"I was impressed with this company from The first time they came out to quote the job because I was immediately handed a folder that contained their license and proof of insurance. I accepted the bid and, while we got off to a few false starts, the work was completed in April 2025. The crew that came out was professional, efficient, and very respectful of my property. The chimney and tuck point repair work that they completed was professionally done and you could tell that they took great pride in Their work from the pictures that they showed me of the completed job.

We are able to provide you with high quality repairs, cleaning, and other services for your chimney, that are sure to last for years to come. If you are looking for a Chimney Contractor, Gutter Cleaning Service, or Chimney Services Company, then Detroit City Sweep, LLC is the smart choice. Call us at (313) 437-2254!"
"Detroit City Sweep came to two of my properties to repair a total of three fireplaces. They did a fine job repairing one gas fireplace and adding caps to my chimney. I had a second gas fireplace that they needed to order a part for. I had to call them half a dozen times to get them to order the part and come back to the house to install it. When they finally did, it turns out they ordered the wrong part. After multiple calls they came out a second time, and again, it was the wrong part. Three weeks passed and on the third visit they brought the wrong part again and said the correct part was going to cost me twice what they originally quoted. I would like to recommend Detroit City Sweep, but I just can't. "

"I have been trying for 2 years to get our fireplace fixed and could not find anyone to even come out and look at it. I saw an ad for Angi’s list and contacted them. They sent me 4 different companies that could do the work and, after checking the reviews, I selected RPF Construction. Robert contacted me immediately, came to the house, outlined everything he would do and gave me a price, which I agreed to. Robert and Tom came the next week with all of the parts that were needed. They started at 8:30 a.m and finished at 4:00 p.m. the same day. We have an airtight freestanding fireplace and they replaced all of the pipe, from the top of the fireplace, through the roof and all outside components. There was a leak in the roof that caused some rust and peeling paint on the firebox. They sanded it down and repainted it, where it stands, without getting paint on anything else. Even the silver screws they painted black. We are so happy with the excellent job that they did!!!"

Hi, I’m Mrs. Michael, and when you need something repaired, We wanna be your guy. Back when I was raising two babies, my husband and I started a plumbing company, an electrical company, AND a heating and air company. Mr. Michael is a genius with tools, but he did NOT enjoy running 3 big companies, so he asked me to do it. Turns out, I LOVE it!! I believe that if we make your problems disappear quick and easy, then when someone you know needs something repaired you’ll say: “I’ve got a guy! . . . Her name is Mrs. Michael.”
"Had this group update our electric panel and received great service from start to finish. Team took their time going over multiple options and we made the decision that made the most sense for our home. Thanks to everyone involved!"

Gas Fireplace Repair questions, answered by experts
How long limewash will last depends on the quality of the application and the porosity of the surface. For example, a limewash on brick will last five to seven years. If it's a home exterior application, exposure to specific weather conditions is also a factor. Limewash tends to develop a patina over time, and its natural look masks damage and imperfections well.
Costs depend on material type, labor, chimney requirements, and structural reinforcements.
If you already have the tools, like a miter saw, a stud finder, and a nail gun or hammer, installing shiplap costs$500 to $1,000 for supplies. You’ll also spend $200 to $2,200 for the cost of an electric fireplace if you decide to add one into your setup.
You can also hire a carpenter for $35 to $100 per hour, plus the cost of materials, to install shiplap around your fireplace. If you need help installing a fireplace before adding the shiplap, labor can cost $225 to $2,180 for fireplace installation costs.
The best color to paint a brick fireplace comes down to personal taste. However, neutral colors—like white or gray—will open the space and create a bright modern look, making them popular options. However, choosing a bold color can turn your fireplace into a feature piece that will be the talk of all family gatherings.
You may have some limitations when looking for materials and a design to reface your gas fireplace versus what’s available for a traditional wood-burning fireplace. Some gas fireplace surround ideas include stone, concrete, brick, tile, wood, steel, and plaster. However, you should check with the manufacturer of your gas fireplace model to determine if you have any limitations on what you can use.
