"Dr. Chimney knows his chimneys. And fireplaces. I have two monster fireplaces and one 30ft chimney and he looked at the chimney and said it's not code and doesn't have a crown and is wearing away at the top, and I said let's put one on, and he did, with the aid of his partner and 30ft scaffolding. It looks great and is guaranteed fifteen years. Then he cleaned my fireplaces, which is why he was originally called, and no one in twenty years has cleaned them so thoroughly, they look so good I hate to burn wood in them, but I will, as soon as the crown cures, that very moment we will have a cheery blaze. Dr. Chimney says we have now become part of the Dr. Chimney Family, and this is just to let him know we are proud to be members."

"I met with Jose and discussed options and designs. Before he started the project he showed different rock samples. I am very pleased with the final results. The mailbox pillar was just what I wanted and he put on some artistic touches. I would recommend Luna masonry to anyone."

The project could take anywhere from one to five das, depending on the extent of the removal. Capping a gas line can be done on the same day, whereas completely removing a fireplace and chimney can span several weeks. Talk to your pro about the timeline and potential obstacles, like fireplace material, location, and potential structural issues.
Yes, you can have a gas line professionally installed to convert your traditional fireplace to natural gas; just know it’ll be an extra cost to budget for. The cost to run a gas line where you don’t already have one is about $540, though most homeowners pay between $260 and $820. Your total could be significantly higher if you don’t already have a main gas line running to your home.
A chimney liner isn’t required for an outdoor fireplace; you don’t technically need one if the masonry chimney uses the proper dimensions and is built to code. However, a chimney liner does serve as a protective coating for the flue. Adding a liner could improve performance, safety, and durability. In short, while not necessary, it wouldn’t hurt.
They’re both types of wood-burning fireplaces, but a wood fireplace is built directly into a wall and attached to a chimney. A built-in wood fireplace often has an open hearth, although some models have an enclosed hearth. On the other hand, a wood-burning fireplace insert is a self-contained box that slides into an existing fireplace opening.
The most common sign of a carbon monoxide leak is the visible black soot marks on the walls near your wood stove. An excess accumulation of smoke in other rooms of your home could also indicate that your wood burning stove is leaking carbon monoxide. If you notice either of these signs or are still unsure, it’s best to leave the premises and contact your fire department to check your home’s levels.
