Tim maintained communication as the appointment for repair on our hood had to be rescheduled several times during winter weather. Was knowledgeable about what we needed and worked well with our fire protection company completing the repair safely.

We had Let it Fly install, river rock, a fire pit and seating area, lighting, and sod. Brandon, Ezra, and their crew were meticulous in all aspects - design, installation and clean up. They worked long days and got the job done. It looks great!

Grind and Gone Tree Service did a great job! They gave us advice on whether to remove one of our questionable trees, left one of the stumps tall enough to make an outside table, cut some of the wood for our fire pit and even cut me a nice slice of wood to use for my painting hobby. We haven't...

All 7 fire detectors in home would randomly come on then turn off every hour! Even after I installed new batteries. Mr. Electric came to house and checked wires on all detectors and then found and replaced 1 bad detector. Problem solved. Great job!

It worked out great for our local move! Pit Stop packed us up on a Thursday and moved us on Friday and went above and beyond to make sure everything was out of our old house and unloaded at our new house. I would definitely recommend them and would use them for our next move.

Pretty well. Roman dug a pit for an inground trampoline. It ended up taking longer and took a bit of cleanup work on my end. But the trampoline is perfectly level. Because it took longer, some other parts of the job weren't able to be completed.

Fire Pit Installation questions, answered by experts

A fireplace hearth is necessary in most areas per building codes, especially for gas and wood-burning fireplaces. Electric fireplaces may not require a hearth, so check local building codes or ask a pro for guidance if you’re leaning toward electric. A fireplace hearth can decrease the risk of flying embers creating a fire and burning your home down. That’s why fireproof material, like tile, is used for the hearth.

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.

A chimney requires both a cover and a cap, but these parts often get confused with one another. A chimney cover seals the top of the chimney around the flue pipe to prevent water from entering the chimney. A chimney cap is a piece that sits above the flue to prevent animals, debris, and water from entering the flue.

A chimney liner isn’t required for an outdoor fireplace; you don’t technically need one if the masonry chimney uses the proper dimensions and is built to code. However, a chimney liner does serve as a protective coating for the flue. Adding a liner could improve performance, safety, and durability. In short, while not necessary, it wouldn’t hurt.

Burning a single palm tree stump, if you’re careful, is technically doable DIY. However, you should always take precautions to control the fire and do research if you’re burning multiple types of trees.

Some trees, such as ornamental trees, black cherry, and some oak trees, release toxins into the air when burned that can be irritating to your lungs (or even dangerous) to breathe in.
