"Corey cleaned our fireplace and chimney today. He did an excellent job. He was prompt, thorough, professional and very clean. He took great effort to contain the soot to keep our home clean. He is the best chimney cleaner we ever had and would I highly recommend him."

"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."

"Paul showed up about 2 hrs. a head of schedule. He called but I had not gotten to my voicemail yet. I didn't mind him showing up early but I could see how this might bother other people if they didn't give him the ok to come early. He had an apprentice with him (name I cannot remember). I showed him what was needed. We sat down and he went over that he would be giving my house an electric "checkup" first then within that, come up with an estimate for the actual work I called them for. The thing that bothered me is that him and the apprentice, after walking around the house for the electrical checkup, both sat at my kitchen table as I was in my office within ear shot of them. I heard them random talking (not talking about the actual work because there was laughing) for about 20-30 minutes, like they were at their own home visiting. Finally after I walked into the kitchen a couple times, Paul came and we did a walk through on what he found in the electrical checkup and the actual estimate for the work I originally called them out for. Then we sat down and he showed me the 3 estimates he came up with. For the electrical checkup, $11,700+, then another estimate of $4800+ (partial work that was listed for the $11,700 estimate) then the actual estimate for what I wanted done $198. Not to hard of which one I went with. I said the last estimate and they did the work right away. Now the next thing has nothing to do with the work done or the workers themselves, but when it came to pay them I had to roll my eyes at the company, Boy's Airtech, and how the try and make it look like you are getting a deal when you are not. Now get this, I am a Comfort Club Member so with that I get a 10% discount on work, plus if I have work done, I don't have to pay the service call of $79 (but understand, I pay $20/month for the membership). So Paul went over the bill with me and with the 10% discount I got $19.80 cents off of the bill......but wait, there is a charge called a TFS charge on the bill that is $14.75. I asked Paul what that was and he really wasn't sure, he indicated it was like a fuel charge or something like that. I looked all over the invoice paper, back and front to see if they say what the TFS charge was, there was none. Soooo...that "10%" discount now just became only a $5.05 discount. The total work they did was disconnect the electrical cord from the fireplace insert, thread it through the hole in the fireplace that was already there from the insert that was removed already and reconnect the cord to the fireplace insert. About 20-25 minutes of work. Even though I checked that I would rehire them again....I wanted to leave that blank but it would not let me so I just checked yes because I am a member, but I am really not sure."

Routine fireplace service involves an annual pre-season sweeping to remove dangerous creosote buildup from burning local wood. Spring maintenance requires inspecting for freeze-thaw damage, checking the chimney cap for wildlife entry, and examining the flashing after ice dam seasons. As needed in Brainerd, professionals perform tuckpointing to repair mortar joints, apply vapor-permeable waterproofing, and seal deteriorating chimney crowns against the harsh MN climate.

Helpful?

A major mistake is skipping fireplace service on seasonal MN cabin properties, which allows moisture damage and wildlife nesting to go unnoticed. Homeowners also frequently burn unseasoned local wood, dramatically accelerating hazardous creosote buildup. Additionally, attempting DIY masonry repairs with standard construction mortar causes premature failure in the Brainerd freeze-thaw climate. Always hire a certified professional and secure the proper permits for structural work.

Helpful?

The local climate heavily impacts the success of fireplace service. Brainerd experiences extreme freeze-thaw cycles, heavy snow, and high summer humidity, which place significant stress on masonry and metal components. Proper seasonal timing is also critical. Schedule masonry work during the short spring or fall shoulder seasons before freezing temperatures return. Finally, ensure your project complies with the Minnesota State Building Code to guarantee long-lasting, safe results for your home.

Helpful?

In the short term, fireplace service ensures your system provides reliable supplemental heat during harsh Brainerd winters. A clean system also prevents dangerous carbon monoxide backdrafting and reduces fire risks. Over the long term, properly sealed masonry resists destructive freeze-thaw cycles, extending the life of your chimney by decades. Regular maintenance also boosts home resale value in the MN lakes market and prevents catastrophic structural failures.

Helpful?

Schedule fireplace service annually before the heating season begins. You also need an immediate inspection if you notice smoke backdrafting into your tightly insulated MN home. Watch for visible white staining on the exterior masonry, which indicates water penetration. After a severe Brainerd winter or heavy ice dam event, inspect the exterior for cracking mortar or damaged chimney caps to catch freeze-thaw damage early.
