"Anthony & James were personable and professional. I would recommend them & Shamrock Chimney to anyone needing fireplace/Chimney work. They were knowledgeable about what they were doing. They took pictures and showed us the work that needed to be done prior to doing the work. We would definitely use them for other things we have to do around the house. I would recommend them to anyone needing work done. Our fireplace hadn’t been used in years so we were grateful that they took care in getting it repaired and working again. Thanks to both Anthony & James for their professionalism & taking care of us. I would definitely get a fireplace & chimney repaired in the summer rather than the winter."
"The workers and office staff were easy to talk to, well informed, courteous , and efficient. They performed a thorough inspection. Recommended and installed a stainless liner and cap for the furnace flue and a new damper on the fireplace flue. Their price was better than previous quotes and even set up a partial payment plan. I am very pleased with the work they did."

"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."
"Fireplace was fine (OPPOSITE of what I had been told by another chimney sweep). Oil burner side ...not so good. Flue was heavily cracked and deteriorated. Entire flue pieces laying at base. Since this could be a carbon monoxide hazard and I quite often have small children in the house, I didn't think it was anything I should let go unresolved (although I was NOT anticipating spending a couple of thousand dollars at the time). Bottom line: New stainless steel liner put in. Liner secured and resealed top and bottom. New cap installed - and cracked top cement crown on chimney was replaced with a rubberized product. Warranty on liner is transferable with the house when/if sold. While I was not thrilled about hitting my emergency fund for something that you can't SEE, obviously it was important to get it done. I was eligible for a Senior discount (am I the only one THRILLED to be older when a Senior discount is offered)? You hit a certain age ... every penny saved helps. Jon Paul was wonderful. Not a pushy sales person. Straight and to the point. Explained everything in detail. Personable. My 4 year old great niece was with me for an overnight visit and she immediately took to him. (Pay attention to the little ones ~ they're very good judges of character). I will recommend them at every opportunity and call them again if the need arises. Five Stars from me!!!"
"Both were working great when they left. Later in the evening I noticed the fireplace was not working so I called UGI back and they came out right away the next day to repair it again. It is working out well with them."

Even if a homebuyer has no intention of using the fireplace installed in the home they’re thinking of buying, it’s vital to know when the fireplace and chimney were last inspected. Aside from learning that it can operate properly, homebuyers will want to know that the structures themselves are sound and won’t affect the integrity of the surrounding home. With full knowledge, homebuyers can then make plans for any necessary repairs before they move in.
You can complete some maintenance tasks on your own, including cleaning your gas fireplace. However, it’s still best to have a professional inspect your fireplace every year. When you hire a pro, they’ll take a thorough look at each part of your fireplace, including the gas lines and venting system, to ensure that everything is safe and working as it should.
With a little ingenuity, an old fireplace insert can be transformed into a decorative centerpiece that infuses new life into any room. Consider placing LED lights or candles inside to create a captivating display that simulates the warm glow of a fire. Another option is to repurpose the insert as a charming bookshelf by adding rustic shelves within the firebox. For plant lovers, converting the fireplace insert into an indoor garden is a perfect way to bring nature indoors. You can also transform it into a stylish wine rack.
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.
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.
