"I hired Doty to repair a vent pipe. The work was completed. I have asked several times for a detailed invoice of the work performed and equipment that was rented to complete the work and have yet to receive that invoice or even a call to discuss the issue. I believe that they overcharged me for a piece of equipment that they not even use to complete the work. They also damaged my yard while attempting to use this equipment and never once have I been contacted by a manger as I requested. Their customer service is terrible and I would not recommend them to anyone!"

My main goal for every job is to do excellent work, with efficiency, at an affordable rate. I know having a stranger come to your home to help you can be uncomfortable, so I can reassure you that I am a friendly person and I will communicate exactly what am doing in as much detail as you want. I understand every person and need is very different, so I will listen to what you need, carefully, and work with you to find a solution.

"Really well. Very competent and knew how to fix our problems, taking over getting the materials needed and doing the repairs and replacements in 1 day."

Wood Stove Inspection questions, answered by experts

Yes, you should seal an unused chimney. Even if it’s not in use, the structure is still susceptible to moisture damage, which can lead to problems like cracks, spalling, efflorescence, and damaged mortar joints. But you should also cap the chimney to prevent blockages while still allowing for air ventilation (which also prevents moisture damage). Also, continue to get an annual chimney inspection to prevent other issues with the structure.

No—though they are related. A flue is a pipe that runs the length of your chimney and carries smoke outside when a fire is burning. The damper is a metal plate that helps control airflow to the firebox, depending on whether it’s open or closed.

Your chimney comes with dampers, which are similar to air vents. Dampers are metal plates that allow hot air and smoke to flow from the fireplace up your chimney and out of your home. When you close the damper, it prevents cool air from getting into your home. This is why you’ll want to check to make sure your damper is open before starting your fireplace and you want to ensure it’s closed after the fire goes out. You can open and close them via an external knob, pull chain, or lever. 

Yes, you can operate an electric fireplace (and other types of fireplaces) without the remote. If you’ve misplaced the remote or are waiting for the replacement to arrive, you can still control the fireplace at the access panel. You can find the access panel near the firebox, typically located at the bottom or top of this section.

Fireplaces can last between 10 and 30 years on average. This life span heavily depends on the quality of the construction, the type of fireplace (wood-burning versus gas versus electric), the materials used, and how well you’ve maintained it. Most homeowners get around 20 years out of their fireplace before major issues start popping up.
