"There was a lot of deterioration inside the chimney which made it unsafe to use. Michael and Wayne were very professional and presented us with an estimate for repairs. We have hired them to come back and do the work to insure my fireplace is safe and in good working order."

"Today, 10/13/2022 I had The Mad Hatter come out to do a fireplace inspection & cleaning. They sent Mr. Terry Hill out. He was on time, very professional. He answered any questions I had and he cleaned up after himself. The fireplace was in bad need of cleaning and after he was done, it was beautifully cleaned and ready for winter. Mr. Terry has got to be hands down the nicest technician I have ever hired for ANY job. I will be using them for sure in the future and I appreciate his hard work, honesty and cleanness. Thank you Mr. Terry!"

"The workers did very well with the chimney cleaning and even went out of the way to fix a problem that we'd had with the fireplace insert for over 20 years. However, as they left, they ran into a 20 year old miniature Japanese maple tree and sheared it off at the trunk. The tree was about 7" in diameter, which is quite large for one of these. The workers came in and reported it to my wife and said the company would pay for the damage. It took over a month and several phone calls and emails before they sent a check for reimbursement for the (much smaller) tree that I bought to replace it. The owner avoided me and delayed paying for weeks. My advice is to use OTCS if you don't expect any problem that would require you to interact with the owner. The workers and workmanship were very good."

"After purchasing the deal online late Sat 10/24/15 I received an email from the owner Jan telling me someone could perform the service Monday 10/26/15. I was pleased.  The technician arrived on Monday.  I will spare the technician the embarrassment of most of the details but I was told that I needed a new gas valve...it did not go well.  So much so that I called the owner to tell him we would not be doing business and that I would ask for a refund from Angie's list.  He politely asked for details since this technician was a new hire and that as a business owner it was important to him.  After my explanation he asked if he could please send another technician out the following morning free of charge as he wanted to make this right.  I agreed.  A gentleman named Greg arrived at 9:30 and was directed to my fireplace.  I told him to have at it as I would continue my housework and be within ear shot.  At 9:50 Greg called me into the room and said everything was ready to go explaining that a safety feature had been enabled.  I couldn't believe it!  I was quickly reminded how important it is to speak directly with a business owner in these situations.  So now, not only does Jan's company have my future business for my fireplace needs but also any plumbing needs or any services his business performs.  I was more than happy to cancel my refund request from Angie's list and write this honest and positive review instead!

FAQs for fireplace and wood stove service projects in Birmingham, AL

Start with a professional inspection. If damage is limited to a few bricks or the crown, a targeted repair helps keep costs and disruption to a minimum. Severe leaning, widespread mortar failure, or major fire damage usually signals it’s time for a complete teardown and rebuild. Your contractor will outline both price tags, but remember that rebuilding a failing stack is often cheaper than repeated patch jobs and the water leaks or fire hazards they allow.

Cracks provide water with an easy path into the masonry, weakening the bricks and mortar and increasing the risk of collapse or fire. Gaps can also let hot gases and sparks escape into attic spaces. Call a chimney pro as soon as you see cracking so they can seal small joints or recommend a larger rebuild before minor damage turns into a costly emergency.

Smoke rolling back into the room often indicates a blocked flue, a broken damper, or a drafting issue. Have a sweep inspect the damper, flue liner, and any obstructions right away. Most fixes involve clearing debris, repairing the liner, or adjusting the damper so the fireplace pulls air correctly. Don’t light another fire until a professional pinpoints the cause and confirms your system is venting safely.

Most policies cover chimney repairs caused by a sudden, covered event, such as lightning, a fallen tree, or a house fire. They won’t cover damage that stems from neglected maintenance or everyday wear. Review your policy or contact your agent before scheduling work to determine what documentation your insurer requires and what costs you will be responsible for.

Component life spans vary. Clay tile or cast-in-place liners last close to 50 years, while stainless-steel liners last 15 to 20 years. Mortar requires attention every 25 to 30 years, while crowns last 50 to 75 years. Use these numbers as a maintenance roadmap: schedule regular inspections, budget for future upgrades, and replace parts before age-related cracks develop into more significant problems.
