"We used this builder on the advice of another contractor. We are so disappointed. The simplest thing - putting composite decking down - was a disaster because they used the wrong screws (photo attached)! Our warranty is void now, but there's more! I was unable to upload all of the photos, but there is so much wrong I can't list it all here. The railings were put up wrong. The deck - even after three corrections - is still not straight to the house and so the steps are "crooked" to the patio. Because the composite boards have been reused three times now, we have holes with no screws (photo attached). He used 2x8s on the frame, but 2x6 joists - and when we asked where the joist hangers were - he added 2x4 hangers. On the screen porch roof we had to ask for gutters and when they were installed they were too short on both sides - so he stuck a piece of bent flashing under the shingles to "redirect" the rest of the water (photos attached). The entire project has been a nightmare and it's not over yet. Please do not EVER use this guy. I have no clue how he got a license.... and the best part? He put the WRONG license number on the contract!"

Fireplaces questions, answered by experts

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) says that chimneys and their associated elements like fireplaces, vents, or stoves should be cleaned at least once a year before the start of seasonal use. According to the Chimney Safety Institute of America, a chimney should be cleaned when there is 1/8 inch of soot buildup. If there’s more than that, creosote—a flammable byproduct of burning wood—can form and increase the risk of a chimney fire.

Like other kinds of masonry and brickwork, a properly installed chimney should have a lifespan that extends beyond multiple generations of homeowners. But there are parts of the chimney that will need to be replaced more frequently. 

  • Clay tile or cast-in-place liners should be replaced every 50 years.

  • Stainless steel liners will last an average of 15–20 years.

  • Mortar will require replacement every 25–30 years.

  • Chimney crowns have an average lifespan of 50–75 years.

Some disadvantages of a wood-burning stove include the heating time, which can take about an hour before a cold stove is warm enough to feel any heat, and fuel sourcing. Homeowners with wood stoves must chop or buy their firewood and store it properly to fuel the wood stove.

Redfin reported in 2021 that homes with fireplaces were listed on the market for around 13% more than the national median sale price, but this doesn’t mean that they actually sold for that much. While homebuyer demand reigns supreme, the actual ROI on a fireplace depends on various factors, including size, type, and material.

You may have some limitations when looking for materials and a design to reface your gas fireplace versus what’s available for a traditional wood-burning fireplace. Some gas fireplace surround ideas include stone, concrete, brick, tile, wood, steel, and plaster. However, you should check with the manufacturer of your gas fireplace model to determine if you have any limitations on what you can use.
