"FairClaims was very prompt and efficient in repairing my chimney and replacing my roof. The roof looks great and any questions or concerns I had were addressed right away. Paul was very thorough in explaining each step and was involved throughout the process. I would use FairClaims again without hesitation! Mar 3, 2018"
"My experience with Jaye was excellent. I hired Jaye?s company for two projects. First and most importantly, I wanted a recently, poorly built limestone fire pit and limestone propane shell fixed. Secondly, I had his company clean and seal all of the limestone pool and spa coping, the spa limestone surround and the newly built limestone fire pit and propane shell ? a very big job considering the amount of limestone involved. At the beginning of June, 2014, I contracted a Cedar Park concrete company to replace a 25-year-old deck with a decorative stamped concrete deck and to build a limestone propane fire pit and a limestone shell to hide the propane tank. Both of these latter structures were attached to a 9?x9? limestone spa. Although the decorative concrete deck turned out to be very nice, the fire pit and propane shell were very poorly built and very unattractive. After two months of failing to have the issues with these structures resolve with the Cedar Park concrete company, I decided I needed an expert opinion regarding the quality of the fire pit and propane shell. I found a highly recommended stone mason from Angie?s List and arranged a meeting with Jaye Stark from Mason Man. Jaye was a very diplomatic, soft spoken man. He did not criticize the original builders personally, he just pointed out the major problems with both the propane shell and fire pit stone structures and there were many. The main problem, outside of the poor esthetics of the structures, was that the entire fire pit and propane shell structures were built with flaws that would affect their stability. As it turns out, the man who built the structures had hammered a piece of wood into the spa limestone to support that side of the propane shell, which would eventually rot and compromise the stability of the structure. Jaye pointed out that the grout lines throughout the limestone pieces in the fire pit and the shell structures were way too wide and would crack within a year or two, causing the structure to be instable down the road. He recommended that the shell be completely rebuilt and that all of the limestone on the fire pit be removed and replaced. I decided to go forward with his suggestions and hired his company to complete the work, and I am very glad I did. The fire pit and the propane shell that was replaced by Jaye?s company is beautiful; it is what I initially envisioned it would look like. I have attached pictures of the before and after the construction of fire pit and propane shell built by Mason Man. Jaye?s team of workers were excellent. They were courteous, they did beautiful work and cleaned up after the work was completed. I was most impressed with preparation work they did before the actual demolition and construction began; they covered everything. The Cedar Park Company did not cover anything and stone dust was everywhere. The work was completed in a week, and the cost of the project was very fair. They cleaned the sealed the limestone in two days. If in the future I decide to have more stone work done, I will not hesitate to call Mason Man."
"They did a great job. They solved all the problems I had with the chimney and it’s been working perfectly ever since. They also fixed a problem on the roof around the chimney; they replaced the wood around the chimney with a material that would never rot, so they fixed it even better than it was before. It took them a couple of days to do the work. They took care of all the cleanup as well. We've been real happy with them."

Neglected maintenance can lead to odors, fire hazards, impaired airflow, and reduced range and hood operation efficiency.
Typically 1-2 hours, factoring in ductwork and electrical connections.
Smooth galvanized metal ducting is best and safest for venting a hood range. It’s best to avoid flexible and corrugated types of ducting, as these options don’t provide ample airflow and may not meet local code. For specific advice on which type of duct might be best for your kitchen, reach out to a range hood installation professional.
Yes, they can assess the size, kitchen layout, and ventilation requirements to make recommendations.
Most residential range hoods have a CFM between 200 and 600. A higher CFM means your range hood is better at removing smoke and odors from your kitchen. The measurement ultimately depends on your stove’s width and heat output as well as the size of your kitchen.
Compared to the average size of a stove and kitchen, 350 CFM would be the minimum recommended rating for the average kitchen. However, selecting a higher CFM range hood would guarantee better ventilation to match your cooking habits, whether they’re minimal or extensive.
