"Don was on time, friendly, extremely knowledgeable, gave lots of tips as to how to build a fire in the fireplace properly, where to store oak fire wood outside the house. He cleaned the fireplace completely and told us what else to add to the chimney to protect the chimney and roof. He will order a part to repair the crack in the back of the fireplace. He will install it as soon as he gets the part. Dons service fee was very economical for the work he did. The service took about hour and half. We would highly recommend Dons Chimney Service for chimney inspection, cleaning and repair."
"They were very good. Their pricing, they were very quick to send a quote. The guy was here the next day for drawings and everything. The overall was very good."
"I telephoned and left a message asking him to call me about chimney sweeping. I took about one day before Mr. Austin contacted me but he immediately set an appointment for the day he called. He arrived on time, assessed requirements and quoted a price that seemed reasonable. He explained what he needed to do and then set right to work after moving a few items out of the way. It took him about one hour to complete the job and remove a large pile of cresote that he had swept from the chimney. He cleaned up thoroughly after completing his work and left everything in good order. I can recommend him without reservation for chimney cleaning services. "
"Sometimes Spouse arrived on time, and went right to work. I had granite countertops installed, and new tile flooring put down. Sometimes Spouse had a tiling crew that did the floors, and shower. They then had another crew do the countertops. Sometimes Spouse was professional and delightful the entire experience. Thank You!"
"Lucio and his crew are amazing. I hired him for roofing, siding, window installation, rock footing/underpinning, new concrete driveway and sidewalks, among other home remodeling. His crews were some of the hardest workers. Always professional, excellent workmanship, and worked with urgency to help me complete my house project timely. Pricing was fair and Lucio was always available for getting to add on services! I will definitely use him as needed in future!"
"Communication started back in November 2011. Actual work was started in July 2012. Partly due to some requirements analyzing was the reason why work did not started until July 2012. Work was deemed completed per contract on my delivery of the last check on October 23 2013. Since completion, the breezeway served as a transversing room with storage on the sides. The main room it leads to is serving in capacity as a small workshop, mainly dealing with wood. The brightness of the lights was very adequate and so is the power delivery from the existing breaker. About a year has passed and I can feel confident I can continue to have the workshop still in service and use. Pictures that are attached showed accumulated additional work of my own accord - window treatments, painting, floor sealing, roof replacement due to hail, but the structure is most definitely sound so far. The lifetime structural warranty solidifies in my mind the soundness of the expanded structure. Jess continued to check on me even after the work has been done. I will soon have his referred HVAC specialist to analyze solutions for bringing in more cool air to the room (cool air was being delivered, but it was not enough for comfortable capacity alongside tool operation - in my opinion) He was very professional in all dealings and despite the slow start (mainly from my follow through), work was done in a relatively timely manner. Communication throughout was solid, accommodating slight changes along the way. Great contractor to work with. Jess knows who to deal with and provide a solution to my overall requirement: A insulated (and for the most part, climate controlled) room that gives expanded dedicated proper space to work in and a new home for all tools that once reside in a not so ideal two car garage.
To note, Accede is based in McKinney and I am in Arlington. I am glad he was able to work with me despite the distance. Year after images are at this link. http://imgur.com/a/oipvW "
"We got several bids for the job. Chavez was the lowest by about 20%. I checked Angie's list to see if his work was of good quality, given the very attractive price he quoted and saw only positivie reviews of his work. He started the job on time and finished early and did every detail to perfection. I was really impressed. He used GAF Timberline shingles, which are the #1 selling shingle in the U.S. They also did a perfect job on cleanup which is not a small matter when old roofing materials need to be carefully collected and removed, including nails. I have had several occasions to be on my roof in the past year and have yet to see a poorly installed shingle or edging. I will certainly be a repeat customer if I need roofing service in the future and can strongly recommend Manual Chavez Roofing. "
For most brick cleaning jobs, including fireplace bricks, use a masonry sponge and a gentle cleaner. A simple solution of equal parts water and vinegar, or a few drops of dish soap in a bowl of water, can effectively remove grime. For tougher stains, you can use a dedicated masonry or fireplace cleaner. It is crucial to wet the bricks thoroughly with water before applying any cleaning solution to prevent the brick from absorbing it, and to rinse the surface completely afterward. Harsher cleaners containing bleach or ammonia should only be used as a last resort, and they should never be mixed together.
There are several ways to determine if your chimney or fireplace damper is open or closed. A simple method is to check for airflow by placing your hand near the fireplace opening; if you feel a draft or hear wind whistling, the damper is open. An open damper might also make the room feel cooler, similar to the outdoor temperature, or cause your HVAC system to work harder than usual. For a more definitive test, you can try a visual inspection, although it may be difficult to see. Alternatively, you can light a small piece of paper and observe the smoke; if it is drawn up the chimney, the damper is open. Always use the damper handle to adjust its position.
Cleaning your own chimney can be risky, especially if it hasn't been done in a long time and you lack the proper tools, knowledge, and safety equipment. The process involves getting onto the roof and handling soot, which poses safety issues. Remember, inhaling chimney soot is a significant health risk. Wearing the proper respiratory equipment is required.
Removing and demolishing a fireplace is extremely labor intensive work that also takes a long time. You need to use brute strength to break apart the brick and masonry, and carry the debris to a dumpster. Depending on the size of the structure, you may need multiple days to fully remove it. After removal, you need to determine how you will repair the wall that held the fireplace, which can also be quite time consuming and challenging.
No. Removing the cause of concern will only lead to deeper concern. You cannot use any fire-powered appliance like a fireplace or furnace without an escape route for the smoke and fumes. If you remove the flue intending to repair or replace it, you should only use the fireplace, wood stove, or furnace once the flue is in working order. If you cannot replace the flue you have removed, call a chimney repair professional immediately.
