"Dayton Masonry did an awesome job on our home repairs. We were really blessed to find them. They were friendly, courteous, and timely. They cleaned up and put everything back in order before leaving. We really can do nothing but recommend Mr. Dayton and crew for doing a fantastic job for us. It was really appreciated."

"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.

Fireplaces FAQs, answered by experts

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.

Single-pane windows might let in the cold, but if you’re not ready for a long-term solution or window replacement, there are quick fixes to keep your space warmer. Start by sealing gaps with weatherstripping or caulking around the frame to block drafts. For an extra barrier, apply window insulation film to the glass, trapping an air pocket between the film and the window. Thick curtains or thermal drapes can also help keep the chill at bay. And if you’re in a pinch and looking to get creative, bubble wrap can provide a surprisingly effective layer of insulation—just spritz the window with water and press it on, bubble side in.

Yes, you need to leave your chimney damper open when burning a creosote log so that smoke and other debris doesn’t waft into your house as it’s burning. You’ll need to make sure your damper is fully open, even when the log continues to smoke, until it’s completely out and cold.

Sap, despite its stickiness, is primarily made of water and is responsible for wood being “green” when it’s first cut. Green wood doesn’t burn very easily and will snap and crackle a lot, not ideal for a fire pit or fireplace. That’s why it’s best to let fresh, sap-filled wood season or dry out for at least a season before you start burning.

Creosote logs can help to reduce new creosote build-up by about 60%, however they don’t replace regular cleaning. While creosote logs can help to prevent build-up of creosote in your chimney, they won’t remove build-up that’s already there. Creosote logs can be used as a preventative measure in conjunction with regular cleaning, but you will still need to clean your chimney about once per year.
