"I called yesterday and got an appointment today! I felt Dustin was efficient, with clear communication and honesty. Dustin explained what needed to be done, showed me pictures so I feel like my log cabin home will be safer and warmer once he completes the work. 19 year old Fireplace insert has done its job! Can’t wait till he does the work ! We are ecstatic with Dustin’s service and added our gas fireplace for job # 2!"

"We recently hired Shamrock Chimney to repoint the brick walls on both of our bay windows and our front steps. We also had them perform a safety inspection and cleaning of our gas fireplace. Mr. Juan Ortiz was the company representative, and we found him to be extremely knowledgeable, professional, and courteous. The repointing took approximately 7½ hours, and the results were exceptional. They carefully removed the old mortar, and the new mortar was matched perfectly to the existing brickwork. The bay window walls look like new again! They also completed a thorough safety inspection of our gas fireplace and did an excellent job cleaning the glass and fireplace. We were very pleased with the quality of the work and the professionalism of the crew. I would definitely recommend Shamrock Chimney to anyone needing chimney, masonry, or fireplace services."

"He cleaned out our fireplace and chimney. And walked us through how to use it safely. He was patient with questions and knowledgable and helpful and friendly and smart. 
We are new home owners and this is our first time being able to use a fire place in a home that we own. He told us what we need to buy and what to watch for (a piece of glass in our fireplace door is falling out) and he showed us lots of things (like how to close the floo and such. He is also a firefighter and answered my questions about our fire alarm and things. He did a great job and was patient.

"Manuel did a thorough inspection first, both from inside the house and from the roof. He took pictures of it on his phone to show us the problem. He suggested what was needed and gave us a complete estimate. He came with a helper and worked for two days putting in a liner, insulating the liner, removing old crumbling tiles He replaced the back wall of the fireplace with brick, replaced our old damper with an energy saving one, and applied a water repellent. He protected all of our furniture and flooring as needed. He cleaned up when he finished. He called before coming on the days scheduled, and if he was going to be a bit late, he called to let me know when he would arrive He and his helpers were polite and helpful. We definitely chose the right person for the job, and will call him again if we should ever have another chimney problem or when we need our chimney cleaned."

"The worker told me that the inside of the chimney had deteriorated seriously and needed a liner.  So that was a significant additional purchase.  Used a different company the following year, and that worker told me the liner was not installed properly.  It is impossible to say what actually is the case.  I do not have enough knowledge to know.

Fireplace Cleaners FAQs, answered by experts

With a little ingenuity, an old fireplace insert can be transformed into a decorative centerpiece that infuses new life into any room. Consider placing LED lights or candles inside to create a captivating display that simulates the warm glow of a fire. Another option is to repurpose the insert as a charming bookshelf by adding rustic shelves within the firebox. For plant lovers, converting the fireplace insert into an indoor garden is a perfect way to bring nature indoors. You can also transform it into a stylish wine rack.

You should use an angled brush to first paint the mortar lines, then go in with a high-density roller to evenly paint the bricks one at a time. You can also use a flat paintbrush to paint individual bricks, but a roller is faster and easier to use thanks to its longer handle and wider surface area for coating the bricks. To finish, go in with the paint brush for edges or hard-to-reach areas.

Knowing who to hire to install your fireplace is important when it comes to having a safe place to burn a fire in your home. The best person to contact for installing fireplaces is a mason or general contractor who has a National Fireplace Institute (NFI) specialist certification. If you’re installing wood paneling, then it’s a good idea to also find a pro who is Wood Energy Technology Transfer (WETT)-certified. 

Both of these certifications show that your pro is well-equipped to install fireplaces and inspect your home for the utmost safety.

To stain brick, you should use a product specifically formulated for brick, concrete, or other masonry surfaces. These stains are designed to penetrate the porous surface of the brick and bond with it. This is different from paint, which sits on the surface and is prone to peeling, flaking, and trapping moisture that can cause damage. Water-based brick stains are often recommended because they are easy to apply, even for DIYers, and they allow the brick to breathe. Avoid using regular paint on brick, as it will not adhere properly and can lead to future maintenance problems.

The main difference between limewash and German schmear is their core ingredient. Limewash is made from crushed limestone, while German schmear uses a mortar base. This affects their application, appearance, and longevity. German schmear involves applying a thin layer of mortar to brick or stone and then partially wiping it off. In contrast, limewash is a type of paint. German schmear is essentially permanent, lasting one to two decades with minimal maintenance, whereas limewash has a shorter lifespan of five to seven years. Cost-wise, German schmear is about $1 to $4 per square foot and is typically only available in white or gray.
