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.

Fireplaces questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can operate an electric fireplace (and other types of fireplaces) without the remote. If you’ve misplaced the remote or are waiting for the replacement to arrive, you can still control the fireplace at the access panel. You can find the access panel near the firebox, typically located at the bottom or top of this section.

You should get your chimney cleaned around once per year, but you might want to opt for bi-annual cleanings if you use your fireplace often. Remember, your boiler likely vents into your chimney as well, so cleaning is required even if you don’t use your fireplace. It’s a good idea to clean your chimney during the summer so that it’s ready to use when you want a worry-free cozy fire on that first crisp autumn night of the season.

A fireplace hearth is a fireproof flooring material that extends out from the base of the fireplace and into the room. Hearths can be made of brick, ceramic, marble, limestone, and more. A hearth serves the purpose of decreasing the fire risk in the area directly around the fireplace. If flying embers hit carpet or wood, they’ll spark and create a fire. But if they hit something like tile or granite, they’ll simply go out.

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

There are a handful of things you can look out for that indicate fireplace repair is necessary in your home:

See or smell smoke in your home during use.
You smell gas or unusual odors coming from your fireplace.
The fireplace is visibly damaged or crumbling.
The igniter won’t light.
You notice shaling (pieces of chimney lining) building up in your fireplace.
Any portion of the fireplace is rusted.
You notice efflorescence (white stains) on the brick.

If any of these signs emerge or you suspect that you have an issue, call in a fireplace repair professional immediately.
