"Shamrock Maintenance Corp. did an excellent job cleaning and inspecting our wood burning stove. The technician arrived on time, was professional, and explained everything clearly before starting the work. They made sure the area was protected and left everything clean once the job was completed. I appreciated how thorough the inspection was and the time they took to answer our questions. It’s hard to find reliable service these days, but they definitely delivered. Highly recommend."

"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."

I have chosen to clean most AMYTHING & EVERYTHING for the pure fact of gratification I feel when I am accomplished with the task. I work for commercial and residential, I am fully insured as well. I have found that I specialize in cleaning kitchens and bathrooms to the point where they look brand new as if they were just newly built. I have a very detail-oriented way of thinking for the things I see that need my cleaning attention. I do not know how to do anything halfway it is either All or nothing in my line of work. Now, granted I do this for a living but I also do it for my own serenity and satisfaction to feel complete at the end of my day. For me to make someone else's life a little bit easier or take a load off of their shoulders when it comes to their home or business I take very seriously. I can guarantee you will not be sorry when you see my work I am worth it every bit of it.

"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

Your chimney comes with dampers, which are similar to air vents. Dampers are metal plates that allow hot air and smoke to flow from the fireplace up your chimney and out of your home. When you close the damper, it prevents cool air from getting into your home. This is why you’ll want to check to make sure your damper is open before starting your fireplace and you want to ensure it’s closed after the fire goes out. You can open and close them via an external knob, pull chain, or lever. 

While most stoves won’t last two decades, some do! Gas stoves and pellet stoves are more likely to go the distance than electric stoves or induction cooktops, and maintenance can go a long way toward increasing longevity.

Both vented and ventless gas fireplaces have pros and cons, and the best choice depends on your needs and preferences. A ventless fireplace may be a good option if you do not have a chimney, but you should check local regulations as they are banned in some areas, such as California. On the other hand, if anyone in your household has allergies, asthma, or other respiratory sensitivities, a vented fireplace is a better choice for health and air quality.

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. 

A liter of bioethanol costs $11 and burns for around four hours, making it cost around $2.75 per hour to keep your bioethanol fireplace running. For comparison, natural gas costs around $0.50 per hour, and propane costs around $1.60 per hour. 

How much it costs you to run your bioethanol fireplace largely depends on how often you use it. Hypothetically speaking, if you run your fireplace for four hours a week year-round, you’ll go through one liter of biofuel per week or about $570 per year to run the fireplace.
