"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

Depending on who’s doing the estimating, about 22,000 to 25,000 chimney fires happen each year in the United States. Given the fact that millions of Americans have fireplaces (and chimneys), that means chimney fires aren’t exactly common—but they’re not rare, either. Since they’re so dangerous, it’s important to take precautions to prevent them.

Certain fireplace repairs will require that your contractor is licensed, including anything that involves moving, installing, or repairing gas lines. In that case, your professional will need to be a certified plumber. You can use Angi’s licensing lookup tool to confirm that the company you’re hiring is properly licensed. Most states don’t have specific license requirements for other fireplace repairs, but most demand at least a general contractor’s license. It’s also a good idea to look for companies certified by the National Fireplace Institute, as those pros tend to be more qualified to carry out the repair.

A liter of bioethanol costs $11 and burns for around four hours, making it cost around $2.75 per hour to keep your bioethanol fireplace running. For comparison, natural gas costs around $0.50 per hour, and propane costs around $1.60 per hour. 

How much it costs you to run your bioethanol fireplace largely depends on how often you use it. Hypothetically speaking, if you run your fireplace for four hours a week year-round, you’ll go through one liter of biofuel per week or about $570 per year to run the fireplace.

DIY installation is not recommended due to the complexities of gas line work and venting; professional installation ensures safety and compliance.

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.
