Q: How can I tell if my chimney or fireplace damper is open or closed?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: What are the benefits of a brick or stone fireplace?

• <div><p>They provide excellent heat retention and durability and add a classic aesthetic to a home.</p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to replace a chimney?

• <div><p>The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-should-it-cost-replace-and-rebuild-masonry-chimney.htm">cost to replace a chimney</a> is about $10,000 on average and can cost up to $15,000, depending on the size, accessibility, materials, and extent of the replacement. Sometimes tearing the chimney down to the roof line and rebuilding it is an option. But if the chimney's internal structure deteriorates badly enough, a complete demolition down to the fireplace or the foundation may be necessary.</p></div>

Q: How does chimney removal impact the value of my home?

• <div><p>Replacing older chimneys or fireplaces, like wood-burning stoves, with something more eco-friendly can actually increase the value of your home. Some homeowners opt to remove chimneys as they pursue LEED certification, which may also increase the value of your home. But in general, many potential buyers actually look for operational fireplaces in homes, so removing a chimney and fireplace could decrease your home&rsquo;s value by up to $5,000.</p></div>

My name is Cortney Deel, and construction has been a part of my life since day one. Raised in a family where both my parents ran successful construction companies, I learned from an early age that there’s nothing a skilled hand and a bit of passion can’t fix or rebuild.\n\nI specialize in restoration and general remodeling, and there’s truly nothing I enjoy more than watching a project come together—transforming spaces into something beautiful and functional. Currently, I’m a production supervisor at a manufacturing facility, but my heart is in construction, and I’m excited to offer my expertise on the side to bring your home improvement ideas to life.\n\nWhether you need a simple fix, a full restoration, or a complete remodel, I’m confident that I can help recreate the space you’ve been dreaming of. Please feel free to reach out to me anytime for a consultation or to discuss how I can assist with your next project.\n\nLooking forward to working with you.\n\n
