"They cleaned the chimney and we used the coupon successfully. Afterwards, I shined a flashlight up the chimney and could see and physically pull additional ash from the sides with a cloth in my hand. It was mostly clean, but a little attention to detail could have cleaned the lower end better. Also, they told us we have a safety issue with a crack in the floor. They took the fireplace apart on the spot, but didn't have the parts to fix it. The chimney sat unused for 3-4 weeks in winter as we waited for them to get the part. After that time and repeated calls with no scheduled install date in sight, we cancelled the repair and had them come back and put the fireplace back together."

"Excellent experience all around. The two-man crew did a fantastic job installing the new fireplace surround. They were professional, courteous, and respectful of my home. They took great care to keep everything tidy and cleaned up thoroughly before leaving. The craftsmanship on the new mantel and stone surround looks beautiful. I’m very happy with what I got for the price I paid—definitely worth every penny!"

"American Professional Chimney installed a gas fireplace that is both beautiful (looks like a real wood fireplace) and warm. They installed a gasline that was done a very professional way, burying the line underground. Stephen and his team did an impeccable job, clearly explaining the pros and cons of the many options. Super happy with the service."

"From start to finish I was very satisfied with everything Chimney.com did to fix my fireplace issues. I had so many challenging demands including having to do the inspection and maintenance in a week (since I am selling the condo) and having to find an outdated fireplace parts. From the first day, Tiffany from Chimney.com worked so hard to make sure that inspection is done in a couple of days. Once I was convinced that I need a new fireplace, Tiffany and Jimmy spent literally hours to find a compatible fireplace to existing outdated one. At every discussion with Tiffany, I felt I am dealing with a friend and outstanding professional expert and they sure made me feel like I am their only clients when I knew for sure that their are so busy with other clients. I really felt they work on a 24 hour schedule. Although they knew that I am under time constraints, they still offered a very competitive price when I asked them to replace my existing fireplace. Installation only took few hours with outstanding results. Our neighbors still can't believe the entire inspection and replacement took 4 days from start to finish. It was my pleasure sharing Chimney.com's contact information with my neighbors. Thank you so much Tiffany, Jimmy and all the Chimney.com staff. You sure know how to keep your clients smiling and relaxed throughout their challenging and stressful maintenance time. You are simply amazing."

Fireplace Cleaners questions, answered by experts

You should use an angled brush to first paint the mortar lines, then go in with a high-density roller to evenly paint the bricks one at a time. You can also use a flat paintbrush to paint individual bricks, but a roller is faster and easier to use thanks to its longer handle and wider surface area for coating the bricks. To finish, go in with the paint brush for edges or hard-to-reach areas.

Yes, it is essential to prime or seal a brick fireplace before painting. Brick is a porous and highly absorbent material, so without a primer, paint can seep into the surface, resulting in uneven coverage and allowing the natural brick color to show through. To avoid this, apply one or two coats of a masonry primer. The primer will seal the brick and provide a smooth, uniform layer for the paint to adhere to. Ensure the primer is completely dry before applying the topcoat of paint.

The main difference between limewash and German schmear is their core ingredient. Limewash is made from crushed limestone, while German schmear uses a mortar base. This affects their application, appearance, and longevity. German schmear involves applying a thin layer of mortar to brick or stone and then partially wiping it off. In contrast, limewash is a type of paint. German schmear is essentially permanent, lasting one to two decades with minimal maintenance, whereas limewash has a shorter lifespan of five to seven years. Cost-wise, German schmear is about $1 to $4 per square foot and is typically only available in white or gray.

The best color to paint a brick fireplace comes down to personal taste. However, neutral colors—like white or gray—will open the space and create a bright modern look, making them popular options. However, choosing a bold color can turn your fireplace into a feature piece that will be the talk of all family gatherings. 

Hard materials like glass, metal, and hardwood floors, washable fabrics, and undamaged electrical appliances can often be salvaged after a fire, although it depends on the extent of the damage. For washable fabrics, make sure to use a phosphate mix during the washing process to extract the smoke smell. There are a few things you should throw away after a fire, like canned foods and cosmetics, even if they don’t look like they’re damaged.
