"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."

"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

Hardwoods such as oak, maple, and hickory are the best types of wood to burn in a wood stove. These woods burn hotter and longer than softwoods, producing less creosote and fewer emissions. Hardwoods provide a more efficient and cleaner burn, which helps maintain better air quality and reduces the frequency of cleaning and maintenance required for your stove.

There are a few things you can keep an eye out for that indicate you may need to call in a gas fireplace repair tech:

  • Your fireplace pilot light won’t stay on.

  • You notice the smell of rotten eggs.

  • You hear hissing coming from the gas fireplace.

  • You notice a soot build-up.

  • The fire goes out unexpectedly.

If you notice a rotten egg smell or hear hissing, you could have a gas leak, which is extremely dangerous. Call the fire department and your gas company first to shut off the gas and air out your home before calling for a repair.

Yes, it can be worth installing a gas fireplace, depending on your home heating needs. The cost to install a gas fireplace can be much lower than the cost to install a comparable wood-burning fireplace. The convenience of starting a fire with the flip of a switch and turning it off just as quickly makes a gas fireplace a big time saver over starting and maintaining a wood-fueled fire. A gas fireplace also does not require ash cleanup or frequent chimney cleaning to remove creosote and other buildup that can lead to chimney fires. Gas fireplaces burn and heat much more cleanly than wood fireplaces.

The height of the chimney for your outdoor fireplace depends on where the fireplace is located. Ideally, the chimney should be 2 to 3 feet higher than surrounding structures; this allows smoke to ventilate properly without endangering anyone or anything.

Note: Your municipality may have strict requirements regarding chimney heights, so it’s always a good idea to check local building codes.

A gas fireplace insert costs about $3,600 to install, on average. The cost to install a gas log insert ranges from about $700 to $6,500, depending on the size, type of insert, how it works, and heating needs. Gas fireplaces need electrical and gas lines installed properly, so hiring a pro is recommended rather than trying to DIY installation.
