"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 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!"

"It's a pretty decent system, I think. They send you the pieces and you install them yourself, which is pretty easy. The only real problem I have is that one sensor is too far away from the panel...or there's some interference, and they haven't been able to fix that. It's an interior door, so it's not the end of the world, just a little annoying. Their customer service is pretty good though. Nice, smart customer service people on the other end, very polite and helpful."

"Kori and his crew rearranged their schedule and came to give us an estimate (after working a long day) because they knew we were in a hurry to get our house painted. We had just purchased a home and discovered the previous owners were heavy smokers. We wanted to get the painting done before we moved in and they were so accomodating! Kori worked with me every step of the way. He wanted to make sure we were happy, always checking with me to make sure I liked what they were doing. He made sure he understood what we wanted done and they got right to work. His crew was extremely friendly and professional. Kori had me check the work along the way to make sure I was happy with it. At one point, I didn't like the color of the paint, and Kori changed it, twice, and was very happy to do it. He wanted to make sure we were satisfied with the job. My husband and I kept adding on to the job also, which was probably frustrating to them.... but they never let on!! Kori's work ethic is exemplary and I would hire him to come back in a heartbeat. He was very careful to keep things covered, cleaned up afterwards, etc. He also does outside work and I know we will need work done in the spring - we will definitely call Kori and his crew to come back!!

"I was not thrilled because I thought they replaced the roof but they only replaced a portion of it.  When I called and questioned them about it, they said “I told you how many squares I did up there.” But I do not remember how many squares it was.  We had discussed that he was going to put new four down and seal holes, that it needed a new chimney covering and a trim at the end.  They did a nice job on that but then I knew it was a huge amount.  It was the same quote I had gotten from the guys that re-roofed the whole thing.  When I called them back to ask them, he said that they could do maintenance on that or they could get that ready for a new roof.  I was surprised by what they said because that was not a new roof instead they only replaced part of it.  Because of what happened, I will not recommend them."

Fireplaces questions, answered by experts

Some homes with wood-burning fireplaces don't have ash pits due to design choices, construction practices, or the age of the house. Many older abodes don't have them because ash pits weren't a standard feature when they were built. Additionally, in smaller homes or homes with less frequent fireplace use, builders might have opted to forgo an ash pit to reduce costs or simplify maintenance.

Most homeowners put a layer of compact sand or gravel at the bottom of their firepit, but you can also choose more decorative options like fire-resistant paving stones, bricks, or fire pit glass. Dirt by itself can even work, but other materials do a better job of spreading the heat around.

Chimney crowns are located above the final brick layer at the top of a chimney. It’s important to get regular chimney maintenance and inspection, because it is near impossible to spot chimney crown damage without getting on your roof.

Chimney caps may be installed by a few different professionals, including a chimney sweep or a mason that specializes in fireplaces and chimneys. A gas fireplace technician is the best person to install a chimney cap on a gas log fireplace vent to be sure the cap is appropriate for the application.

Gas-burning fireplaces need servicing to keep them in proper working order. You should call a fireplace pro to inspect and clean your gas-burning fireplace at least once per year or whenever problems arise. Servicing your gas-burning fireplace will help it function properly while also extending its lifespan. It’ll also ensure that your fireplace is operating safely.
