"The young lady that scheduled the visit was exceptional. She was friendly and accommodating. Work was completed. The fellas were respectful, engaging, and highly knowledgeable. They took time to explain things in laymen terms and demonstrated how to operate each fireplace. For a beginner like me I was overjoyed to have the direction. They even offered to come back in the Fall to show me again how to operate the fireplaces. Exceptional service! I requested for them to put me on their list next May to complete more work."

"FINALLY A SERVICE COMPANY YOU CAN TRUST!! A few weeks ago my 80 year old mother called ANOTHER company to inspect her chimney. They told her that there were gaps between her tiles and that the only solution was to install a steel liner which she was quoted 7000 for. They tried to scare my mother into saying it was unsafe for her to use her fireplace and she needed to have the work done asap. This was suspicious to me as it did not make sense to have a liner installed if the tiles themselves were still in good condition. Thankfully I decided to get another opinion. I ended up calling Riaz chimney and the tech told me that all my mother needed was something called heatshield to be applied between the gaps and it would be a fraction of the cost. They came out that week and were amazing! Not only did they fix my mothers chimney but they saved her from being scammed out of THOUSANDS of dollars. I 100% recommend them to anyone and shame on these other companies trying to scam the elderly!"

"I had two previous repair men and they didn’t go through the entire system like Stan did. He found that there was 3 sensors could have been an issue and he found the one was frozen. After deicing it he found that it was bad. He replaced it and spent as much time as was needed to repair the problem. The other two tried one thing and they both failed although the one did clean the coils as a measure. Stan was very professional and even called to discuss the issue with another technician. I would definitely recommend him to others"

"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."

"Our chimney was in very rough shape and we got a few estimates. Nick was the most reasonable so we went with him. He knows his trade. The chimney looks very good from the street, lines look good and the missing pieces have been replaced. He was professional and respectful when he was here and finished the project in a very timely manner. I would recommend him and will call him again for other projects in our 110 year old house. Lots of brick and stone here!"

Fireplaces questions, answered by experts

Watch out for fireplace service quotes that lack proof of state certification or proper licensing. A contractor pressuring you to skip structural permits is a major warning sign. Be cautious of professionals who only offer visual inspections for older Akron homes without using a camera to check the flue liner. Finally, reject any proposal that ignores exterior water intrusion assessments or lacks verifiable local references.

Helpful?

Unexpected project scopes during fireplace service often involve replacing damaged clay flue liners in older properties. Severe weather frequently destroys chimney crowns and flashing, turning minor patching jobs into full replacements. You must also prepare for asbestos abatement in homes built before 1980. Furthermore, shifting OH clay soils cause foundation settlement, requiring extensive structural reinforcement to bring the entire system up to modern safety standards.

Helpful?

A major mistake during fireplace service is delaying repairs until spring. Winter weather rapidly worsens minor cracks into structural failures. Homeowners also err by applying waterproofing sealants over damaged mortar, which traps moisture inside the masonry. Additionally, skipping required permits or ignoring annual inspections for gas fireplaces creates serious safety hazards. Always burn seasoned wood to prevent rapid creosote buildup in your Akron home.

Helpful?

The local climate plays a major role in fireplace service success. Akron experiences intense freeze-thaw cycles and heavy lake-effect moisture, which accelerate mortar deterioration and flue cracking. Additionally, shifting clay soils impact chimney foundations. Since many homes feature older masonry, a sound flue liner is critical for long-lasting results. Always hire a certified professional to ensure your project meets current structural and safety codes.

Helpful?

Start by scheduling a thorough chimney inspection before booking gas log service. Many older homes in Akron feature aging masonry chimneys with deteriorated liners. You must also verify that your system meets current OH building codes for vented or vent-free appliances. Install functioning carbon monoxide detectors before operating your fireplace to ensure your home stays safe. Finally, have a certified specialist confirm that your gas supply lines are completely leak-free.
