Q: Does homeowners insurance cover chimney leaks, repairs, or replacement?

• <div><p>Homeowners insurance may cover chimney leaks, repairs, or replacement, but coverage depends on the cause of the damage. If the chimney is damaged by a sudden, covered peril like a lightning strike, storm, hail, fallen tree, or an unexpected fire, your policy is likely to cover the costs. However, insurance generally does not cover damage resulting from normal wear and tear, old age, or a lack of proper maintenance, such as failing to perform regular cleanings and inspections. If a fire or other damage is caused by a known issue you didn't address, the claim may be denied. Additionally, some policies may have specific exclusions for events like high winds or earthquakes.</p></div>

Q: Does a gas fireplace add value to your home?

• <div><p>Yes, gas fireplaces can increase your home's value by as much as 12%. They are a sought-after feature because they burn cleaner, provide more warmth, and are more convenient than wood-burning fireplaces. Modern gas inserts can also provide the traditional aesthetic appeal that buyers like. To ensure the highest return on investment, perform regular maintenance and schedule annual professional inspections.</p></div>

Q: How can I tell if my chimney or fireplace damper is open or closed?

• <div><p>There are several ways to determine if your chimney or fireplace damper is open or closed. A simple method is to check for airflow by placing your hand near the fireplace opening; if you feel a draft or hear wind whistling, the damper is open. An open damper might also make the room feel cooler, similar to the outdoor temperature, or cause your HVAC system to work harder than usual. For a more definitive test, you can try a visual inspection, although it may be difficult to see. Alternatively, you can light a small piece of paper and observe the smoke; if it is drawn up the chimney, the damper is open. Always use the damper handle to adjust its position.</p></div>

Q: Can a fireplace be built on an existing house?

• <div><p>You can build a fireplace on an existing house, but it&rsquo;s much easier to construct a masonry fireplace when building a new house. To add to an existing house, you&rsquo;ll need to build a chimney and ensure the foundation can support a true masonry fireplace. Alternatively, you can purchase a gas or electric fireplace insert, which isn&rsquo;t as complicated to add to an existing structure.</p></div>

Q: Is a fireplace insert safer than a fireplace?

• <div><p>Although no heating appliance can be entirely risk-free, a fireplace insert is considered a safer alternative to a traditional open fireplace, thanks to their enclosed design. With a sealed combustion chamber, a fireplace insert effectively reduces the risk of sparks and embers escaping into the room, minimizing the chance of an accidental fire.</p><p>Additionally, an insert comes equipped with various safety features, such as tempered glass doors that create a barrier between the flames and the surrounding space. This enhances both safety and energy efficiency by preventing heat loss. As an added bonus, many inserts are designed to meet strict safety standards that ensure proper ventilation and combustion.</p></div>

"The installation occurred very soon after our initial purchase. A week earlier than their original estimate.
Reno Patio and Fireplaces took care of all City of Reno permitting and inspection which was included in their price. The crew was very friendly and informative during the sunshade installation. They came prepared and never asked to use the bathroom or for a drink of water. They made ever effort to respect our privacy and made sure we knew when it was safe to let our dogs out.
Our sunshade looks as though it was an original part of the house (we have a newer home that was recently painted). They had a full array of metal colors to choose from and the one we picked for the columns and trim almost exactly matched our house color. The electrician they recommended, Clay McKinney, owner of "The Power Company" did a beautiful job installing 15 LED lights in the sunshade so we now have warm, even lighting all across our patio.
We would definitely recommend Reno Patio and Fireplaces to our friends and family.

"While Chuck was very kind, he ended up only spending 45 minutes cleaning and examining the stove top and then left to order parts. Then we found out that the parts are not available, so I feel like I spent $200 for no improvement. I wish he had stayed and spent more time on the stove since I paid for an hour of his labor. It is still functioning the same."
