Not sure what changed in this business, but the person that came out seemed clueless, and felt several $500 parts had to be replaced in order to diagnose the issue. Of course, he could install a new furnace for $2800, and cut my gas bill in half... For doing nothing, he charged me $190, and I had a furnace that stopped working 5 mins after he left. We called him and he instructed us to test some thing over the phone (shouldn't he have done this while he was here???) and said we needed a $500 gas valve. Gave me the run around about when, etc., so I called someone else. They came out on an emergency call, CLEANED my furnace, ran through several start ups to make sure all was running well, and everything was good. They replaced NOTHING, just cleaned it and recommended a a new filter. All is still running fine, now over 24 hrs later! North Macomb is not what it used to be, and I would definitely recommend going elsewhere for any furnace needs. They are not knowledgeable, and just want to replace parts to cost you money!!! I saved myself by stopping payment on the check first thing this morning.

I didn't even have to pick up the phone to make appointment as I was promptly contacted by their very courteous staff (a great first impression) not more than a day later. The day of my appointment, I had written down the time block wrong (9a-1pm instead of 1p-5p) and when I contacted their office, I was once again pleasantly surprised by excellent customer service and they quickly set about reworking the schedule for later in the day. I expected the technician to be irritable due to the last minute schedule change but that wasn't the case. Dean (I think) had such a great attitude and clearly enjoys his job as he took a good deal of time assessing the vent situation as well as climbing on the roof to identify if uncapped chimney was actually being used for other vent purposes (it wasn't) and providing me with options for capping (very reasonable pricing). My vent cleaning was definitely not a simple task (remember, 10-years of built up lint = blockages in vent bends, etc.), however, Dean took the time to ensure the job was done properly. Clean as a whistle. A very good experience from start to finish. I will be using Dr. Sweep again for chimney cap and most likely conversion of wood burning fireplace to gas.

There's nothing worse than the A/C failing the first time it gets really hot. Monica replied quickly, and Don was out on time. We anticipated a big problem since this was a rental property and the previous renter had "fixed" the furnace on his own, which affected the A/C Don fixed it...

After being here all of 5 minutes they young repairman (Bill) diagnosed the repair needed (lid switch) and had it replaced within 15 minutes. He was accurate and fast. Very pleased with the service from Kearsley Appliance of Flint.

"They did repair the furnace and the chimney lining (which they'd put in about 8 years prior when they were known as Bob's Sheet Meta)l. I paid them $1065 for the repair and was grateful they could fix the problem. One week after they performed the work, my ceiling and chimney began leaking. I hired a construction company to find/repair the leak and the guy let me know that he found pieces of sheet metal on my roof and wondered why. I explained about the furnace job the week before. He also found that there was no seal between the flue and heating cap on the chimney top. He called Byron's and spoke with someone who authorized him to finish their work. I had to pay the construction company $750 to repair the damage caused by Byron's. I gave Byron ample opportunity to do the right thing (reimburse me the $750) and even offered to accept a credit instead. Byron refused to accept any accountability and instead was mad at the construction company for "throwing him under the bus". There are many good repair folks in and around Houghton, MI but sadly I've learned this is is not one of the reputable companies."

Gas Fireplace Repair questions, answered by experts
Yes, brick should be clean before staining to ensure the best results. Dirt, dust, mold, mildew, and other substances on the brick can prevent the stain from properly adhering to it. Thoroughly cleaning the brick allows the stain to penetrate and bond to the surface more effectively. Cleaning typically involves using a pressure washer or a stiff brush with mild detergent. However, stubborn residue may require a specialized masonry cleaner.
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.
Costs depend on material damage, labor, replacement parts, and whether additional structural work is required.
No, you can't apply limewash with a roller and expect good results. Limewash is as much a technique as it is a type of paint, and a freehand application with a brush is part of that technique. Hand brushing a large area can be tiring, but limewash goes on easily and only requires thin coats to be effective.
When comparing which is better between German schmear, whitewash, and limewash, your answer will depend on the look you're going for. German schmear is the best option for those who want a heavily distressed look for their brick without full coverage. Whitewash is best if you like the current brick color and want it to show through. Limewash paint is best for full coverage.
