"Logan and Ben were awesome. Logan came to clean my dryer vent and realized there was more of a problem. They ended up replacement the full vent pipe throughout my basement ceiling. They prevented me from having a major clean up job. My vent pipe was full of water which could have burst at anytime and caused a major leak into my finished basement. They were polite, clean and very professional. They updated me every step of the way and completed the job the same day. I would highly recommend them to anyone that needs this service. "

Set In Stone Forever is a small masonry business established in 2017 by Derek Burns. We specialize in Stone and Stucco Masonry. Services include: Interior and exterior stonework, Stucco and Stucco remediation, Repointing, and other custom masonry projects!

"Derek is great and easy to communicate with. He performed a lot of stone pointing including sealing joints when we got all new siding on our house that met existing stonework like our chimney. Derek is honest, his work is quality and he backs it up with his warranty (he fixed a minor issue that happened a few months later). Would/will hire again and highly recommended!"

"I paid $5,500 to repair my chimney problems. The work has not been completed, and the work so far has been appalling! I paid cash, and I am a senior. The manager I dealt with lied to me. I had an appointment for over a week. She called me yesterday morning the day the tech was to arrive and said I needed to speak to him. Arsly told me he could not come until next Monday. I gave them the chance to make this right and they have not. I asked if the techs had green cards. English was not great AND, I demand to see their credentials! What chimney master drills into a solid fire brick to install a damper wire. It was so tight I could not move it so a friend had to move it for me. I still have smoke in my basement which was supposed to be rectified as well! The techs left large metal parts and trash all over my yard. I have filed charges with the Attorney General of PA and the PA State Police for theft! I am a senior, this is illegal!"

"I called for a free estimate, Justin came promtly and inspected the chimey. He showed me pictures of the problems and spelled out all the options. I explained to him that my cellar has floode due the problems and was anxious to get the repairs done. Justin quoted a price that was fair and much lower then any other estimates. To my surprise he said that he could do the job that day. He kept sending me pictures as the work progressed so I knew exactlywhat he was doing. He was professional and honest about what needed to be done. I was more then pleased with him and the company. I highly recommend .Chimneys are us."

"Ron did a great job on my fireplace. He removed all my old brick facade work and replaced it with a floor to ceiling stone fireplace. He installed a new mantel as well as building it to suit my specific needs (I wanted a tv over the mantel). He went above and beyond by installing the mounting bracket for the tv and placing conduits behind the stonework for my tv cables. The only negative is that I had to wait several months before he could get to the work, but well with the wait!"

Fireplaces questions, answered by experts

Compared to certain types of firewood like pine or spruce—which burn off sticky resin contained within the wood that creates lots of smoke—elm isn’t the worst option for burning in a fireplace.

Because elm wood is dense, it burns at a moderate pace and does a pretty good job of keeping your home warm. Hardwood like maple or oak may perform slightly better, but elm isn’t a bad choice overall.

Homeowners can conduct basic visual inspections and cleaning, but professionals provide thorough checks that identify hidden issues safely.

You should only use water to put out a fire in your fireplace in an emergency situation. Even then, it is better to use a fire extinguisher to put out a fire quickly. Make sure every room in your house that has a fireplace also has a fire extinguisher—and that everyone in your household knows how to use one.

You only need to repoint a chimney every 30 or more years, with some repointing jobs only necessary after several decades. If your chimney’s brickwork looks worn out or crumbly, hire a pro to inspect and repoint the chimney to improve its strength and waterproofing for many years to come.

In most cases, you should have your chimney cleaned and inspected once a year. Since different materials and conditions can cause creosote to build up at different rates, there might be times when you need to sweep your chimney more frequently. An annual inspection will help you determine if more frequent cleaning is necessary.
