"Mr. James and his crew did a great job. He repaired the brick on three sides of my house and when they finished the job it looked as if it was almost like the original walls. I love looking at the house now, it was beginning to worry me before but now I love it. And they cleaned up before they left my house. Thanks."

"It was extremely easy to set up and it is very convenient to use.  I can use my cell phone to turn the alarm off/on wherever I am (or using the box if you aren't a smartphone user), and you can even have your phone automatically remind you to set or disarm the alarm when you are within a given distance from your house.  We use the alarm mostly for checking when people arrive/leave the house (kids got home, handyperson comes by), and for the fire alarm and water sensors.  The water sensors have come in very handy to let us know about a burst water heater and a leaky washing machine before more damage was done. As with all good smoke detectors we've had a few "burnt cookie" alarms, and FrontPoint has always called within seconds to check that we are okay.  We haven't needed any actual police/fire interventions but I imagine that response would be speedy too. You can view the history of the sensors so we can check when someone arrived or left.  We use the door chime so that we know when someone is entering/leaving the house with a pleasant "ding d***" every time the front or back door opens.
The agents will walk you through the setup very quickly and easily.  We went with a non-standard setup for our older home that has many large street-level windows - if someone is going to break in, they aren't going to jimmy open a thin old window, they'll just throw a brick through the large pane of glass and walk right in.  So, we got the glass break sensors for each room instead of the individual magnetic open/close sensors for each window. That was also cheaper since we have 3-5 windows in every room. We haven't had any false alarms (that we didn't trigger ourselves by forgetting to turn off the alarm).  Another company, SimpliSafe is very similar and much cheaper.  Many people at work use them with no problems.  However, they didn't have glass break sensors at the time, and their system isn't as flexible as FrontPoint's, so we went with FrontPoint.

Fireplaces questions, answered by experts

Not every type of flooring is well suited to a wood stove. However, ceramic or stone tiles are good choices since they are durable, heat-resistant, and easy to clean. Softer flooring options, like carpet, could be damaged by the heat produced by a wood stove—or even create a fire hazard.

The easiest fireplace to build is an electric fireplace. These aren’t true fireplaces but can mimic the look of a traditional fireplace. True fireplaces, made of brick and stone, are complex and require professional installation; adding them to an existing home is demanding and expensive. You could spend $30,000 to have a real fireplace installed.

If you haven’t had your chimney cleaned in some time, soot and grime can build up, making it difficult for the lever to release to close the flue. When this happens, locate the lever and clean it thoroughly. If this doesn’t help, consult with a fireplace repair pro to examine it for you.

Yes, removing a chimney is a difficult and major undertaking. Chimneys often provide structural support to a home, so if it's a load-bearing structure, you'll need to take extra precautions to maintain your home's integrity. A project of this complexity typically requires a structural engineer, a masonry contractor, and a demolition crew. The removal process may involve taking the chimney out brick by brick from inside the walls. The cost for chimney removal can range from $2,000 to $10,000, depending on the job's complexity. Due to the difficulty and cost, some homeowners opt to remove the fireplace and seal the chimney at the top and bottom, sometimes also removing the visible exterior portion at the roofline.

There are a handful of things you can look out for that indicate fireplace repair is necessary in your home:

  • See or smell smoke in your home during use.

  • You smell gas or unusual odors coming from your fireplace.

  • The fireplace is visibly damaged or crumbling.

  • The igniter won’t light.

  • You notice shaling (pieces of chimney lining) building up in your fireplace.

  • Any portion of the fireplace is rusted.

  • You notice efflorescence (white stains) on the brick.

If any of these signs emerge or you suspect that you have an issue, call in a fireplace repair professional immediately.
