Not sure what changed in this business, but the person that came out seemed clueless, and felt several $500 parts had to be replaced in order to diagnose the issue. Of course, he could install a new furnace for $2800, and cut my gas bill in half... For doing nothing, he charged me $190, and I had a furnace that stopped working 5 mins after he left. We called him and he instructed us to test some thing over the phone (shouldn't he have done this while he was here???) and said we needed a $500 gas valve. Gave me the run around about when, etc., so I called someone else. They came out on an emergency call, CLEANED my furnace, ran through several start ups to make sure all was running well, and everything was good. They replaced NOTHING, just cleaned it and recommended a a new filter. All is still running fine, now over 24 hrs later! North Macomb is not what it used to be, and I would definitely recommend going elsewhere for any furnace needs. They are not knowledgeable, and just want to replace parts to cost you money!!! I saved myself by stopping payment on the check first thing this morning.

I was quoted to have a part changed by Tony's. He gave me a price,said he would have to order it. The next day Tony's office staff called asking if I wanted the part which had doubled from the original quote (she read the quote I received aloud which confirmed it), she told me she couldn't do...

There's nothing worse than the A/C failing the first time it gets really hot. Monica replied quickly, and Don was out on time. We anticipated a big problem since this was a rental property and the previous renter had "fixed" the furnace on his own, which affected the A/C Don fixed it...

After being here all of 5 minutes they young repairman (Bill) diagnosed the repair needed (lid switch) and had it replaced within 15 minutes. He was accurate and fast. Very pleased with the service from Kearsley Appliance of Flint.
"The whole process of quoting, sales presentation, finance arrangement, installation was simple, timely, professional, complete and painless. The price was very competitive, the installation was smooth and prompt, and the end product is thing of beauty. This review is from a homeowner who has had a couple of terrible furnace experiences in the past decade."

"They did repair the furnace and the chimney lining (which they'd put in about 8 years prior when they were known as Bob's Sheet Meta)l. I paid them $1065 for the repair and was grateful they could fix the problem. One week after they performed the work, my ceiling and chimney began leaking. I hired a construction company to find/repair the leak and the guy let me know that he found pieces of sheet metal on my roof and wondered why. I explained about the furnace job the week before. He also found that there was no seal between the flue and heating cap on the chimney top. He called Byron's and spoke with someone who authorized him to finish their work. I had to pay the construction company $750 to repair the damage caused by Byron's. I gave Byron ample opportunity to do the right thing (reimburse me the $750) and even offered to accept a credit instead. Byron refused to accept any accountability and instead was mad at the construction company for "throwing him under the bus". There are many good repair folks in and around Houghton, MI but sadly I've learned this is is not one of the reputable companies."

"We had a solid flue liner put in our chimney after a chimney fire. ? U.P. Chimney was very quick to respond, helped us to understand why good maintenance is important and they had the job done quickly. They have also cleaned out our dryer vents and discussed the importance of keeping them clean. Very satisfied with their services."

Gas Fireplace Repair questions, answered by experts
Costs depend on material damage, labor, replacement parts, and whether additional structural work is required.
Some homeowners compare German schmear versus limewash because they look similar, though they’re different techniques. German schmear involves a thin application of mortar to stone or brick, which is then partially wiped off the surface. German schmear is more affordable ($1 to $4 per square foot), and it lasts one or two decades with minimal maintenance. As a downside, it only comes in white or gray.
If you’re deciding between limewash versus whitewash, know that both have a chalky matte appearance. Limewash is made from lime, water, and sometimes pigment, while whitewash consists of lime, water, white chalk, and binders (though you can get a similar look with watered-down white paint). Whitewash has fewer options for color customization, and it sits on surfaces instead of being absorbed into them, which can trap moisture. Whitewashing costs less—about $1.40 to $4.20 per square foot.
Limewash and whitewash do not harm surfaces if you apply them correctly. Use on non-suitable surfaces can cause issues. For instance, applying limewash or whitewash to surfaces with existing sealants or incompatible materials may lead to poor adhesion or flaking. Also, harsh cleaning agents on limewashed or whitewashed surfaces can damage the finish. Proper preparation, application, and maintenance ensure that limewash and whitewash do not harm surfaces.
Yes, brick should be clean before staining to ensure the best results. Dirt, dust, mold, mildew, and other substances on the brick can prevent the stain from properly adhering to it. Thoroughly cleaning the brick allows the stain to penetrate and bond to the surface more effectively. Cleaning typically involves using a pressure washer or a stiff brush with mild detergent. However, stubborn residue may require a specialized masonry cleaner.
