ventless by design, you’ll need some type of exhaust pipe system to safely send fumes and other harmful byproducts out of the house. Even then, ventless fireplaces are not always permitted because they do keep the byproducts inside of your house. Ventless fireplaces are safest when installed in spaces that are themselves well-ventilated, like large rooms with lots of windows.

This will depend on the size of the pellet stove and how much of the house you’re heating, i.e. just one room or the entire house. Many pellet stoves use anywhere from 80 to 345 watts of electricity per hour. In terms of the pellets, a 40-pound bag can cost $5 to $9. A bag of pellets will burn for about 24 hours.

Knowing who to hire to install your fireplace is important when it comes to having a safe place to burn a fire in your home. The best person to contact for installing fireplaces is a mason or general contractor who has a National Fireplace Institute (NFI) specialist certification. If you’re installing wood paneling, then it’s a good idea to also find a pro who is Wood Energy Technology Transfer (WETT)-certified. 

Both of these certifications show that your pro is well-equipped to install fireplaces and inspect your home for the utmost safety.
