I have been painting for almost 10 years and I’m willing to do what it takes for the homeowner to be satisfied with the work. I’m very flexible and versatile.
"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."

Start your fireplace service routine in late summer by scheduling a professional sweep before the busy season. In October, test your carbon monoxide detectors and visually inspect the exterior masonry. Throughout the Mankato winter, remove ash regularly and monitor the system for cold air backdrafts. When spring arrives, clean out all remaining debris, close the damper tightly, and check the chimney cap for any severe ice damage.
Helpful?
Homeowners regularly skip post-winter inspections, missing crucial masonry damage caused by intense MN freeze-thaw cycles. Another major mistake during DIY fireplace service involves burning unseasoned wood, which rapidly accelerates dangerous creosote buildup. Attempting tuckpointing with standard construction mortar instead of refractory mortar guarantees rapid failure. Finally, many people forget to check for winter ice damage on chimney caps, leaving the flue completely exposed to spring rain.
Helpful?
Older Mankato homes feature unlined chimneys or masonry damaged by deep frost cycles, making fireplace service complex. Homes with steep roofs or tall chimneys require specialized scaffolding. Additionally, split-level layouts with interior chimneys restrict contractor access. Properties exposed to strong river valley winds experience downdrafts that dictate chimney cap modifications. A certified professional will evaluate these specific structural factors to plan a safe, effective approach for your property.

Several types of professionals handle fireplace service across MN. Certified chimney sweeps manage inspections, cleaning, and basic repairs. Masonry contractors specialize in rebuilding fireboxes and fixing brickwork damaged by freeze-thaw cycles. HVAC contractors handle gas inserts and direct-vent units. Finally, specialized installers focus on wood stoves and inserts. Always hire a certified local contractor to ensure your heating system remains safe and fully compliant with local building codes.
Helpful?
Safely manage basic fireplace service tasks by removing cooled ash into a metal container and cleaning glass doors. Check the damper before the burn season to ensure it opens and closes fully. During cold Mankato winters, warm the flue with a lit newspaper to prevent backdrafts. Call a local professional immediately if you notice cracked masonry, a stuck damper, or a strong creosote smell.
