"The owner is very professional. He clearly explained the options and identified another potential danger area. We opted to remove the chimney as the cost to rebuild (above the roof line) would have been $8,800. The team was courteous and professional."

"When I first called Sauers I asked for the chimney flue to be cleaned and swept. We wanted to clean the chimney and make sure our ceramic gas log fireplace was safe. They did not tell me that flues or gas log fireplace are never to be cleaned, that they don't need to be cleaned. He cleaned and vacuumed our gas logs, but he said he couldn't use his camera to look up the chimney because of the damper. He did say that this type of flue never gets blocked. There were bird droppings on the walls of the fire box. My fear was that birds or other small animals could have built nests in the flue. He said he couldn't tell unless he got on the roof and looked down the flue. He said that he couldn't do that because of the ice and snow. He tried to light the gas logs, but determined that there is an electrical circuit problem. We need to get an electrician. Bottom line, we got our gas logs and firebox cleaned. That's all, and we're charged the full quoted chimney sweep price. Had I known that they chimney flue never needed to be cleaned I would not have started the job."

"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."

"Great experience, Don showed up when he said he would, and was personable and flexible on scheduling. He made two trips to our home in Akron, the first to quote and the second to complete the quoted work, a gas log tune-up. He also told us a little about the ventless gas fireplace and the gas log we have(we've never had a fireplace before, so the added insight was helpful) and gave us some extra fireplace rocks he had left over from a previous job at no charge. We've already recommended Cleveland Clean Sweep to our neighbors who have a similar fireplace that doesn't work properly, and will definitely be calling them again for routine maintenance on the fireplace and gas log."

"I've hired Don and his son Zack twice. First to do Brick and Stone step repair and most recently two do a full replacement of one of my window wells, repairing two others + waterproof a significant portion of one side of my house. It was a big job and Don, Zack and Nick handled it professionally, efficiently and effectively. I'm very impressed with their work and will hire them again for tuckpointing next year. Pricing is reasonable. Don kept me apprised of their process, when they would be working, and completed the work well within the timeframe I anticipated. I highly recommend Yates Masonry."

Fireplaces questions, answered by experts

Well-seasoned hardwoods like oak, maple, hickory, and ash are the cleanest woods to burn in a fireplace. When properly dried, these woods have low moisture content, allowing them to burn hotter and produce less smoke, which minimizes creosote buildup. Ensure the wood is seasoned for at least six months for optimal burning.

No. Pellet stoves are specifically designed to burn manufactured wood or biomass pellets. Attempting to burn other materials, such as regular firewood or paper products, can damage the stove, compromise its efficiency, and even pose safety hazards due to inconsistent combustion and increased emissions. It's crucial to follow manufacturer guidelines and only use pellets that are specifically recommended for your pellet stove model to ensure safe and optimal performance over its life span.

The installation cost for a brick or stone gas fireplace typically ranges from $3,500 to $12,000. Key factors that influence the total expense include the type of material chosen, labor costs, the setup for the gas line, venting requirements, and any custom design elements.

Chimney crowns should be at least 2 inches thick at their thinnest point. If the crown is thinner than 2 inches, it’s more likely to be damaged and allow water to seep into the chimney.

You should schedule a fireplace inspection at least once a year, per the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). However, this is the minimum requirement even if you’re diligent with fireplace maintenance between uses. If you suspect your fireplace is malfunctioning, schedule one sooner to avoid fire hazards or the release of harmful emissions like carbon monoxide in your home.
