"Excellent work from start to finish. My father was a mason, so I know great work when I see it. First, they brought in a tear-down team to remove the chimney down to the first-floor roof level of our two-story house. After which, they rebuilt the chimney to original height installing approximately 900 new bricks using a new Type N mortar. They installed a new 5" thick concrete crown with a 2" drip edge and an expansion joint. They replaced all accessible sections of fireplace clay flue tile extending 4" - 6" above the concrete crown. Installed new stainless steel chimney cap. Installed 2 sets of new step and counter flashing. Installed 2 sets of new ice water shields and shingles as needed. Cleaned and weather sealed chimney entirely upon completion. After the chimney rebuild was done, the Mason, Seth, and his crew cleaned the work site, to include the whole driveway. They are a very efficient and thorough team. I understand that they like to leave the customer's house and yard as clean or better than they find it."

"I have mixed feelings about this company. I picked Hatton because they had the best price and accepted credit cards. I was a bit skeptical of the price since it was so much lower than everyone else I called, but that is the main reason I picked them. I got my quote over the phone and followed up with an email to confirm the price, but I never received a response from the email (this is why 4 stars for customer service). I was happy with the appointment scheduling, I was able to get a convenient time for me the same week I called. Other companies were scheduling out a couple of weeks. However, after their visit, I wished I had hired a certified chimney sweep instead of trying to save money. I can't say they didn't know what they were doing, but I can't say they did. My "feeling" is that a couple of guys bought a shop vac and a wire brush tool and went into business.Perhaps this is how everyone does it though because I have only had my fireplace cleaned one other time by one of the other companies and it was a long time ago. I do remember my feeling at that time is that the other company was very honest and professional. I didn't get the same warm and fuzzy from Hatton. I would have scheduled the original company again, but it took several weeks to get an appointment (worth the wait) and the price was about $50 higher (you get what you pay for?), but mainly because they didn't take credit cards (I like to earn points whenever I can). Finally, I felt the owner, Dan, and his assistant could have been a bit more friendly/personable/verbal. There was very little said which made it a bit awkward. The assistant didn't say one word which was kinda creepy. Dan did give an honest recommendation on how often we should have the fireplace cleaned. He said with our occasional use we wouldn't need it annually. I appreciated that input. All in all, if you're looking for an inexpensive chimney sweep and don't care about certifications, go for it. The fast, cheap service is something many people would appreciate."

"Were honest about determining our chimneys were clean and did not need swept ... Installed our chimney caps as requested and did some extra repair in the chimney tops for cash. Inspected both fireplaces and quoted some prices for repairing both, with most being new mortar or caulking on some deteriorated brick joints."

"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 designed to run for several hours at a time. Running them for an entire day is not uncommon. More advanced models can run continuously for up to 48 hours, making them ideal if you live in extremely cold conditions and don't want to keep refueling the stove.

The best style of chimney cap for a brick chimney is one that fits tightly around the brick top of the chimney. The cap should have a screen to fully enclose it to keep animals out. The best materials include stainless steel, copper, or aluminum that fit tightly or are custom fabricated for a perfect fit on your chimney.

The lifespan of a chimney damper depends on several factors, including its material, how often the fireplace is used, and the amount of debris that enters the chimney. With proper maintenance, an average damper can last about 20 years. To ensure it is functioning correctly, it is best to have it professionally inspected. Some experts recommend an annual inspection, while others suggest having a chimney sweep inspect and clean it every two years. A professional can assess the damper's condition and determine if a replacement is necessary.

Fireplace inserts have several potential disadvantages. The cost of the insert and its installation can be a significant investment, as the process can be complicated and expensive, particularly if modifications to the existing fireplace are necessary. Aesthetically, some people find that inserts lack the traditional look and authentic ambiance of an open, crackling fire. There are also ongoing costs for maintenance, cleaning, and fuel. Fuel type can be a limitation; for example, an insert may be unusable if you don't have access to its specific fuel source. Maintenance and repairs can also require specialized services, especially for gas or electric models. Finally, while an insert is more efficient than an open fireplace, it may not heat a home as evenly as a central HVAC system.

Once your ashes have fully cooled, you can place them in a heavy-duty trash bag and put them into the bin with your normal trash. If you have wood ash, you can add the ash to your composting pile or sprinkle it over your grass or plants directly for added nutrients.
