Customers say: Super punctual

"We decided to remove a set of old concrete steps leading to a back patio.  Once that job was finished by another contractor, we found to our surprise that there was a good size hole in the brick veneer behind where the steps used to be.  Not only did we need the hole plugged but we needed to match the bricks in our 40 year old home.
After interviewing several brick contractors, we settled on BA Klaene and Son.  Jeremy Klaene provided us with a reasonable quote and was able to secure an almost exact match to our existing bricks.  In addition, he is an excellent communicator and kept us in the loop during the entire process.  Once a date was scheduled for the repairs, his crews showed up on time and provided a very skilled and professional repair to our wall.  It's almost impossible to tell where the repair was made.  We are very pleased with everything the Klaene crew provided and will recommend them without equivocation.

"The workers and office staff were easy to talk to, well informed, courteous , and efficient. They performed a thorough inspection. Recommended and installed a stainless liner and cap for the furnace flue and a new damper on the fireplace flue. Their price was better than previous quotes and even set up a partial payment plan. I am very pleased with the work they did."

Fireplaces questions, answered by experts

A well-constructed and regularly maintained brick chimney can last 50 to 100 years, potentially spanning multiple generations of homeowners. The exact lifespan depends on the quality of construction, materials, local environment, and maintenance. In contrast, a metal chimney typically lasts 15 to 20 years. While the main structure is durable, individual components have shorter lifespans and require more frequent replacement. For example, mortar may need repointing every 20 to 30 years, chimney crowns last 50 to 75 years, and liners can last anywhere from 15 to 50 years depending on the material (e.g., stainless steel vs. cast-in-place).

Creosote control, maintaining cap mesh integrity, and swift repairs keep systems robust.

How big a fire pit should be depends on how many people you want to get around it on a regular basis, and how big your space is. The average fire pit size is between 36 and 44 inches. However, if you regularly host big gatherings and have the appropriate outdoor space, you can go as big as 72 inches.

While hardwoods are the best woods to burn, a few types of woods should be avoided when burning. Wood that has not had time to season, or “green wood,” should be avoided. The extra water in the wood makes it smoke horribly, which is not a quality you want. Additionally, it’s best to avoid any wood that is manufactured or has been treated, including coated or sealed wood, painted wood, or pressure-treated wood. These woods have chemicals that will be released into your air when burned and can cause health problems.

There isn’t a way to convert electric fireplaces easily or cheaply to gas. The process requires major renovations, as opposed to wood fireplaces, which are often already vented and have space for the gas-burning equipment. To convert an electric fireplace to gas, you’d need to remove your old fireplace and get a completely new install.
