"My home has a chimney that was unsafe to use (cracked masonry liner). I dreaded the time and cost of a tear down and replacement. I contacted "Shamrock Chimney" and scheduled an appointment with their lead technician "Tony". He suggested a less costly and safer alternative (steel liner and a resealing of the outer brickwork. The work was performed over a two-day period. I am fully satisfied with the results. One thing I really apricate is the communication during the project. The "front office" would let me know by either phone or email when the project would start, and then Tony and would give me updates. All and all the whole process went smoothly. Also, this was my first time with "Angi", I hope to use their services again in the future."

"We hired Santiago Construction of Boone, NC, to install stone fascia on our addition's foundation wall. We were not only pleased but completely satisfied with the end result. The picture shows the mortar joints were uniform in width, and the stone layout placement was like a piece of art. Francesco's, the mason who did the work, was a master. His attention to detail was incredibly impressive, as shown in the staggering of the stone end faces laid out vertically at the corners. He is old-school, a master at his work, and you could see his commitment as he worked each day diligently and professionally. It looks like a work of art, and we enjoy seeing it every day."

"Clinton cleaned the chimney and fireplace, repaired the damper, and restored the flashing. He was very careful and thorough with his work and was careful not to allow soot or dust to get on my carpet or furniture. He also cleaned up well outside."

"We had Brick Solutions come out and give us an estimate on pouring an initial pad for our patio. Mr. Walls came out and was very professional and communicated every step of the process to us. He kept us fully involved in the process from start to finish. Because the work was exceptional and the price was the very competitive with the other contractors we decided to have Brick Solutions back out to finish out custom paver walk way from our house to the patio. While doing the work (at an exceptional level yet again) my wife begged me to have them finish an additional paver walk way to our pool. With Mr. Walls's extraordinary skill set, professionalism, and dedication to keep us 100% in the loop I decided to have him finish the job. Expecting it would be a few more weeks before he could come back out and finish, I was surprised when he was able to finish the entire project ahead of schedule. Many thanks to the fine folks at Brick Solutions Inc. They are awesome."

"Fast and friendly service. I needed my deck repaired, and they did a beautiful job. Mr. Lavalle pressure washed my home exterior and put in new outside lighting, and trimmed the bushes in front of my house. I'm having more work done in August, and E R Chimney Sweeps will be doing that, too. Not only does my deck look beautiful, but I was charged a very low price."

Fireplaces questions, answered by experts

A quality pellet stove that receives proper maintenance can last between 15 and 20 years, while most will last at least 10 years. The exact lifespan depends on factors like frequency of use and how well the stove is cared for. Proper maintenance—such as periodically cleaning the vents, vacuuming the ash pan, and refreshing the pellets as needed—can significantly extend its life, making it a worthwhile long-term investment.

In many cases, it is worth repairing an old fireplace. You can repair any portion of the fireplace, and even extensive repairs will usually cost less than a full replacement. Most fireplace repairs cost around $600 and top out around $2,500. Replacing your fireplace will cost around $2,500 and reach as high as $4,000. Not only will fireplace repair save you money in most cases, but the process is also much less invasive and time-consuming, so you’ll only have to set aside one day to be home for the work rather than multiple days.

The answer can vary widely based on a home's age and design. As with any type of remodeling project, assume that every structure is load-bearing until confirming otherwise with a structural engineer. Almost all modern homes have chimneys that are fully independent from the rest of the home's framing. As a result, they don't bear any load beyond their own weight. However, many historic homes built prior to the 1900s contain load-bearing chimneys that tie into the surrounding roof and floor joists. If possible, use a home's blueprints or look for chimney connections that indicate load-bearing qualities to get your answer.

You can complete some maintenance tasks on your own, including cleaning your gas fireplace. However, it’s still best to have a professional inspect your fireplace every year. When you hire a pro, they’ll take a thorough look at each part of your fireplace, including the gas lines and venting system, to ensure that everything is safe and working as it should.

You can close up a chimney instead of demolishing it. Homeowners often go this route because the cost of removing a chimney, especially a structurally important chimney, can be expensive.

Properly closing up a chimney involves closing and sealing the damper, installing a chimney cap damper, and sealing the fireplace opening with a door or bricks. The cost to seal and cap a chimney is around $500 to $650—significantly less than the average chimney removal cost.
