Customers say: Quality work

"Very fast inspection. I wish they were able to recommend someone in the same line of work to do repairs. I did ask before the arrival if they knew anything about inserts but we didn?t get that far because the chimney needs repairs. I will recommend this company if you need a quick assessment. That?s as far as we got."

"Jake and his crew identified a couple problems that were not found by the adjuster or listed on the estimate of items to be repaired. They also took care of these additional items. They were very punctual arriving early in the am and worked in weather related adverse conditions to get the job done. Jake offered options and was very helpful in choosing the materials to use on our home.  He did an excellent job matching our siding that is over 10 years old with the new siding on the one side of the house.  We are very happy with the color of our new roof which Jake helped us select. We would definitely use Roofs and More for future work on our home.

Fireplaces questions, answered by experts

The damper, located just above the firebox, can open or close the chimney flue. The damper should remain closed unless there’s a fire burning in the fireplace. Closing the damper prevents energy loss through the chimney and cold air from seeping into the home during the winter. Opening the damper helps maintain airflow when there is a fire and prevents smoke and gases from venting into the house.

In addition to flashing, a roof cricket can help divert water around your chimney so that it drains properly off your roof. It’s shaped like a double triangle and is installed behind the chimney so that falling water spills evenly down each side. This helps prevent water from accumulating behind your chimney, which can increase water damage and the risk of leaks. 

The International Building Code (IBC) requires cricket installation if a chimney built after 2012 measures over 30 inches in width. Chimneys constructed before that date are typically grandfathered in and aren’t required to have crickets installed.

Both vented and ventless gas fireplaces have pros and cons, and the best choice depends on your needs and preferences. A ventless fireplace may be a good option if you do not have a chimney, but you should check local regulations as they are banned in some areas, such as California. On the other hand, if anyone in your household has allergies, asthma, or other respiratory sensitivities, a vented fireplace is a better choice for health and air quality.

The time required for a chimney inspection depends on the inspection level. A Level 1 inspection typically takes between 45 minutes and two hours, with an average of about an hour and a half. A Level 2 inspection usually takes less than two hours. A more in-depth Level 3 inspection can take up to five hours, or even multiple days if it requires removing materials. The total duration also depends on the chimney's size, condition, and how long it has been since its last inspection; chimneys with severe damage will require a longer inspection.

A chimney liner is held in place by a top plate and attached top clamp, both of which should be included in most chimney liner kits. The top plate seals to the top of the chimney flue and attaches directly to the liner. This not only holds the liner in place but supports its weight in the chimney.
