Q: What is considered the hearth of a fireplace?

• <div><p>A fireplace hearth is a fireproof flooring material that extends out from the base of the fireplace and into the room. Hearths can be made of brick, ceramic, marble, limestone, and more. A hearth serves the purpose of decreasing the fire risk in the area directly around the fireplace. If flying embers hit carpet or wood, they&rsquo;ll spark and create a fire. But if they hit something like tile or granite, they&rsquo;ll simply go out.</p></div>

Q: Is an electric fireplace worth it?

• <div><p>If you're looking for supplemental heating for your home, an electric fireplace can be worth purchasing. A prefab, freestanding model will only set you back a few hundred dollars and can help to heat up drafty or cooler rooms. Electric fireplaces don't have the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/fireplace-maintenance-tips.htm">maintenance requirements of gas or wood-burning fireplaces</a> and don't require you to buy wood or other fuel. </p></div>

Q: How long does a chimney cap last?

• <div><p>A chimney cap typically lasts between three and 25 years. This wide range is due to several variables, including the material it's made from, the local climate, and how frequently you use your fireplace. Living in an area with severe weather can shorten its lifespan. Regular inspections, maintenance, and minor repairs as needed can help your chimney cap last as long as possible.</p></div>

Q: Should you buy or build an outdoor fireplace?

• <div><p>Deciding whether to buy a prebuilt fireplace kit or build one from scratch comes down to aesthetics, available space, and budget. Many homeowners like the convenience and lower cost of prebuilt options&mdash;around <b>$1,500</b>&mdash;versus the involved planning and construction of a larger fireplace. Another bonus: you can usually move prebuilt units. Custom projects are more common when homeowners have access to a larger budget and more area in the yard to place the fireplace. </p></div>

Q: Does homeowners insurance cover chimney leaks, repairs, or replacement?

• <div><p>Homeowners insurance may cover chimney leaks, repairs, or replacement, but coverage depends on the cause of the damage. If the chimney is damaged by a sudden, covered peril like a lightning strike, storm, hail, fallen tree, or an unexpected fire, your policy is likely to cover the costs. However, insurance generally does not cover damage resulting from normal wear and tear, old age, or a lack of proper maintenance, such as failing to perform regular cleanings and inspections. If a fire or other damage is caused by a known issue you didn't address, the claim may be denied. Additionally, some policies may have specific exclusions for events like high winds or earthquakes.</p></div>

Don’t use this company. They did a fireplace job for us that cost a LOT of money. Multiple stones fell off within months of the job. They replaced them with broken stones and, when confronted about it, Dave gaslit it us by saying “why don’t you like it?” His argument was that the broken stones...
