"Great work and professionally executed. The fireplace works better and the area above the opening of the fireplace is sealed and the chimney and flu are drawing better. I intend to have the annual inspections completed by Smalling Masonry, along with a cleaning of the firebox and chimney."

Customers say: Terrific value

"Great experience with this crew for our fireplace replacement. They were hard workers from start to finish, and I was especially impressed with how well they matched the new brick to our existing exterior — you can barely tell where the old work ends and the new begins. Overall a really nice job and would recommend them to anyone in the area."

"Mr Dominguez and his assistant completed tuckpoint work in the stone around my home, repaired the concrete top of my chimney, and recaulked the flashing at the roof line, as well as tearing out and replacing a part of the stone which had fallen away from the house. The work was completed all in one day. They cleaned up all of their debris. He kept me informed throughout the project, sending me photos before, during and after. Very professional and friendly. I would highly recommend Dominguez Masonry."

"I had a totally positive experience working with Sanders and sons Masonry for my foundation brick repairs, and my chimney cap replacement. They also cut out brick and put two glass block panels in too. Tim was very professional and explained the project in a way I could easily understand. He kept me informed, and did top-notch work. I highly recommend Tim and his workers to anyone looking to fix or restore their brick or block walls, and we will definitely use them again when needed."

Fireplaces questions, answered by experts

Yes, it is possible to convert a wood-burning fireplace to gas. The average cost for this conversion is $3,000, with a typical range of $500 to $5,500. The project involves running a gas line, professionally cleaning the chimney, and installing gas logs.

Cost factors include the type of gas fireplace and whether a new gas line is needed. Installing a natural gas line can add $200 to $1,000 to the cost. Vented gas fireplaces are more expensive, averaging around $5,000, while ventless options are more cost-effective at about $1,500.

No, you should never leave a fireplace burning overnight or unattended during the day. While fireplaces are made to contain fires, fires can and do spread from fireplaces, so it’s crucial that you’re there to monitor them and put them out if needed. If you’re worried about putting out a fire before bed, stop feeding it fuel long before bedtime and actively put out the fire using your poker, a shovel, and some baking soda.

Wood is classified as either hardwood or softwood. For firewood, hardwoods are generally the best choice as they tend to burn longer, hotter, and produce less smoke than softwoods. Recommended hardwoods include oak, hickory, maple, cherry, ash, beech, birch, elm, and walnut. Oak is a particularly good option as it's widely available, slow-burning, and doesn't produce much smoke or sparks. Some woods, like oak, hickory, and cherry, also emit a pleasant scent. It is best to avoid softwoods such as eucalyptus, poplar, and willow, as they create a lot of smoke and have a high moisture content that makes them difficult to light and burn efficiently.

Gas fireplace inserts are considered the most efficient because they convert more of the fuel source—gas—into heat. They offer excellent heat output per the amount of fuel they use. While electric fireplace inserts are praised for their efficiency, keep in mind that they don’t offer as strong a heat output but may still be a great choice if you want an efficient option.

Although no heating appliance can be entirely risk-free, a fireplace insert is considered a safer alternative to a traditional open fireplace, thanks to their enclosed design. With a sealed combustion chamber, a fireplace insert effectively reduces the risk of sparks and embers escaping into the room, minimizing the chance of an accidental fire.

Additionally, an insert comes equipped with various safety features, such as tempered glass doors that create a barrier between the flames and the surrounding space. This enhances both safety and energy efficiency by preventing heat loss. As an added bonus, many inserts are designed to meet strict safety standards that ensure proper ventilation and combustion.
