"Used their services twice, new chimney install and cleaning/inspection. Professional and friendly service. Reasonably priced. Performed quality work. Accommodating to our schedule needs. Offered good stove maintenance advice. Highly recommend."
"They were clean, and efficient and told us the same thing another Chimney service told us last year about some repairs. Joe is a nice guy and knows what he's doing. Ask for Joe if you need work done."
"Mike Haskin provided wonderful service. Being able to schedule the appointment on-line for next-day service and also having Mike call from his cell phone for confirmation made for a very efficient experience. When I told Mike I had a time crunch, he arrived early, with an extra worker, and was in and out of my house in less than 20 minutes! And the fireplace is clean and burning wood with no smoke. Great job!"
Burning a single palm tree stump, if you’re careful, is technically doable DIY. However, you should always take precautions to control the fire and do research if you’re burning multiple types of trees.
Some trees, such as ornamental trees, black cherry, and some oak trees, release toxins into the air when burned that can be irritating to your lungs (or even dangerous) to breathe in.
Smoke smell and odors typically will not go away completely on their own, especially once the particles have penetrated porous materials like walls, floors, ceilings, and furniture. While airing out affected items can help the smell subside over time, it often lingers for months or even years. To effectively remove stubborn smoke odors, you should combine several methods. Start with a thorough deep cleaning and deodorizing using substances like baking soda or activated charcoal. Air purifiers can also help capture airborne particles. In severe cases, you may need to replace heavily damaged materials. If the smell persists after repeated treatments, consider hiring a professional smoke damage restoration company for assistance.
DIY is not recommended due to the complexity and potential structural issues. Hire professionals for thorough and safe repairs.
Yes, most homeowners insurance policies cover fire damage and restoration, provided the fire was not set intentionally or caused by negligence. Accidental fires, such as those from electrical issues, cooking, or gas, are typically covered. Your policy will usually cover emergency services like roof tarping, the full cost of remediation and rebuilding, and may also cover alternative housing while your home is being restored. You will be responsible for paying your policy's deductible. It is important to check your policy details to see how coverage is calculated—it may be for the full replacement cost of damaged items or the actual cash value, which accounts for depreciation. To expedite your claim, contact your insurance company immediately and have all necessary documentation ready.
Call 911 immediately. If you have a fire extinguisher or fire blanket near the laundry room, you can attempt to extinguish the fire, but don’t open or touch the dryer. If you can’t put the fire out, evacuate yourself, your family, and your pets from the house, closing the laundry room door behind you. Turn off the electricity to your home via the outside fuse box, then wait for the fire department. After a dryer fire, have your home’s electrical system inspected to make sure there isn’t any damage.
