"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."

How you stop your fireplace from smoking depends on the cause. Sometimes it’s as simple as opening the damper. Other times, you need to battle air pressure. The best course of action is to ensure proper ventilation, whether that means opening a door or a window; avoid building a large fire, which produces more smoke; and use seasoned hardwoods, which produce less smoke than other types of wood. If the issue persists, call a pro ASAP.
Professional chimney cleaning, also known as chimney sweeping, typically costs between $130 and $400, with a national average of about $260. The final price depends on several factors, including the size and accessibility of your chimney, the number of chimneys being cleaned, and the type of chimney you have. A standard cleaning involves a chimney sweep scraping creosote, dirt, and other debris from the entire flue. Many professionals also include an inspection with this service, but the cost of any necessary repairs is typically extra. Additional services, such as installing a fireplace damper, will also increase the total cost. It is recommended to schedule a cleaning and inspection annually, preferably before you begin using your fireplace for the season, and to get price quotes from at least three companies to find the best deal.
Bioethanol fireplaces are safe when users follow the instructions and maintain the fireplace. Ethanol is flammable, however, and should be kept away from flammable surfaces, children, and pets.
You should clean the ashes from your wood stove at least once a week during the heating season to maintain efficiency and safety. Additionally, it's crucial to have a professional clean the chimney and flue annually to remove creosote buildup, which can pose a fire hazard and affect the stove's performance. Regular cleaning ensures optimal operation and reduces the risk of harmful emissions.
