"They did a very quality job. They listened to what my wife wanted and it turned just the way she wanted. We were extremely happy with everything. I had a mix of brick and stone and everything turned out real nice."

We assemble furniture, exercise equipment, swing sets, & so much more! We can do change outs for new doorknobs, garbage disposals, light fixtures, fans, faucets, toilets, & more. Honey do's that you don't want to do yourself. \n\nI have been in business since 2019. But I have over 25+ years of assembling things. I was let go doing the massive layoff from Baker Hughes in 2015. I enjoyed assembling things, working with my hands. I decided to go into business for myself. \n\nOur small business only consists of my wife & I. I am from the Lafayette area. We enjoy meeting & helping those in need!\n\nWe have had many types of customers. From businesses around the Acadiana area, to single parents that don't have the time, to families that just have way too many things to do, to those that can't figure out how to read the crazy instructions! \n\nWe were ranked #1 on Nextdoor for the Lafayette area in assembly/handyman.

"They contacted me right away. Said that they were licensed and certified and that the drivers would have copies of these certificates. They did not have the certificates on them. So I am not sure if they are licensed and certified. They said they could take care of any problem that they found at this appointment. Our fireplace was full of wasp and they were telling us stories of other jobs that had a bunch of wasp, but they did not have any wasp spray. They had to use the 2 cans that I had. When cleaning out the fireplace, they did not even have a bucket to put the ashes in. We needed a new cleanout door, but they did not have any. They did not even clean out the ash from this area. They could not show us any photos or videos of the before or after cleaning"

Fireplaces questions, answered by experts

A fireplace's lifespan varies significantly depending on its type, the quality of construction, the materials used, and how well it is maintained. On average, you can expect a fireplace to last between 10 and 30 years, with many homeowners experiencing major issues after about 20 years.

Here's a breakdown by type:

  • Gas Inserts: Typically last 10 to 25 years with proper maintenance.

  • Electric Fireplaces: Have a lifespan of up to 20 years.

  • Traditional Brick Fireplaces: Can last for centuries, but require ongoing maintenance and repairs, such as tuckpointing.

Soapstone wood stoves hold onto heat the longest, which means you can burn less fuel and enjoy the warmth for longer. Additionally, catalytic wood stoves include a catalytic combustor that can reduce emissions and create a cleaner burn no matter what the stove is made of. Of course, the most efficient wood stoves also tend to be costlier up front—but they can still save you money in the long run.

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).

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 answer can vary widely based on a home's age and design. As with any type of remodeling project, assume that every structure is load-bearing until confirming otherwise with a structural engineer. Almost all modern homes have chimneys that are fully independent from the rest of the home's framing. As a result, they don't bear any load beyond their own weight. However, many historic homes built prior to the 1900s contain load-bearing chimneys that tie into the surrounding roof and floor joists. If possible, use a home's blueprints or look for chimney connections that indicate load-bearing qualities to get your answer.
