"They were very professional and through. They had to install the gas fireplace in a 1940 fireplace with many uneven stones. They took the time to make sure it fit correctly and looked right. I highly recommend them for fireplace upgrades."

"When we discovered that the top of our chimney needed repairs, and that the whole chimney needed to be a foot higher to meet code, we looked for a chimney design that would look good, and a person to accomplish this. When Anthony from Four Winds Masonry and Chimney came to meet us, he impressed us by his knowledge and experience of chimneys and his attention to our thoughts and concerns. He proposed a lift rather than scaffolding that could scar our new roof and offered to bring samples of bricks that most closely matched out existing chimney. He also seemed delighted to have an artistic challenge. The work took 4 days, as he said, and we are thrilled with the results which add to the look of the house. Anthony and his helper Kyle were a pleasure to know and to have working around the house, did an excellent job and left the site perfectly clean. Wolf & Elizabeth S."

"We were looking for a contractor that could stabilize our side porches (bi-level) and enclose it with the largest windows possible for the space. We had sided the house years ago and covered some of the known potential structural ills of the side porch with aluminum coil. So we knew, an estimate was only going to be an best guess until they tore into the project. In the end...we ended up paying roughly 17% more than the original contract amount. However, this was almost expected or anticipated. I was most pleased with the fact that they did not simply try to cover up these challenges just to finish the job! The primary worker on this project "Lou" was excellent and very meticulous with his work. He was thorough and a wonderful craftsman! While the project was somewhat interrupted by the COVID-19 issues with our window manufacturer, the end result was most pleasing. We had originally projected keeping the interior in tact, but during deconstruction, we found the wainscot needed replacement as well. While I would have preferred to have Lou finish the interior, I ended up completing the interior myself due to cost and income issues on my part. While I was working to finish the interior, we visited by a rainstorm and there was a minor leak over one of the new windows. I wrote to Mark Genovese about this challenge and Lou was here the very next day to add some sealant to the coil over the windows, VERY Responsive! We have had no leaks since. I would highly recommend Genovese Home Improvement as a trusted contractor. Mark Genovese was professional and I would feel completely comfortable hiring his company in the future for any of my home improvement needs. We had a great experience with this company."

"The workers and office staff were easy to talk to, well informed, courteous , and efficient. They performed a thorough inspection. Recommended and installed a stainless liner and cap for the furnace flue and a new damper on the fireplace flue. Their price was better than previous quotes and even set up a partial payment plan. I am very pleased with the work they did."

Depending on who’s doing the estimating, about 22,000 to 25,000 chimney fires happen each year in the United States. Given the fact that millions of Americans have fireplaces (and chimneys), that means chimney fires aren’t exactly common—but they’re not rare, either. Since they’re so dangerous, it’s important to take precautions to prevent them.

Because of the potential danger associated with incorrectly capping the gas line that serves the gas fireplace, many people will choose to hire a professional to do the work. Some homeowners may choose to hire a pro to only handle the gas line for them. They then may attempt to remove the actual insert on their own, which is a challenging—but not impossible—DIY project.

The best location for a wood stove depends on your home's layout and venting options. For optimal heat distribution, a central location on the ground floor, such as the living room, is often recommended. If you have an existing, functional chimney, installing the stove there can simplify the venting process. Alternatively, placing the stove near an outside wall can make it easier to route a new chimney through the roof. For safety, ensure no combustible materials are near the stove. Building codes typically require 20 to 36 inches of clearance between the stove and any side walls.

Fireplace inserts have several potential disadvantages. The cost of the insert and its installation can be a significant investment, as the process can be complicated and expensive, particularly if modifications to the existing fireplace are necessary. Aesthetically, some people find that inserts lack the traditional look and authentic ambiance of an open, crackling fire. There are also ongoing costs for maintenance, cleaning, and fuel. Fuel type can be a limitation; for example, an insert may be unusable if you don't have access to its specific fuel source. Maintenance and repairs can also require specialized services, especially for gas or electric models. Finally, while an insert is more efficient than an open fireplace, it may not heat a home as evenly as a central HVAC system.

You can research your fireplace insert or retrofit by checking out the EPA wood stove database. The database includes information, such as a model's emission rate, efficiency, and carbon dioxide output.
