"I had CO2 coming into my house from the oil burning furnace (located in basement) via the wood burning portion of the fireplace (located in living room). This is definitely a safety issue and Hoyt Masonry LLC called within minutes of me putting the information on Angi. He came out the following day and determined a liner had to be installed in the section where the furnace exhaust is piped up through the fireplace. The current one was comprised somehow and leaking over to the wood burning portion of the fireplace. The new stain steel liner had a lifetime manufacturer warranty and was the material recommended by another vendor. Based on the discussion with the other vendor, the price was fair. The liner was installed in a few days, considering he had to overcome supplier chain issues, and a hand injury which required immediate attention that day. He showed up the next morning at 7am to complete the job. ( He felt bad he couldn't get it done the same day). We still had some lingering CO2 smell in the living room and finally determined the bat cover over the exterior fireplace entrance needed to be changed ( installed less than 1 year earlier). Have no had any other issues after getting original installer (pest control company) to change the cover, During this time, Sean came back to check that there were no issues with the new liner and helped debug the problem (always got back to me when I had some questions). Sean and his crew worked fast, returned my calls/texts in a reasonable amount of time, informative, fair price, and left no mess. Would definitely use them again"

"Omar and Victor did an excellent job. They inspected and cleaned the chimney and installed the new stove. Work was efficient and effective. They cleaned up after themselves and were extremely pleasant to spend the time with. I thank them for their good work. Whitney Schofield"

"Al was fantastic! He clearly explained that my fireplace was shutting off as a safety feature due to low oxygen levels. He also reassembled the logs in the firebox and showed me the proper way to start and stop the fireplace. Highly recommend his service!"

"Josh arrived fully prepared to clean my gas fireplace and chimney. He explained everything clearly, was meticulous about cleanliness, and solved an unexpected issue with ease. He relit the pilot light and explained everything to me as he went along. Based on Josh’s work, I can highly recommend Ashguard to care for your fireplace."

"The chimney work on our home was extensive, and seeing it handled properly made a huge difference. The exterior was repaired and reinforced so it’s solid, weather-resistant, and no longer deteriorating the way it was before. The focus was clearly on long-term durability rather than just appearance, and the finished result blends well with the house while feeling much more secure. Communication throughout the process was straightforward, and the work showed a lot of care and experience. If someone we know ever ends up dealing with similar chimney issues, this is exactly the type of work we’d want them to have done."

"Ben is a gentleman who really knows his business. He responded quickly to my first request, came to look at the project when he said he would and also came to do the work when he said he would. He actually repaired and sealed two chimneys, one of which I had no idea needed work. The crew worked efficiently and cleaned up after themselves. A job very well done; I am relieved and glad to have done business with Three Brothers Masonry. Would definitely recommended them."

Fireplaces questions, answered by experts

The cost difference between a gas fireplace and a wood-burning fireplace depends on the type of wood-burning fireplace installed. The cost to install a gas fireplace tends to be cheaper than the cost to install a brick wood-burning fireplace. 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. The cost to install a wood-burning fireplace insert or stove can cost from $700 to $6,500, about the same as a gas fireplace on average.

Hardwoods such as oak, maple, and hickory are the best types of wood to burn in a wood stove. These woods burn hotter and longer than softwoods, producing less creosote and fewer emissions. Hardwoods provide a more efficient and cleaner burn, which helps maintain better air quality and reduces the frequency of cleaning and maintenance required for your stove.

No, not all chimneys need a damper. However, most chimneys do, especially in newer homes. Most gas-burning fireplaces cannot function safely without a damper. Only some older wood-burning fireplaces can function safely without one. A chimney without a damper is essentially just an open hole in the roof of your home.

Gas-powered fireplaces seem to be the most desirable type for homebuyers, per a Redfin report on homebuying trends. That said, any fireplace that has been maintained well and is in safe, working condition could be a draw for buyers, regardless of whether it uses wood logs, propane, or electricity as fuel.

Gas, electric, and inductive. Technically speaking, inductive stoves also fall under the electric stove category. However, they use electromagnetic energy to turn the cookware itself into a heat source instead of heating the burner to heat the cookware. As a result, they ensure precise temperature control, which is often the biggest complaint from people switching from gas to electric.
