"Let me tell you, I had searched the internet for someone that would be able to convert our wood burning fireplace to a gas fireplace. I came upon Robertâ s company, read the reviews, and called him. I received a response from him right away and the rest is history. His work ethics along with his outstanding craft gave us the most beautiful fireplace insert in our family room. He also was able to hang our new 65â TV over the fireplace that is separated by the mantle. I highly recommend RPF Construction!"

"We had a great experience with this company! Ken called us immediately after we indicated that we were in need of help with our chimney, and was extremely good with communication the entire time. After learning that a bird was trapped in our wall behind the fireplace, we called dozens of companies, however, Michigan Chimneys was the only one that offered their assistance. They were prompt, professional and all around great guys. They were able to free the bird, fix our chimney caps, and clean the chimney for a reasonable price. We would recommend their services to anyone in need of repairs or maintenance! We will definitely hire Michigan Chimneys again in the future!"

Fireplaces questions, answered by experts

A well-constructed and regularly maintained brick chimney can last 50 to 100 years, potentially spanning multiple generations of homeowners. The exact lifespan depends on the quality of construction, materials, local environment, and maintenance. In contrast, a metal chimney typically lasts 15 to 20 years. While the main structure is durable, individual components have shorter lifespans and require more frequent replacement. For example, mortar may need repointing every 20 to 30 years, chimney crowns last 50 to 75 years, and liners can last anywhere from 15 to 50 years depending on the material (e.g., stainless steel vs. cast-in-place).

While a hot fire can help heat up and loosen tar within your chimney, making it a recommended step before using a creosote log, it will not burn off significant existing buildup on its own. Attempting to remove built-up creosote with a hot fire is dangerous and can cause a chimney fire. For safe and effective removal of caked-on creosote, the best approach is to hire a professional chimney sweep.

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.

Your chimney comes with dampers, which are similar to air vents. Dampers are metal plates that allow hot air and smoke to flow from the fireplace up your chimney and out of your home. When you close the damper, it prevents cool air from getting into your home. This is why you’ll want to check to make sure your damper is open before starting your fireplace and you want to ensure it’s closed after the fire goes out. You can open and close them via an external knob, pull chain, or lever. 

The best location for a wood stove depends on your home's layout and venting options. For optimal heat distribution, a central location on the ground floor, such as the living room, is often recommended. If you have an existing, functional chimney, installing the stove there can simplify the venting process. Alternatively, placing the stove near an outside wall can make it easier to route a new chimney through the roof. For safety, ensure no combustible materials are near the stove. Building codes typically require 20 to 36 inches of clearance between the stove and any side walls.
