"Robert is an all-star carpenter! He installed 7 interior solid-core doors in my home. I am very happy with the project results, and will be using Robert's services at Delware Construction again! When the home was constructed in 1976, the door jams were terribly placed. Luckily Robert was able to resolve all my issues: fixing door jams, adding new hinge holes to doors, refilling old hinge holes, installing the doors, ensuring a proper door seal and trim alignment. Robert is No. 1!!"

Yes, you should seal and cap an unused chimney to protect it from damage. Sealing the structure helps prevent moisture damage, which can lead to issues like cracks, spalling, efflorescence, and damaged mortar joints. Capping the chimney is also crucial to prevent blockages, damage from invasive critters, and downdrafts, while still allowing for proper air ventilation to manage moisture. For the best results, consult a chimney professional to select the right type of chimney or flue cap for your home. It's also wise to continue with annual chimney inspections to maintain the structure's integrity.
A hot fire alone will not remove significant creosote buildup and can be dangerous, as it risks causing a chimney fire. While the warmth from a fire can help loosen stuck tar, making treatments like creosote logs more effective, it is not a substitute for proper cleaning. For existing creosote, the safest and most effective method is to have your chimney professionally cleaned by a chimney sweep.
A grease fire starts if hot cooking oil comes into contact with a heat source, such as an electric heating element or the flame on a gas range. Once the grease is ignited, it can be very difficult to put out.
