"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."

"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 needed a chimney chase/cap replaced. I had other quotes which were either twice the money or at least 20% more. What's more important is that Chimney Doctors contacted me quickly, Jeff came out and gave me an estimate the next day, which was of huge importance to me as I was selling my house. Once I gave the green light, the parts were fabricated and installed 3 business days later! Jeff was a pleasure to deal with, prompt, cordial, polite - an all-around professional. I highly recommend Chimney Doctors."

"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

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

Yes, removing a chimney is a difficult and major undertaking. Chimneys often provide structural support to a home, so if it's a load-bearing structure, you'll need to take extra precautions to maintain your home's integrity. A project of this complexity typically requires a structural engineer, a masonry contractor, and a demolition crew. The removal process may involve taking the chimney out brick by brick from inside the walls. The cost for chimney removal can range from $2,000 to $10,000, depending on the job's complexity. Due to the difficulty and cost, some homeowners opt to remove the fireplace and seal the chimney at the top and bottom, sometimes also removing the visible exterior portion at the roofline.

Signs that your chimney may need to be replaced include visible damage like cracks in the structure, bricks, or mortar, as well as crumbling or flaking mortar and loose bricks. Leaks, dampness, discoloration, and efflorescence (a white, stain-like substance on the bricks) are also key indicators of water damage, which can compromise the chimney's safety. Addressing these problems is essential, as a chimney in this condition may be at risk of collapsing and causing major damage to your home. A full replacement costs about $10,000 on average, but can range from $3,100 to $15,400.

The burn time of pellets in a pellet stove depends on factors such as stove size, heat setting, and pellet quality. A full hopper of pellets can last anywhere from 12 to 48 hours. Lower heat settings will extend burn times, while higher settings will reduce them. It's important to choose high-quality pellets because they burn more efficiently and produce less ash, maximizing the stove's burn time and overall performance. Regularly monitoring the pellet level ensures consistent heat output and optimal efficiency from your pellet stove.

There is no universal remote that will work for all gas fireplaces or electric models. That’s because different remotes are designed to work with specific fireplace wiring, so some remotes may only work for on/off functions, while others work with fireplaces that have extra settings, such as timers or programmable thermostats. If you need a new remote, ensure the replacement is compatible with your specific fireplace model.
