Q: Do fireplace repair companies need to be licensed?

Q: Why is it important for buyers to ask when a chimney or fireplace was last inspected?

• <div><p>Even if a homebuyer has no intention of using the fireplace installed in the home they&rsquo;re thinking of buying, it&rsquo;s vital to know when the fireplace and chimney were last inspected. Aside from learning that it can operate properly, homebuyers will want to know that the structures themselves are sound and won&rsquo;t affect the integrity of the surrounding home.
