"The job was done but it is very sloppy. There?s slurry and mortar all over the chimney and we are not confident it?s properly repaired. We have hired a different contractor to re-do the one fixed by Shamrock as well as the 2nd chimney that also needs repair. The tech from Shamrock was a nice guy he but didn?t do the work; his assistant did the work and its a mess."

I'm 23 years old, I have a daughter, my parents are ex-military so they were very strict about the definition of cleanliness, I have cleaned people's homes from where it looked like there was no hope of entering with a never ending stench all the way back to a beautiful smelling home that's presentable to anyone. Every time I clean someone's home they always compliment my services and always seem shocked at how amazing I do and I can accommodate to each and every household based off of what each household does and doesn't allow in their homes. For instance if a service requires that they don't want me to use any harsh chemical cleaners in their home (for instance bleach) I can obtain plant based alternative cleaners for that specific job. I'm also told I have a very open and warming personality and approach but I can't prove that unless I'm hired for the job. But I would love to help clean your home or even fully renew it together. Don't hesitate to reach out, I'll be happy to help!

"They did a very nice job. My fireplace looked like new. I had some trouble with the pilot light and now it works really well. They were very prompt. I have had them out since then to replace a chimney cap. I will use them again."

"My house was built in 1923 it has 2 fireplaces so the chimney
is quite large.
Last winter I really noticed a how badly it was deteriorating while I was
shoveling I kept finding big pieces of mortar in the driveway. Come Spring I
could see a great deal of the mortar was missing and some of the bricks were
loose and shifted from their original position. It also had had a huge old
antenna attached to it that I had tried in vain to remove myself.
 I saw the Big Deal for Arbor Brick Works
and after reading other reviews I purchased it.
I emailed Taylor and he responded immediately, I gave him my address and said
he would go by and take a look. Within a day Taylor called and said he emailed
a proposal with a picture of what he wanted to do.  I was stunned by the
picture I never thought a chimney could be beautiful.
Part of what he quoted (replace the cement chimney cap with a limestone one) was
not in my budget so we agreed to skip that part and set a start date. 
The next day Taylor called and said he’d thought about it and decided to give
me the limestone cap without any charge. He said he grew up down the street and
went to the same high school as my kids, I was from his home town and he
just wanted to do the best job he could for me.
 When he came to my house with the paper work he was very
professional, polite and personable.
Taylor  took the time to explained the how and why of everything that  would be done so that I completely
understood what that I was getting. He said all they would need was a water
source and electrical outlet and if I didn't have an accessible outlet no
problem he had a generator.
They did an amazing job, they arrived a little later than
expected due to weather conditions but did let me know their updated arrival time.
They started immediately and worked until dark finishing all of the repair
work. Taylor and Sean answered any questions I had and just worked,
nonstop they all seemed to know exactly what to do and just did it seamlessly.
Taylor said they would be back the next day to apply the weatherproofing and
finish their clean up.  When I pulled into my driveway after work the next
day the driveway was so clean and the flowerbed under the chimney was untouched.  
I wouldn't have known any work was done until I looked up and saw my amazing chimney
- best looking chimney on the street and an amazing experience!

Fireplaces questions, answered by experts

Yes, there are regulations on using wood stoves, particularly concerning emissions and installation standards. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) sets emission limits for wood stoves to ensure they burn cleaner and more efficiently. Additionally, local building codes may have specific requirements for installation and venting, so it's essential to check with local authorities before installing or upgrading your stove.

There are six main choices of fireplace inserts: wood-burning, gas, propane, pellet, electric, and coal. Coal fireplace inserts aren’t as popular as they once were because burning coal emits a lot of carbon monoxide. Any fireplace insert will require proper supervision, and it’s a good idea to install a carbon monoxide detector in the room for added safety.

The short answer is yes, but the longer answer is more complex. Unless the fireplace is ventless by design, you’ll need some type of exhaust pipe system to safely send fumes and other harmful byproducts out of the house. Even then, ventless fireplaces are not always permitted because they do keep the byproducts inside of your house. Ventless fireplaces are safest when installed in spaces that are themselves well-ventilated, like large rooms with lots of windows.

There are several ways to determine if your chimney or fireplace damper is open or closed. A simple method is to check for airflow by placing your hand near the fireplace opening; if you feel a draft or hear wind whistling, the damper is open. An open damper might also make the room feel cooler, similar to the outdoor temperature, or cause your HVAC system to work harder than usual. For a more definitive test, you can try a visual inspection, although it may be difficult to see. Alternatively, you can light a small piece of paper and observe the smoke; if it is drawn up the chimney, the damper is open. Always use the damper handle to adjust its position.

Well-seasoned hardwoods like oak, maple, hickory, and ash are the cleanest woods to burn in a fireplace. When properly dried, these woods have low moisture content, allowing them to burn hotter and produce less smoke, which minimizes creosote buildup. Ensure the wood is seasoned for at least six months for optimal burning.
