"Omar and his crew of brothers did an excellent job. Not only did they clean my chimney, they also replaced chimney liners for my wood boiler and also my oil burner. They did this all in the first service at my home. They removed and replaced professionally my unsafe liners immediately after informing me that the liners were unsafe. That is what I call excellent service. I didn’t have to try to sleep one single night knowing my heating liners were unsafe. I look very forward to the professional maintenance that McBrien’s Fire and Flue will provide me in heating my home safely. I can rest easily knowing my home is safe with regular cleaning and maintenance planned with OBrien’s Fire and Flue! Thank you Omar and the entire crew!"
"Ryan, Jack and Tucker were absolutely wonderful. The work they did was beyond my expections and their customer service was above and beyond. A very happy customer"
"They installed the flue and came as quickly as they could. Overall, they did a great job, were professional and cleaned up well after themselves, even coming back to trouble shoot an issue late last night."
"Drew a great job! A pleasure to work with, he even regraded our driveway so it no longer feels like driving up a cliff every time we pull up😀 super pleased and it looks great"

Fire Pit Installation questions, answered by experts
Start by checking the top or side edge of the door. Look for a certification label or metal tag stamped with details like the fire rating and information on the manufacturer. Even if it’s painted over, the tag should still be visible. Next, look along the edges for slim intumescent strips. They’re designed to swell up and seal gaps when exposed to heat. Finally, check if the door closes itself. Most fire doors have a self-closing mechanism, like an overhead closer or spring hinges. If none of these are obvious, contact a fire safety professional to help verify your door.
Ensure you have a safe environment for them to work on, and there aren’t items such as logs, build-up of yard materials, missing or damaged shingles, and weak areas on the roof. Communicate any known electrical issues with contractors at the beginning of the project, and consider hiring an electrician to fix those. Finally, if you are attempting the project yourself, do so when there isn’t any rain, and you can safely get your footing on the roof using proper equipment, such as an extension ladder. Don’t attempt this alone, and have a helper nearby to assist.
Your smoke detector might be too high in some homes or circumstances to reach yourself. If you feel unsafe getting on a ladder to replace your hardwired smoke detector, call a licensed electrician or local handyman to knock this project off your to-do list. If you have a battery-operated smoke detector, your local fire department can change the batteries or help you replace the detector—just make sure you call the non-emergency number.
In any case, do not let this project go unresolved, as it could turn into a huge safety issue.
There aren’t many problems with fire doors except that they slow down or cut off ventilation at the higher rating levels. For this reason, work with a professional to ensure you have adequate ventilation throughout your house or workspace. The sealing around a fire door is meant to allow for a specific amount of ventilation and will need regular inspections to ensure adequate airflow.
No, a chirping smoke alarm is usually a sign of an issue with the power supply of the unit. This is easily solved by replacing the battery to stop the smoke alarm from beeping. If the chirp continues, review the owner’s manual to determine the cause. These chirps are short and not as loud as the beeping of the alarm itself. If you can’t tell the difference, it’s best to treat it like an activated alarm until you find the cause.
