"I had them do a cleaning and inspection of my chimney and they found damages to the brickwork and the top of the chimney. They installed a new cap and their cost was so reasonable. All their work is guaranteed as well, which is reassuring. They were clean, efficient and courteous. I would highly recommend Handy Andy and in fact they are doing an estimate for my neighbor to whom I recommended them to."

"I had a great experience with Mcbriens Flue & Fire. From the initial call to the final sweep, their team was professional, knowledgeable, and courteous. They arrived on time, explained everything clearly, and left the area spotless after completing the job. It’s not easy to find companies that take this much pride in their work, but they really exceeded my expectations. Highly recommend them for anyone needing chimney cleaning, inspection, or repairs!"

"I was really worried about the condition of our chimney and didn?t want to keep putting it off. The mortar was in rough shape and the top of the chimney definitely needed attention. Everything was cleaned out, repaired properly, and finished with a new crown and cap so it?s finally protected from water and weather. The chimney looks solid again and I feel a lot better knowing it was done the right way. It?s a relief having this taken care of, and if someone I know ever needs chimney work, I?d feel comfortable pointing them in the same direction."

"I’m so happy I hired legacy chimney. They were extremely personable, and left my home exactly how they found it when they were finished with the job— We have young children, and that was definitely a concern but I would have never known they were here. Cannot recommend them enough!"

Chimney Sweep questions, answered by experts

In many cases, professionals can completely remove certain types of smoke damage from walls and ceilings, but it’s only possible if the damage is minor. For more extensive damage from major fires, you’ll likely need to replace the damaged materials entirely. Some items, like upholstered furniture, are much trickier to clean and might need to be replaced even if the smoke damage is minimal.

Call 911 immediately. If you have a fire extinguisher or fire blanket near the laundry room, you can attempt to extinguish the fire, but don’t open or touch the dryer. If you can’t put the fire out, evacuate yourself, your family, and your pets from the house, closing the laundry room door behind you. Turn off the electricity to your home via the outside fuse box, then wait for the fire department. After a dryer fire, have your home’s electrical system inspected to make sure there isn’t any damage.

In many cases, homeowners insurance covers smoke damage remediation, but coverage depends on the cause of the damage and the specifics of your policy. Typically, damage from a house fire, wildfire, or even a fire in a neighboring home is covered. However, damage from cigarette smoke is generally not covered.

Before filing a claim, review your policy to understand what is covered, such as restoration costs, replacement of damaged items, and temporary relocation. It's crucial to document all damage thoroughly, including to furniture and personal belongings. Contact your insurance provider promptly to start the claim process and get an evaluation before hiring professionals. Your insurer may also provide a list of approved smoke remediation companies to streamline the process.

Restoration involves assessing damage, cleaning, deodorizing, repairing structures, and replacing damaged items, following a detailed and systematic approach.

Burning a single palm tree stump, if you’re careful, is technically doable DIY. However, you should always take precautions to control the fire and do research if you’re burning multiple types of trees. 

Some trees, such as ornamental trees, black cherry, and some oak trees, release toxins into the air when burned that can be irritating to your lungs (or even dangerous) to breathe in.
