"Sta-Built was the only company of the four contacted that followed through with a bid. They have great references. Ryan helped with the design. We did not think to include lighting and it was an excellent suggestion and decision. Hector and his crew showed up as scheduled and finished the job in two days. Hector assisted in making the right paver and color choices. We couldn't be happier with the end result. We will definitely hire again!"

"The project included a purchase of a new fireplace and a remodel of the mantel and fireplace surround.  I contracted with Jake of Scatter Creek Construction earlier in the year for a roofing repair/remodel and was highly satisfied with the project. This project required three phases. First the removal of the old mantel and surround as well as the preparation for removal of the old fireplace.  The second phase was the installation of the new fireplace.  The third was remodel of the fireplace wall including a mantel, tile surround, and box insert for the multimedia center.    Scatter Creek was contracted for phase 1 and 3.  A local fireplace retailer handled phase 2.  Jake and I met to review the conceptual design and plan the work.  He explained the work breakdown structure, sequence of events, and the expected time frames to complete the different work activities.   The primary materials needed were to select the type of tile for the fireplace surround and the wood type and design for the mantel shelf.  I did most of my research on the web, went to local home improvement stores to view the tiles and mantels we had in mind, and sent pictures and web links to Jake for him to provide the bid. He estimated that the project work would take less than a week to complete. Jake was hard to get hold of and, when I questioned if he was interested in the project, he finally got back to me. Because of the delay in getting the bid finalized we missed an opportunity for the fireplace installer consequently delaying the project for 25 days.  I removed all the furnishings in the room except for the couch and love seat, which Jake offered to move.  When Jake arrived for the room prep he was not equipped to move the furniture but covered it instead.  My wife fretted over the furniture for the duration of the project. Jake was responsible for the fireplace removal prior to the fireplace installation.  When the fireplace installer arrived the fireplace hadn't been removed.  Fortunately the fireplace retailer worked with us and convinced his installer to remove the old unit for an additional price.  Jake offered an apology and covered the costs but did not provide a good reason for the mix up.  The wall construction and tiling was dirty work and although Jake cleaned up some at the end of each day there was still a considerable amount of dust throughout the house.  At one point I had to inform Jake that the dirt left on the brand new fireplace during the tile and grout work left me pretty frustrated with the process.  The job also took three weeks to complete which didn't seem unreasonable considering the work performed but definitely was disappointing for my wife who felt she was promised one week to complete. At the conclusion of the project the outcome came out just as I had visualized and what Jake had convinced me he could do in his proposal.  I thought the pricing was fair, the craftsmanship was superior, and we are enjoying our remodeled living space.   Although the outcome was a success, the process had it's flaws with miscommunications, an over promise and under delivery on completion date, and at times the poor condition of the area of the house being worked on."

Fireplaces FAQs, answered by experts

When your fireplace is not in use for longer periods of time, such as over the summer, you can keep smells at bay by spraying either a commercial fireplace deodorizing product or a blend of one part distilled white vinegar to one part water around the walls of the fireplace. 

Or, you can place a container of charcoal inside the fireplace to absorb odors. Just be sure to remove it before it’s time to start using the fireplace again.

The short answer is yes, as hearths need to extend a certain distance out from the fire. This is usually around at least a foot in front but is often more, closer to two feet even. There is another distance to consider, which is the distance beyond the opening of the fireplace. Each municipality will have different code requirements. 

Backdraft is usually caused by a ventilation or pressure problem. To stop it, you need to replace the air your fireplace draws out through the chimney, so open a window to try and increase the airflow. Sometimes turning on a kitchen or bathroom exhaust fan can help, but they could also be the cause of the backdraft depending on the air pressure inside your home. You may need to install a makeup air system (MUAS) or chimney fan.

Gas-powered fireplaces seem to be the most desirable type for homebuyers, per a Redfin report on homebuying trends. That said, any fireplace that has been maintained well and is in safe, working condition could be a draw for buyers, regardless of whether it uses wood logs, propane, or electricity as fuel.

Yes, it’s worth capping a chimney. Here are several reasons to install a chimney cap:

  • Keep out rain, snow, wildlife, and other debris

  • Help prevent chimney fires

  • Reduce your chimney’s exposure to moisture

  • Maintain your chimney flue liner

  • Help reduce energy bills by helping regulate your home’s temperature
