"Jim provided some re-pointing on my parents red brick house. He was extremely patient, worked within their schedule, cleaned up after himself, and did an amazing job from start to finish. Our next door neighbors liked his work so much while he was doing our house, that they hired him to help re-point their house as well. Most everything he repaired blended seamlessly to original house. Jim was laid back and no hassle to work with and I would highly recommend his company to anyone."
"All around job well done. Tear down and rebuilt chimney within my time frame. Everyone was very friendly and professional from set-up to clean up. Communication was great . Had called several other contractors, and they were just not as responsive as Clark. We would definitely use them again and recommended them."
"Great service! They inspected my chimney, identified the issue, and fixed it quickly and professionally. They?re very knowledgeable and easy to work with. Everything is now safe and functioning perfectly. I highly recommend them!"
"The men were fast to act, knowledgeable, extremely professional, their he prices couldn’t be beat, they stayed in contact and answered all my questions in a very professional way, while awaiting my custom cap to be completed so they could install, I really wish they had asked me to put a sign up for advertising I want everyone to know about them!!"
"Ryan edged and mulched our yard for us and also installed a large trellis/lattice panel as well. He was very professional, responsive, meticulous and hard working! I would highly recommend him & his work!"
"Cleaned and repaoed all cracks and leaks from both shoots and sleeve. Could not be happier! Both fire places are working optimum! We now sit by the fire and is the most relaxing! Much praise!"
"We hired Rick Page to install grass block pavers on a vehicle easement used by 4 property owners. Rick was easy to work with and a good communicator. The work was done quickly, and the pavers look great!"
"We live in the city of Pittsburgh and researched all turf options. We have two large dogs that turned our back yard into a mud pit and the one dug holes all over the yard. The decision to Forever Lawn K9 Grass was the best decision ever. No more cleaning dogs off on rainy days and not holes at all. I would recommend ForeverLawn to anyone in the region."

Yes, a chimney damper is necessary. It controls airflow in and out of your fireplace, helping to retain heat when closed and allowing smoke to escape when open. Without a damper, your home could lose warmth during cold months, leading to higher energy bills. It also helps prevent downdrafts and keeps animals or debris from entering the chimney. In short, it’s essential for efficiency and safety.
Yes, you should seal and cap an unused chimney to protect it from damage. Sealing the structure helps prevent moisture damage, which can lead to issues like cracks, spalling, efflorescence, and damaged mortar joints. Capping the chimney is also crucial to prevent blockages, damage from invasive critters, and downdrafts, while still allowing for proper air ventilation to manage moisture. For the best results, consult a chimney professional to select the right type of chimney or flue cap for your home.
