"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

Chimney sweeps perform three levels of inspections:
Level One: This is a basic annual inspection, often a visual inspection during cleaning, which is the most affordable.
Level Two: This stage is ideal when selling or buying a home as it involves an inspection of the attic and roof, which is moderately priced.
Level Three: This is a very thorough inspection that should take place after major storms or earthquakes, which is the most costly type of inspection.
Deciding when to replace your fireplace depends on its condition and your preferences. Replacements may be necessary if your fireplace shows extensive damage, safety issues, or inefficiency. Signs include deteriorating masonry, cracked firebox panels, or a faulty chimney. Aesthetic reasons, such as outdated design, can also drive replacement. Wanting something more sustainable and energy-efficient is another good reason to replace your old fireplace.
There is no universal remote that will work for all gas fireplaces or electric models. That’s because different remotes are designed to work with specific fireplace wiring, so some remotes may only work for on/off functions, while others work with fireplaces that have extra settings, such as timers or programmable thermostats. If you need a new remote, ensure the replacement is compatible with your specific fireplace model.
The size of your pizza oven will determine the number of bricks necessary to build it. So the bigger your pizza oven, the more fire bricks you’ll need to purchase. Keep in mind that fire bricks cost about $3each.
You should never block both the top and bottom of your chimney. Proper airflow is essential because the temperature inside the chimney will still fluctuate as your house warms and cools. Moisture can build up without ventilation, leading to dampness in your walls over time. Blocking the top prevents debris and animals from entering, but the chimney still needs air circulation to avoid condensation issues. Allowing the chimney to breathe maintains the health of your home and prevents long-term damage.
