"Seal on chimney flashing needed repair along with some shingles and other roof issues so I decided I needed a roofer. If I ever need work on my chimney I would definitely call Sweeps. They were here on time, very good communication, and went above and beyond explaining my issues that were causing a leak around fireplace."
"Following the storm I had serious concern that a damaged and rather large limb positioned over the main roof of my home could possibly break during the next storm. I found 'AAA" in the yellow pages (before I joined Angie's List). I contacted Brenda and explained what I needed done and asked for an estimate. I also asked her to have her insurance company fax a copy of their policy on 'AAA' directly to my office. I work out of town and made all of the arrangements by telephone. The estimate that she gave was very, very reasonable. Following the first estimate I attempted to change the scope of work somewhat. Brenda was at my home at that time so it was easy to convey to her what my change entailed. After some further discussion we agreed upon a new price for the work. The additional work that I wanted done was substantial. I asked her to give me a second estimate 'on the spot.' I judged the new price as fair consider the amount of work and time it would likely take. She had at least 5 men on the job, which began very soon after we agreed on the new price. Incidentally, I was very specific about how I wanted the cur would dropped in my yard. I wanted the wood for my fireplace. This was 'payback' for the damage to my porch roof that I incurred during the first storm. It took Brenda's crew roughly 3 hours and work was done. I spoke to my wife (who remained inside our home the entire time). She hardly noticed that they were above and around the house doing their work. I did instruct my wife to look at where the cut wood had been dropped and to make certain that nothing was damage during the work (such as: air conditioner, utility trailer and fence). Everything appeared to my wife to be fine. She then wrote a check for the job, at the agreed upon price and Brenda and her crew left the premises. My wife did say that there were 3 vehicles, one of which was a 'bucket' truck. (Incidentally, the truck was carefully driven over the front lawn and there was no damage done to any of our shrubs or rose bushes, etc.). I am a very satisfied customer. I called Brenda up and told her how pleased I was and mentioned that I would write a FAVORABLE review in Angie's List."

Yes, capped chimneys should still be vented. Failing to vent a chimney will result in condensation buildup inside the chimney, which commonly results in mold growth. If mold begins to grow in a chimney, it frequently goes undetected and spreads quickly through the home. Mold and moisture can damage the structural integrity of your home, and exposure to mold can cause discomfort and illness in residents.
Yes, it is possible to convert a wood-burning fireplace to gas. The average cost for this conversion is $3,000, with a typical range of $500 to $5,500. The project involves running a gas line, professionally cleaning the chimney, and installing gas logs.
Cost factors include the type of gas fireplace and whether a new gas line is needed. Installing a natural gas line can add $200 to $1,000 to the cost. Vented gas fireplaces are more expensive, averaging around $5,000, while ventless options are more cost-effective at about $1,500.
According to the National Fire Prevention Association (NFPA), the leading cause of house fires is cooking accidents, followed by fires started by heating equipment. Electrical issues are the third most common cause of house fires. The best way to keep your home protected is to use caution when cooking and never leave a stove or oven unattended while in use. You can also keep up with chimney cleaning and avoid using space heaters to reduce the risk.
You can research your fireplace insert or retrofit by checking out the EPA wood stove database. The database includes information, such as a model's emission rate, efficiency, and carbon dioxide output.
A chimney cap costs about $300 on average to install, with prices ranging from $75 to $1,000. The final cost depends on several factors, including the professional you hire, the accessibility of your chimney, the cap's material and size, whether any repairs are needed, and if it requires custom fabrication. Chimney caps are usually made from galvanized steel, stainless steel, or copper. Copper caps are the most expensive, followed by stainless steel and then galvanized steel. Excluding labor, average material costs are around $100 for galvanized steel, $250 for stainless steel, and $600 for copper. You may also face additional costs, such as hiring a chimney sweep to clean the chimney before the cap is installed.
