"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."

Fireplaces questions, answered by experts

Pellet stoves are used as heat sources for homes. They work by burning biomass pallets, which might be composed of wood, sawdust, or food waste. The pellets are stored in the stove's hopper until the stove is ignited, at which point some are released into the stove's firebox to burn for heat. Unlike most fireplaces, pellet stoves have a thermostat that adjusts the temperature by releasing more or fewer pellets, depending on how warm you want to make your living space.

Modern wood-burning stoves are very effective, reaching around 80% efficiency. That’s because models built after 1988 are designed to meet standards set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to operate more efficiently and produce less air pollution. If you have an older wood stove, it may not be as efficient.

Handbuilt masonry fireplaces are likely what comes to mind when we think about curling up by the fire at the end of the day. But bricks in the firebox and chimney tend to be heavy, which is not ideal for homes with weak or damaged foundations.

Prefabricated fireboxes come with a full flue and chimney system, significantly reducing the price and installation time. However, if you need to replace the panels down the line, you are locked into the same model or something very similar.

The most common sign of a carbon monoxide leak is the visible black soot marks on the walls near your wood stove. An excess accumulation of smoke in other rooms of your home could also indicate that your wood burning stove is leaking carbon monoxide. If you notice either of these signs or are still unsure, it’s best to leave the premises and contact your fire department to check your home’s levels. 

Wood is classified as either hardwood or softwood. For firewood, hardwoods are generally the best choice as they tend to burn longer, hotter, and produce less smoke than softwoods. Recommended hardwoods include oak, hickory, maple, cherry, ash, beech, birch, elm, and walnut. Oak is a particularly good option as it's widely available, slow-burning, and doesn't produce much smoke or sparks. Some woods, like oak, hickory, and cherry, also emit a pleasant scent. It is best to avoid softwoods such as eucalyptus, poplar, and willow, as they create a lot of smoke and have a high moisture content that makes them difficult to light and burn efficiently.
