"Danny was punctual, polite and did an excellent job inspecting and cleaning our fireplace and chimney, as well as putting together gas logs and installing them. He was very, very helpful and I would recommend him to anyone in need of these services. "
"It's a pretty decent system, I think. They send you the pieces and you install them yourself, which is pretty easy. The only real problem I have is that one sensor is too far away from the panel...or there's some interference, and they haven't been able to fix that. It's an interior door, so it's not the end of the world, just a little annoying. Their customer service is pretty good though. Nice, smart customer service people on the other end, very polite and helpful."
"John and team were very professional and did an awesome job. The appearance of home now is stunning. We had over 125 knobs and pulls to install and they stayed until the job was complete. Would highly recommend. "
"Chris my sales person (405.203.7008) went ABOVE & BEYOND TAKING CARE OF ME! Chris & Jerry made me feel like I was someone they've known for years. They were honest, straight-forward, worked with me on paint color choices, helped me pick-out new shingle colors and did everything they could to make sure this was a great experience. They met with my insurance adjuster, provided paperwork my mortgage company needed and had the work done quickly and efficiently. WOW they transformed my house! It is beautiful! The shingles are perfect with my brick and the color choices Chris helped me choose made my house pop on the street. I was worried about how the guttering would be placed on my home because some neighbors gutters are not attractive and standout in a bad way. Chris was very helpful in explaining how they would make sure it looked seamless. I want to highly recommend this company if you are looking for any services: gutters, construction, roofing, anything call them first. YOU CAN DEFINITELY TELL THE HOUSES IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD THAT USED ROCA ROOFING, they all are very beautiful. I know that sounds strange to say, but most of my neighborhood had damage. The houses that used ROCA you recognize right away. They look beautiful! Other roofing companies some of my neighbors used looks blah/plain. I don't know if it is because ROCA has better craftsmanship or they use better quality materials; but I can spot a ROCA roof from the others. GREAT JOB!!! "
"It went great. Roger was very responsive and was present during most of the remodel. We have more work in other areas of the house that we will definitely be using him for."
"We have a 4,000 square foot two story victorian style house in the country that was suffering from neglect. We have attempted to refresh the paint in lower perimeter in the past, however, the upper level was something we could not handle. We called three different companies for estimates and selected API Construction. Raymond Ontiveros with API was the only company that gave us specific details of the work to be completed. Raymond Ontiveros came out to inspect the job and gave us an estimate within 24 hours. API was not the least expensive contractor, however, we felt they were able to complete all the work necessary. We felt confident they would produce a quality paint job and they would be able to complete the necessary repairs. We had a big party planned for October 29th and wanted the house finished before that date.
We signed a contract on Thursday with the work to begin on the following Monday. To our delight Raymond asked if they could get started on Saturday. They worked for at least three days to prep the house (including power wash, oil primer, scraping where needed, sealing, caulking and weatherproofing). The house had several area with water damaged masonite trim above the brick line. Raymond suggested we replace those areas with Hardie Plank siding which would keep the problem from recurring. They completed replacement of the water damaged lap boards; replaced the porch baluster spindles and reinforced loose soffits.
When they removed the lap board siding on the north side of the house under the bay window, they discovered a lot of water and termite damage that extended to a wood panel close to the window. They offered to replace the bad board and offered to seal the area between the brick line and the siding to prevent future damage. Since they have completed the repair, I have noticed they have eliminated the cold air draft from the bay window area.
The carpenter on the job, Carlos, pointed out one area along the south side of the house that needed a drainage problem addressed. The foundation of the house protruded out about five inches from the wall. This was an area where water would accumulate and cause water damage. (We wondered why the breezeway area would have water after a big rain) He suggested the installation of metal flashing that would divert the water away from the house. It works great. During the last rain, we didn't find water in the breezeway.
We really got excited when they started painting. The work went really fast. We could expect to see anywhere from two to ten workers on any given day. The hardest part of the job was all the detail trim. There are forty windows in the house and most have trim. The protected the windows with plastic sheeting and probably used hundreds of yards of masking tape. I don't know how they were able to work in some of the spaces between the house and the hedges. I washed the windows and I can confess some of the areas were really cramped. Raymond and his crew provided an excellent restoration and top quality paint job. Raymond would call every few days to make sure we were happy with the progress.
We are so excited with the finished product! Raymond promised when they finished, the house would look new and he didn't lie. They completed the work before the big party. We had lots of compliments from our guests about how nice our house looks. The house is almost twenty years old, however, it looks brand new!
I would definitely recommend API Construction to anyone looking for excellent workmanship, professional restoration and a quality paint project."

You can use a fireplace with a broken damper, but only if the damper is in the open position. If not, your fireplace will not properly vent smoke outdoors. Never operate your fireplace if the damper is sealed shut and you cannot open it, as deadly smoke will quickly fill your home. If your fireplace damper is broken, have it repaired or replaced as soon as possible.
The damper, located just above the firebox, can open or close the chimney flue. The damper should remain closed unless there’s a fire burning in the fireplace. Closing the damper prevents energy loss through the chimney and cold air from seeping into the home during the winter. Opening the damper helps maintain airflow when there is a fire and prevents smoke and gases from venting into the house.
A chimney cap typically lasts between three and 25 years. This wide range is due to several variables, including the material it's made from, the local climate, and how frequently you use your fireplace. Living in an area with severe weather can shorten its lifespan. Regular inspections, maintenance, and minor repairs as needed can help your chimney cap last as long as possible.
Annual inspections, soot removal, and clean-burning fuel help maintain a safe and efficient chimney.
Regular fireplace servicing is vital for safety and efficiency. You must inspect and clean wood-burning fireplaces annually to remove creosote buildup and address potential issues. Gas fireplaces benefit from annual inspections to ensure proper functioning and safety. More frequent servicing may be necessary if you use your fireplace extensively or live in an area with harsh winters. Always consult a local professional to establish a suitable servicing schedule for your fireplace.
