"He inspected everything and left me a list of recommendations to be performed on the top of the chimney that included sealing it and installing a cap. Chimney was in good shape. He cleaned out the fireplace and tested lighting the logs. Very professional and knowledgeable. Will use again and will recommend to neighbors. "
"We have Frontpoint at two houses. We had been looking for ways to cut our monthly expenses (Frontpoint is approx. $100 per month total), so I called them to find out what I could do. They informed me that I was under contract for another year, and that I cannot get out of the contract without an early termination fee that is equal to the cost of the service. I'm a little disappointed, because the upfront cost of the system was very expensive ($1,000+) for each house, so it seems odd that I would get sucked into this contract. Nevertheless, I forgot that I signed up for this with them. My calendar is marked for the day that my service ends, and I will be switching to a company that charges about half of what they do. They have OK customer service and are very responsive, but the wireless system had some issues with reception in my house due to a fireplace, and then they didn't want to work with me to get that resolved. They're OK, but I can't really recommend them."

"This is the fourth remodeling project I’ve contracted over the past 25 years. Two of them were minor and two major resulting in four different general contractors. Based on this experience, I am providing this assessment of Roger Allen. This project was one of the major projects, including: moving walls, adding walls, electrical, network and satellite cabling to every room; numerous new lights – cans, sconces, florescent; stone floor in about half the house; travertine tile shower, bath, and jet tub; marble overlays; three granite counter tops; new windows, duct work, all new solid wood doors, etc. This was major remodeling. I contacted several general contractors and received bids from three. One contractor was unimpressive – no creative ideas or suggestions on the remodel. Just agreed to whatever I said. Not helpful at all. The second contractor was severely over priced. The third contractor was Roger Allen. After giving him a tour and describing my ideas; he jumped in and came up with alternatives in material and fixtures. The end result is exquisite. Glass blocks, marble overlays and granite tile room boarders gave this house a million dollar look. Removing old fireplace bricks and replacing with granite tile that flowed the color scheme from the kitchen into the family room tied it all together. The tile and granite craftsmanship was outstanding. His tile guy is a true artist with stone and granite; the smallest detail was set perfectly. The rough-out and trim guys were equally talented. All employees were professional and courteous. Roger showed up every day to inspect the work and ensure that his employees knew their job assignments for the day. One of the walls that I requested moved was not perfect; he had them tear it apart and rebuild it. Truthfully, it was so minor that I wouldn’t have noticed the mistake. However it was a good example to me of the quality of workmanship that Roger’s company provides. For the record, I’m not associated with Roger Allen nor am I receiving any compensation for this review. I’m just very pleased with the value and outcome of my new house. I recommend that you include him in your bid process. Ask him to show you pictures of my master bath and fireplace."

Chimneys should either be sealed or waterproofed, which is different from sealing off—closing at both ends—a chimney. Waterproofing and sealing are both crucial steps to take to prevent water damage and the chimney leaking inside the house. While waterproofing is more comprehensive, both help safeguard your chimney, extending its life span and preventing expensive repairs.
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.
Common issues discovered during a chimney inspection or cleaning include creosote buildup, cracked liners, structural degeneration or masonry degradation, and obstructions such as blocked flues or animal nests. These issues are potential safety hazards that can lead to combustion problems or poor air quality if not addressed.
If you have a gas fireplace with an electric ignition and you’re experiencing a power outage, you will need to light your fireplace’s pilot manually before you can start a fire. The instructions should be in the manufacturer’s manual.
Pellet stoves do require electricity to power their automated features, such as the pellet feeder, fans, and digital controls. However, their electricity consumption is relatively low compared to other household appliances. During a power outage, pellet stoves equipped with battery backup systems or manual ignition options can still operate, though fans and automatic feed mechanisms may not function. Have a backup heating plan in place for these situations, especially if you live in a region prone to severe weather events.
