"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!"

"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!

"They did a good job. I have an electric fireplace."
Some cities, like New York City, ban wood-burning fireplaces altogether. In places like Colorado and the California Bay Area, laws dictate when you can use your wood-burning fireplace based on air quality. Since regulations vary by location, it's best to consult a local contractor familiar with your area's laws. You can also check the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) website for state ordinances and regulations.
Yes, you can add a fireplace to your existing home, but it requires careful planning and professional evaluation. You'll need to construct a safe chimney, ensure proper ventilation, and comply with local building codes and HOA regulations. This project involves significant structural modifications and specialized labor, so hiring a qualified fireplace contractor is essential to ensure safety and code compliance.
Fireplaces enhance a home's value because they create a warm and inviting atmosphere while adding a distinctive architectural feature. A fireplace not only elevates a residence’s appeal but also contributes to greater market value. Industry research confirms that homes with fireplaces command higher sale prices, and homeowners benefit from an improved living environment.
Yes, installing a fireplace increases your home insurance costs because it raises the risk of fire and may require additional coverage. A fireplace demands dedicated safety inspections and documented maintenance, and insurers enforce stricter requirements, which drive higher premiums. Homeowners must consult their insurance providers and adhere to regular inspection schedules to manage these increased costs.
