Q: Should you buy or build an outdoor fireplace?

• <div><p>Deciding whether to buy a prebuilt fireplace kit or build one from scratch comes down to aesthetics, available space, and budget. Many homeowners like the convenience and lower cost of prebuilt options&mdash;around <b>$1,500</b>&mdash;versus the involved planning and construction of a larger fireplace. Another bonus: you can usually move prebuilt units. Custom projects are more common when homeowners have access to a larger budget and more area in the yard to place the fireplace. </p></div>

Q: Is a chimney cap necessary?

• <div><p>Chimney caps are necessary both from a building safety standpoint in most municipalities and to keep your home protected from a variety of issues. Chimney caps are not only mandated by building code in most areas, but they also serve to keep squirrels, raccoons, and other pests out of your home, as well as snow and rain. Therefore, they help to avoid property damage, making them a worthwhile investment.</p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to run a pellet stove?

• <div><p>This will depend on the size of the pellet stove and how much of the house you&rsquo;re heating, i.e. just one room or the entire house. Many pellet stoves use anywhere from 80 to 345 watts of electricity per hour. In terms of the pellets, a 40-pound bag can cost $5 to $9. A bag of pellets will burn for about 24 hours.</p></div>

Q: Will my chimney have air vents?

• <div><p>Your chimney comes with dampers, which are similar to air vents. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-is-hvac-damper.htm">Dampers are</a> metal plates that allow hot air and smoke to flow from the fireplace up your chimney and out of your home. When you close the damper, it prevents cool air from getting into your home. This is why you&rsquo;ll want to check to make sure your damper is open before starting your fireplace and you want to ensure it&rsquo;s closed after the fire goes out. You can open and close them via an external knob, pull chain, or lever. </p></div>

Q: Is a gas fireplace cheaper than wood?

• <div><p>The cost difference between a gas fireplace and a wood-burning fireplace depends on the type of wood-burning fireplace installed.

Installing a gas fireplace costs about $3,600 on average, whereas the cost to build a masonry wood-burning fireplace can go up to $30,000.

Sylvester did an excellent job working on the roof, and stopping a horrible leak. He was professional and went above and beyond to ensure that the job was done properly. He added flashing, removed and replaced the tar along a leaking roof line, and repainted the resealed wood.
