"Very well, it was a complicated installation with the existing fireplace having to be cut out with a torch and with both natural gas and electric lines run to the fireplace. Everything got done on time and looks exactly as advertised despite the additional subcontractors required to do the job."

"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."

"Asbestos Abatement came to my home and contained asbestos that we had in our boiler room. From the start I requested a proposal with Kim and she was very professional and helpful. The Owner Richard came out to do the proposal and was very knowledgeable about the abatement process and other Energy saving resources. This was when I knew I was in very good hands. The guys showed up the very next day and went to work on containment. I am very proud to have worked with Asbestos Abatement Associates from start to finish. I highly recommend."

"We had a great experience with Justin and his crew. Initially we contacted him to replace some 65yr old windows, and he was the only contractor to bring to our attention that we had hail damage on the window wraps, siding, gutters, and roof. His experience really helped us thru the insurance claim process and it ended up being a huge cost savings for us. We were so impressed with his customer service, we decided to have him convert our 1-season porch into a 3-season porch, install tile flooring, replace some doors, and paint the interior and exterior of our home. He listened to our ideas, gave us options and suggestions, and helped create solutions for all of the projects. He's like a fiduciary for home improvement and we relied on his expertise to make some great choices to improve our home."

"*ORIGINAL POST* Overall we were pleased with the work and the workmen. The removal of the old electrical post in front was a nasty job and was probably more time-consuming than they anticipated. The addition of the exterior outlets was easily accomodated and they spent the time to get them in exactly the right place, which was appreciated. We were especially pleased with the porch re-screening - it's tight and hardly seems to be there now. Our only negative was that some of the painting was just a bit sloppy. The days they were out were very, very hot but they got everything done in a timely manner.

*FOLLOW UP* After about 10-11 months we noticed that the screen on the porch was coming loose, allowing bugs in. We started to call them and they stated that they would get us on the schedule to have someone come out and look at it. This happened several times but we never saw a repair person come out, nor did they call us back. I change my rating to a huge failure - an F - due to the lack of responsiveness, the poor quality of the work and the poor customer service."

"Before making bid, inspected roof and pointed out damage to chimney.  Took pictures of chimney so I didn't have to climb roof.  Bid included what materials they would use, what services they would provide, and samples of the roofing and colors.  The house has two dormers in front, and other odd angles and pitch.  The owner came all 2 1/2 days it took to finish the job.  Used 5 workmen who were pleasant, professional, very good at their jobs.  And cleaned up each day.  I was very pleased with the finished product.  I  go 4 bids, Greene's price was comparable to the others and they  provided more services than the others.  I highly recommend them.

Fireplaces questions, answered by experts

The time it takes for creosote to build up in a chimney can vary depending on how often you use your fireplace and the wood you burn. Creosote can start accumulating after just a few fires, especially if you burn unseasoned wood or allow fires to smolder. Regularly using the fireplace without proper maintenance can lead to significant creosote buildup within a few months. To prevent hazardous buildup, have your chimney inspected and cleaned at least once a year.

Knowing who to hire to install your fireplace is important when it comes to having a safe place to burn a fire in your home. The best person to contact for installing fireplaces is a mason or general contractor who has a National Fireplace Institute (NFI) specialist certification. If you’re installing wood paneling, then it’s a good idea to also find a pro who is Wood Energy Technology Transfer (WETT)-certified. 

Both of these certifications show that your pro is well-equipped to install fireplaces and inspect your home for the utmost safety.

There are a few things you can look out for to ensure your chimney is safe to use. Check for the following issues:

  • Cracks or missing pieces in the masonry of the chimney

  • Creosote buildup in the chimney, which is a black, tar-like substance

  • Cracks, stains, or scorch marks in the firebox

  • Water stains in or around the fireplace

  • A broken or stuck damper

There are a handful of things you can look out for that indicate fireplace repair is necessary in your home:

  • See or smell smoke in your home during use.

  • You smell gas or unusual odors coming from your fireplace.

  • The fireplace is visibly damaged or crumbling.

  • The igniter won’t light.

  • You notice shaling (pieces of chimney lining) building up in your fireplace.

  • Any portion of the fireplace is rusted.

  • You notice efflorescence (white stains) on the brick.

If any of these signs emerge or you suspect that you have an issue, call in a fireplace repair professional immediately.

Once your ashes have fully cooled, you can place them in a heavy-duty trash bag and put them into the bin with your normal trash. If you have wood ash, you can add the ash to your composting pile or sprinkle it over your grass or plants directly for added nutrients.
