"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."

While a hot fire can help heat up and loosen tar within your chimney, making it a recommended step before using a creosote log, it will not burn off significant existing buildup on its own. Attempting to remove built-up creosote with a hot fire is dangerous and can cause a chimney fire. For safe and effective removal of caked-on creosote, the best approach is to hire a professional chimney sweep.
Sap, despite its stickiness, is primarily made of water and is responsible for wood being “green” when it’s first cut. Green wood doesn’t burn very easily and will snap and crackle a lot, not ideal for a fire pit or fireplace. That’s why it’s best to let fresh, sap-filled wood season or dry out for at least a season before you start burning.
Signs that your chimney may need to be replaced include visible damage like cracks in the structure, bricks, or mortar, as well as crumbling or flaking mortar and loose bricks. Leaks, dampness, discoloration, and efflorescence (a white, stain-like substance on the bricks) are also key indicators of water damage, which can compromise the chimney's safety. Addressing these problems is essential, as a chimney in this condition may be at risk of collapsing and causing major damage to your home. A full replacement costs about $10,000 on average, but can range from $3,100 to $15,400.
Even though ventless fireplaces are safe to use overall, you shouldn’t let them run for more than a few hours per day. It’s also important to make sure the room with the fireplace is well-ventilated. If not, the water vapor from the fire could increase the humidity levels in your home, potentially resulting in mold growth.
There are a handful of things you can look out for that indicate fireplace repair is necessary in your home:
See or smell smoke in your home during use.
You smell gas or unusual odors coming from your fireplace.
The fireplace is visibly damaged or crumbling.
The igniter won’t light.
You notice shaling (pieces of chimney lining) building up in your fireplace.
Any portion of the fireplace is rusted.
You notice efflorescence (white stains) on the brick.
If any of these signs emerge or you suspect that you have an issue, call in a fireplace repair professional immediately.
