He did show up and made an attempt to fix our fireplace and said he was going to order a part and then he disappeared. He vanished completely. Very nice man but should not be in the business of repairing something and then vanish.

"Daniel came on Thursday night after work. Came back Friday morning while I was at work. Completed all the work. Sent me photos of the work and I paid through Zelle. When I got home, saw that he not only did the work needed, but a few other areas for the same price. Also, matched the color of the mortar perfectly. Would definitely recommend Daniel."

"I love this is a family business that has been in business successfully for a long time. That says a lot. James was so professional, honest, and took his time to check out all the work to be done and to answer any questions I had. He was reassuring and thorough. Their job was to do a lot of repairs on cracking mortar and for loose or missing mortar. When the work was done, I had a hard time finding where I had needed the repair work because James was so precise in matching the color. The crew did an amazing job, very skilled. I never thought I would be so excited about masonry, but I am because of the skills and craftsmanship of this company. 100% recommended. ."

Fireplaces questions, answered by experts

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’ll spark and create a fire. But if they hit something like tile or granite, they’ll simply go out.

Annual inspections, soot removal, and clean-burning fuel help maintain a safe and efficient chimney.

This happens when condensation forms due to your room temperature being lower than its dew point. You can clean the glass with a combination of baking soda, vinegar, and warm water to wipe away the fog from the doors.

You can burn wood with oak wilt, as heat from the fire destroys the fungus, and smoke won’t threaten healthy trees. However, wood of unknown origin should be burned during the dormant season—do not store wood in the warmer months for the winter season. If you harvest oak, let it dry in the sun before transporting it elsewhere.

Common problems include pilot light failure, clogged burners, and faulty ignition systems. Regular maintenance prevents many issues.
