"I had my chimney cleaned by the father Marlin. The son Vincent came to install my boiler. It took several weeks to get them here and several weeks to install. Each time they came they quoted a time and were a minimum of 5 hours late! The access door for cleaning was never cemented in place and the boiler connection was improperly connected. The son Vincent told me I need my chimney cleaned. When I stated your dad cleaned it two months ago. Well you need a new chimney liner or my home would burn down. I called the father and ask him why he didn’t tell me I needed a liner. He made a lot of excuses and never answered the question while blaming my family member for exaggerating this statement. Vincent told me I needed the liner while staring at my chest in a very inappropriate way. Really gave me the creeps. After reading another review here on Angies list I wish I had read the reviews prior to hiring this establishment."

We have 10 employees adn have been in business since 2005. We do sub-contract a few services. We often have promotions and they can be seen on Facebook or on our website. We offer six months SAC financing all the time.

"We purchased a new Wood Stove from Creekside to replace the Coal Stove that was in our new house. The crew showed up on time, removed the old stove and installed the new one in an amazingly quick manner. Everything works perfectly. They even cleaned the chimney. Since the Coal Stove was relatively new ( we just don’t like Coal), Creekside put the Stove in their inventory and sold it on consignment for us. What a great group of people! Would definitely recommend them and will definitely use them in the future."

Fireplaces questions, answered by experts

Your state, city, or even homeowners insurance company may have requirements on how far the outdoor wood furnace should be from the house, so be sure to abide by those regulations. In general, you should install an outdoor wood furnace or boiler as few as 30 feet or as much as 500 feet from the house or any other building.

Outdoor fireplaces are extremely sturdy if constructed correctly, but they do require regular maintenance. The good news is that cleaning and checking the fireplace needs to be done just once a year. However, for safety reasons, let a professional clean the fireplace. Homeowners should expect to pay between $100 and $300 for outdoor fireplace maintenance. Any damage to the fireplace itself, however, will cost much more to repair.

Costs depend on appliance age, issue complexity, part availability, and labor rates.

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.

DIY cleaning is possible, but professionals ensure thorough creosote removal and safety compliance.
