"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."

"It's a pretty decent system, I think. They send you the pieces and you install them yourself, which is pretty easy. The only real problem I have is that one sensor is too far away from the panel...or there's some interference, and they haven't been able to fix that. It's an interior door, so it's not the end of the world, just a little annoying. Their customer service is pretty good though. Nice, smart customer service people on the other end, very polite and helpful."

"We asked for bids from three area companies.  Dan from VanDusen provided us with the bid that best fit our budget for the work that was to be performed.  Our estimate was given 8/20/14 but the work was not scheduled until January.  Dan accompanied the crew at the start of work and introduced me to the foreman, Zack.  The crew faced horrible conditions with bitter cold winds that came relentlessly out of the west.  Everyone remained positive and Zack did a terrific job of keeping me informed of the progress.  The work went into a second day and the part of the roof that was not covered had plastic tarps in place to cover.  It snowed that night but no time was lost because of the tarps.  The job was finished the second day and photos were made available to see exactly what had been done.  Two members came back in the spring to inspect the roof and pick up dropped nails with magnets once the snow melted.
     I had real misgivings about allowing this work to be done in the middle of winter.  Had he been living, my father would have said to wait for warm weather so the shingles could adhere to one another and the built in adhesive could do its job.  In the first days after work was completed, some of the shingles did have a ruffled appearance.  But with the warmer days of spring, those shingles lay flat and you would never guess the roof was put on in winter.  Dan and Zack assured me that roofing has become a year around business and I have come to believe them.
     We had a stubborn leak that previously occurred when wind was driven horizontally.  Sometimes that leak occurred only once or twice a year.  Zack acknowledged the issue and made sure that area was properly flashed.  He promised to fix the problem, and to date, it has not recurred.
     Following the job completion we did have one area of ice buildup.  It turns out that it was caused by improper venting at the soffit in the way the original roof was designed.  Despite this, Zack and Dan came out and took care of it for us.  It is this kind of customer service that caused us to feel confident in having VanDusen roof a second house for us.  It will be reviewed separately.  We expect that we will hire VanDusen for gutter replacement and proper venting of the one problem area.
     I cannot say enough positive words about the customer service provided by Zack and Dan.  When you cannot (or will not in January) climb up on your own roof, they really made you feel connected to the project and informed about the progress.  In addition, everyone in the office was pleasant and easy to work with.

Fireplaces questions, answered by experts

Depending on the model of your fireplace, you can leave your pilot light on year-round. This does use a small amount of fuel, so you’ll save on your energy bill by turning off the pilot light seasonally. Keep in mind that some gas fireplace models don’t have a standing pilot light.

When your wood stove catalyst goes bad, it can cause your stove to produce less heat or run slower than normal. You might also notice thick black smoke coming out of your chimney. If you notice any of these signs, contact a professional who installs wood-burning stoves and repairs them for an inspection and fix.

Sap, despite its stickiness, is primarily made of water and is responsible for wood being “green” when it’s first cut. Green wood doesn’t burn very easily and will snap and crackle a lot, not ideal for a fire pit or fireplace. That’s why it’s best to let fresh, sap-filled wood season or dry out for at least a season before you start burning.

Some of the most common chimney problems include:

  • Creosote buildup

  • Chimney blockage

  • Deteriorating brickwork or stonework

  • Cracked chimney top

  • Damaged flashing

  • Flue liner damage or deterioration

  • Damaged chimney cap

If you suspect you have a chimney problem, contact a masonry contractor for an inspection. 

Home insurance prices depend on where you live and the individual insurance company's policies. Some insurers charge a flat fee for fireplaces or wood-burning stoves, which is often a few hundred dollars per year. Other insurers base this fee on a percentage of your annual premium. You may want to check your current or prospective policy before beginning this project.
