"Although we had no experience in the process of selecting and purchasing granite, Pacific Stone and Tile were pretty solid in their guidance, measurement and eventual installation process. Certain aspects of the project like determining if a backsplash is desired, what type of edge would look good and most importantly the selection of the specific stone are tricky but PS&T were very helpful and their sales contact Sal provided great insight into the options on both an aesthetic and practical level.
Some practical things we never considered (i.e. don't add a backsplash if you intend to tile above as the transition is clumsy looking) and the edging and corner transitions were presented and discussed to our satisfaction and a really nice result.
A couple of very important things to consider... this company is headquartered in Massachusetts and IMHO it is ESSENTIAL to see the stone in person to ensure your selection is consistent with your preferences and expectations. We live in NW Connecticut so it was a 90 minute drive, but so glad we made the trip. They have the whole slab there and Sal walked us thru the yard and pointed out the unique nature of certain lots and had a piece of wood which matched our cabinets to support our selection. You can also see the edge options and corner cut options so I'd strongly encourage a visit to their showroom.
The workmanship is excellent, the interaction as we moved thru the process of stone selection, measuring and subsequent installation was also pretty good. I'd give them an 'A' overall and would certainly suggest the company to others.

"They came on time (within the window) and went straight to work. One person went on the roof to inspect the outside of the chimney, and the cover. The other came inside and cleaned out the ashes on the floor of the fireplace. 5 Star also did the actual sweeping. Afterwards they vacuumed all around the fireplace, and provided me with a written estimate for work to the inside and out of the chimney. The entire visit only took an hour or so, and I felt they were very thorough."

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.
