"I discovered the problems with the debris and the damper when I had gas logs installed. I called 7 chimney sweeps from Angie's List. I reached voicemail at five, was scheduled two weeks out for the 6th but Eric answered and said he could squeeze in a visit to give an estimate that day. He was on time, very courteous and informative. He gave me an estimate for everything except the few broken tiles that could not be seen. Eric made an appointment to come back within 5 days to do the work. He was willing to work around my schedule and showed up at 7:30am. His son, who was also very courteous and professional, helped him with the work. They carefully explained the possible consequences of leaving the tiles broken (a carbon monoxide leak into the half of the chimney housing the furnace pipe, and possibly into the house) and did not charge too much extra to repair the tiles. They left the house very neat, after having carefully covered the entire workspace. Later that night I ran into a problem with the pilot light on the gas fireplace. Ashes away had not installed the gas logs, but it was after hours and I had phone numbers for both Eric and his son, so I called both. Eric answered and his son called back within about a minute. Eric walked me through the problem with the pilot light and stayed on the phone until I had it working. I found Ashes Away to be very reasonably priced but I was much more impressed by their knowledge and professionalism. I know the devastation that can be caused by chimney fires and carbon monoxide leaks and would not want to choose a chimney sweep and repair person based on price alone. I would recommend Ashes Away to anyone."

"Technician showed up on time and was very friendly. He even plugged in the vacuum portion of the sweep outside so as to not create sound disturbances inside my home. In addition, he helped show me how to close a side vent on the fireplace that for the life of me I could not figure out how to close. Afterwards, he left the area cleaner than it was before, and now there are no more wood smells coming from my chimney/fireplace

"It was extremely easy to set up and it is very convenient to use.  I can use my cell phone to turn the alarm off/on wherever I am (or using the box if you aren't a smartphone user), and you can even have your phone automatically remind you to set or disarm the alarm when you are within a given distance from your house.  We use the alarm mostly for checking when people arrive/leave the house (kids got home, handyperson comes by), and for the fire alarm and water sensors.  The water sensors have come in very handy to let us know about a burst water heater and a leaky washing machine before more damage was done. As with all good smoke detectors we've had a few "burnt cookie" alarms, and FrontPoint has always called within seconds to check that we are okay.  We haven't needed any actual police/fire interventions but I imagine that response would be speedy too. You can view the history of the sensors so we can check when someone arrived or left.  We use the door chime so that we know when someone is entering/leaving the house with a pleasant "ding d***" every time the front or back door opens.
The agents will walk you through the setup very quickly and easily.  We went with a non-standard setup for our older home that has many large street-level windows - if someone is going to break in, they aren't going to jimmy open a thin old window, they'll just throw a brick through the large pane of glass and walk right in.  So, we got the glass break sensors for each room instead of the individual magnetic open/close sensors for each window. That was also cheaper since we have 3-5 windows in every room. We haven't had any false alarms (that we didn't trigger ourselves by forgetting to turn off the alarm).  Another company, SimpliSafe is very similar and much cheaper.  Many people at work use them with no problems.  However, they didn't have glass break sensors at the time, and their system isn't as flexible as FrontPoint's, so we went with FrontPoint.

"I called on Thursday, he gave estimate on Friday, started Monday and finished on Tuesday. Wow.
We have a fireplace in our family room that had a wood burning stove installed in it. We wanted to
restore it to a full fire place. The original opening was 42" wide X 42" high. We wanted it lowered
to 32" in order to accept a standard set of glass doors and so that we could lower the mantel and
install a flat panel TV above it.  The original damper for the fireplace had been removed and we need a new one
installed.
I had other contractors provide bids, and we had trouble finding someone that would do the work we wanted
in a timely manner. John came out, listened to what we wanted, inspected the fireplace, went on the roof and
inspected the chimmney,( the only one that did),  took measurements of everything, and gave a bid that was
competetive with everyone elses. He recommended we put in a steel damper versus a chimney cap type and explained
why and we decided to go with his recommendation. Note: that this is considerably more  labor intensive and expensive, but I'll never have to worry about climbing on my roof to fix a sticking damper and Johns price was less than some we recieved for just installing the cap.
John and his assistant were here with the new damper bright and early Monday morning. They were very polite and respectful. They needed to cut into the fire wall to properly install the new damper. When they did they discovered another wall of concrete brick behind it which wouldn't allow the  damper to fit in properly. John traveled quite some distance to find a damper that would fit in the confined space. He showed up the next morning with the new part installed it and finished the remaining work by that afternoon.
I very carefully inspected his work and found it flawless.
The true mark of any contractor is what they do when things don't go according to plan. John was outstanding.
He completed what he said he would, when he said he'd to it (original estimate was 1-2 days) and at the price he quoted.
He used nothing but the highest quality materials, was on time, dependable and trustworthy.
Don't let his quiet, humble demeanor mislead you John is a high skilled craftsman and a very dependable contractor.

Fireplace Cleaners questions, answered by experts

Hard materials like glass, metal, and hardwood floors, washable fabrics, and undamaged electrical appliances can often be salvaged after a fire, although it depends on the extent of the damage. For washable fabrics, make sure to use a phosphate mix during the washing process to extract the smoke smell. There are a few things you should throw away after a fire, like canned foods and cosmetics, even if they don’t look like they’re damaged.

The downsides of brick staining include a complex process and lengthy application. Also, if your brick is damaged or already contains a non-porous sealant or paint, staining won’t be an option as it won’t be able to absorb properly.

A hearth often looks like a tile or brick floor that juts out from and surrounds your fireplace. A hearth can be made of stone, brick, ceramic, or any other fireproof material. Brick offers a classic and traditional vibe, whereas a hearth made of marble or ceramic may lean more toward modern aesthetics. The most common depth of a hearth is 20 inches.

Costs depend on material type, labor, chimney requirements, and structural reinforcements.

When it comes to painting your bricks, you’ve got a few options. Traditionally, lime wash (a mix of aged, burned, and crushed lime and water) was used to whitewash brick or stone. You can also find premixed brick whitewash paint that cuts out a few steps and lets you get started faster. However, for the best results, we recommend using a DIY whitewash (white acrylic paint mixed with water).
