"We hired Josh to completely transform our fireplace area and couldn’t be happier with the results. From the initial inspection to the final install, everything was explained clearly and handled professionally. The stonework and stove setup came out absolutely beautiful and completely changed the feel of the room. Josh was clean, punctual, and took real pride in his work. The before and after difference is night and day. I’d highly recommend him to anyone looking for quality chimney or stove work done right."

"Gary's Chimney Service was great! I was selling a condo up north in the White Mountains and during the general home inspection the inspector said that one of the refractory panels needed to be replaced so of course the buyer requested replacement. I contacted Gary's Chimney through Homeadvisor and they happened to be in the area and inspected my repair request within hours of my call! In addition - their integrity became clearly evident because I requested they make the repair while they were there. But instead of doing a needless repair and charging me $250 - $300 just because I asked - they sent me a detailed email explaining that no replacement was needed and that the refractory panels were high quality and that the crack noted was hairline and not a safety issue. I presented the expert diagnosis to the buyer and they withdrew their request. It's nice to know there are still companies around that have integrity because they easily could have done a needless repair to make a few bucks and I never would have known the difference. I have 3 other condos up north and you can be sure I will be calling Gary's when I have fireplace. woodstove, or chimney work needs!"

"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."

"The workers and office staff were easy to talk to, well informed, courteous , and efficient. They performed a thorough inspection. Recommended and installed a stainless liner and cap for the furnace flue and a new damper on the fireplace flue. Their price was better than previous quotes and even set up a partial payment plan. I am very pleased with the work they did."

Fireplaces questions, answered by experts

Yes, in most cases, you can remove a fireplace while keeping the chimney. This process requires sealing the chimney at the bottom where it connected to the fireplace and capping it at the top. It is essential to consult a chimney professional or inspection specialist beforehand. They will need to determine if the chimney's structural integrity is sufficient to remain safely in place without the support of the fireplace.

Regular inspections, using dry wood, and installing chimney caps help maintain efficiency and safety.

One disadvantage of a wood furnace is that you need a constant supply of wood to run it. Even if you have a good amount of wood on your property (or have another way to get affordable wood), you’ll still need to chop it, store it, and re-fuel your furnace with it to keep your house heated. 

You should only use water to put out a fire in your fireplace in an emergency situation. Even then, it is better to use a fire extinguisher to put out a fire quickly. Make sure every room in your house that has a fireplace also has a fire extinguisher—and that everyone in your household knows how to use one.

There are fire codes for a fireplace mantel made of wood or other combustible material. The mantel must be mounted at least six inches away from the fireplace opening on all sides with a non-combustible material—like stone or brick—installed between the mantel and fireplace. Building codes and regulations will vary based on your location, so before beginning the project, research the requirements in your area.
