"I was impressed with Chuck from Shamrock Chimney. He was realistic in his discussion and went thru various options from converting to a gas fireplace to wood inserts. He discussed the issues with the existing field stone face and converting to a two way fireplace. He certainly made me comfortable to consider Shamrock should the project move forward."
"We have Frontpoint at two houses. We had been looking for ways to cut our monthly expenses (Frontpoint is approx. $100 per month total), so I called them to find out what I could do. They informed me that I was under contract for another year, and that I cannot get out of the contract without an early termination fee that is equal to the cost of the service. I'm a little disappointed, because the upfront cost of the system was very expensive ($1,000+) for each house, so it seems odd that I would get sucked into this contract. Nevertheless, I forgot that I signed up for this with them. My calendar is marked for the day that my service ends, and I will be switching to a company that charges about half of what they do. They have OK customer service and are very responsive, but the wireless system had some issues with reception in my house due to a fireplace, and then they didn't want to work with me to get that resolved. They're OK, but I can't really recommend them."
Nick Sippl, owner of Nick's Tile and Stone, has been working with Stone and Ceramic Tile for over fifteen years. Though the company was started primarily a tile repair business, it is now a full line Tile, Stone, Barrier Free / Handicap, and Water Damage Restoration company.\nWe have seen many changes in the technology and products we use.\nIt's our goal to stay on top of these changes so you the customer can benefit by receiving a top quality installation, and a product that we know you will enjoy. \nOur goal is customer satisfaction. It's what the business is built on.\n\nJust a quick overview of our main specialties:\n\nCeramic Tile \nCeramic tile installation and repair is what the business was founded on in the early 1990��s. The main specialty was repair. We would take on jobs no one else wanted to. Such as leaking shower floors. We also found that many times a simple repair was all that was needed as opposed to an entire removal and reinstall. This also led to becoming a leader in Insurance repair.\nAlthough repair started the business, the majority of work is now installation.\n\nNatural and Cultured Stone installation \nBranching off into the Stone installation part of the business was a natural transition.\nWe put the same high quality expertise into a Stone installation of either Natural or Cultured stone. We can handle the entire job from frame up to the final stone set.\n\nBarrier Free / Handicap Accessibility \nBarrier free is a term that has been heard a lot lately, and will continue to grow as the "baby boom" generation gets older and will desire the convenience and beauty of a barrier free shower and bathing area. The one question you will hear most from us regarding Barrier Free is \n�You�re the customer, your needs come first. What do you want and need from this installation?�\nOur goal is to make you a satisfied and above all �Comfortable � customer regarding your Barrier Free installation. \n\nAt Nick�s Tile & Stone we will work hard and make sure that the job is done right. So feel free to give us a call today and we will come out to your house and work with you to find the right solution for all of your projects. And as always customer service and satisfaction is our number one priority.\n\nI love MIchigan. However, due to the rise in operating costs, we have resorted to charging a estimate / trip charge. In most instances, the charge will be $25.00. Unfortunately, we have some customers just "Price Shopping". This is refunded when your job is completed. \n\n\n\n\n\n

A hot fire alone will not remove significant creosote buildup and can be dangerous, as it risks causing a chimney fire. While the warmth from a fire can help loosen stuck tar, making treatments like creosote logs more effective, it is not a substitute for proper cleaning. For existing creosote, the safest and most effective method is to have your chimney professionally cleaned by a chimney sweep.
While hardwoods are the best woods to burn, a few types of woods should be avoided when burning. Wood that has not had time to season, or “green wood,” should be avoided. The extra water in the wood makes it smoke horribly, which is not a quality you want. Additionally, it’s best to avoid any wood that is manufactured or has been treated, including coated or sealed wood, painted wood, or pressure-treated wood. These woods have chemicals that will be released into your air when burned and can cause health problems.
Yes, masonry fireplaces require an adequately constructed chimney to vent smoke and gases.
Modern gas fireplaces are relatively efficient and don't burn excessive amounts of gas, especially compared to older models. A gas fireplace might use between 10,000 to 40,000 BTUs per hour; the total amount of gas used depends on the fireplace's size, heat output, and how often it's in use. To help keep your running costs down, consider using a thermostat and turning off the fireplace when not needed to minimize gas consumption
This will depend on the size of the pellet stove and how much of the house you’re heating, i.e. just one room or the entire house. Many pellet stoves use anywhere from 80 to 345 watts of electricity per hour. In terms of the pellets, a 40-pound bag can cost $5 to $9. A bag of pellets will burn for about 24 hours.
