"I had an excellent experience with McBrien Fire & Flue and would highly recommend them to anyone needing chimney work. My chimneys were in need of quite a bit of attention, including masonry repairs, cleaning, and new chimney caps. From beginning to end, the team at McBrien Fire & Flue was professional, kind, knowledgeable, reliable, and honest. They took the time to explain what needed to be done, answered my questions clearly, and kept me informed throughout the process. I never felt pressured or unsure about the work being recommended, and it was obvious that they genuinely cared about doing the job correctly. The quality of the finished work was excellent, and it gives us tremendous peace of mind knowing that the chimney has now been properly repaired, cleaned, and protected. It can be difficult to find contractors who combine excellent workmanship with honesty, reliability, and genuinely good customer service, but McBrien Fire & Flue certainly does. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!"

"They showed up and completed the job on schedule. It rained one day and instead of leaving they waited in their trucks for hours for the rain to stop. As a business owner myself I found them to be very professional. They cleaned the area up well and the new patio and restored fireplace looks amazing!"

Fireplaces questions, answered by experts

An annual inspection can ensure that a fireplace is in proper working order to avoid fire hazards and the release of carbon monoxide into the home. Not all fireplace issues, especially blockages, are easily visible from inside or outside the home, which is why a professional must conduct a thorough internal inspection of all of the fireplace and chimney components.

A hearth often looks like a tile or brick floor that juts out from and surrounds your fireplace. A hearth can be made of stone, brick, ceramic, or any other fireproof material. Brick offers a classic and traditional vibe, whereas a hearth made of marble or ceramic may lean more toward modern aesthetics. The most common depth of a hearth is 20 inches.

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.

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.

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.
