The chimney from the wood furnace in the basement was absolutely blocked. The question was - could he fix it with without tearing off the stone from the fireplace in the living room on the first floor?
Work: When he came to work on the chimney which went to a wood furnace in the basement, he first checked the second chimney which went to a first-floor wood burning unit. It was a good thing he did because that flue had cracked over the winter. So the job became more tricky. At that point he had to figure out how to break out both flues, then put one kind of pipe (zero clearance) down one chimney, and another kind (flexible steel) down other chimney. And, he needed to figure how to do it working via an attic access rather than going into the chimney from the living room and removing the face stone on the fireplace and then replacing it. When he ran into problems not of his own making (the first flexible steel liner he brought out was defective), he made sure that the next one he brought out was in prime shape Time and again he had to think “outside the box.” Thankfully he could do that. I would not hesitate to recommend him. He truly seemed to care about his customers. In addition, his helper was considerate, polite, and helpful."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/mi/grand-rapids/the-chimney-specialist-llc-reviews-6170299.htm"},"position":9},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"Home & Leisure Lifestyles, LLC","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"MI","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Angela C."},"reviewBody":"We have been using Home and Leisure Lifestyles for over 8 years now.

When they come and clean the stove and chimney they are very meticulous and clean every little nook and cranny. The very first time we had them come out we just couldn't believe how detailed they were in cleaning. I didn't know there were so many pieces to my woodstove that would come out and need cleaned. They utilize protective throws to keep the area indoors clean when they maintain the woodstove inside. They automatically set us up with an annual appointment and contact us a couple of weeks prior to see if that date is fine or needs to be rescheduled.
