"He took my money for half the job. He got parts, (he said). I've waited 3 weeks, he is a no show, rescheduled and no show. I now have to wait another week. I am beginning to think Rodney is a scam artist. He has plenty of time to schedule work, but no time to do the work as scheduled. He has dropped me 2x and told me he has too many jobs to schedule, no time to do the work."

Fireplaces questions, answered by experts

In many cases, yes, you can remove a fireplace while keeping the chimney. You’d just need to seal the chimney at the bottom and the top. If you’re considering this option, bring it up with your chimney professional. They can determine if your chimney can remain intact without the support of the fireplace underneath it.

Not all gas fireplaces need a chimney. If you install a ventless gas fireplace, it will release low levels of combustion byproducts back into your living space (instead of pushing them outside through a chimney or vent). Ventless fireplaces burn fuel efficiently, so the emissions are minimal—but they could bother people with allergies or respiratory issues.

The cost to replace a chimney is about $10,000 on average and can cost up to $15,000, depending on the size, accessibility, materials, and extent of the replacement. Sometimes tearing the chimney down to the roof line and rebuilding it is an option. But if the chimney's internal structure deteriorates badly enough, a complete demolition down to the fireplace or the foundation may be necessary.

Chimney caps may be installed by a few different professionals, including a chimney sweep or a mason that specializes in fireplaces and chimneys. A gas fireplace technician is the best person to install a chimney cap on a gas log fireplace vent to be sure the cap is appropriate for the application.

To build a patio with a built-in fire pit, expect to pay an average of $6,750. The cost to build a patio alone is an average of $3,500. Although the cost of construction is higher, the patio and fire pit combination offers a better resale value than a patio alone or a patio with a fire pit add-on.
