"The mark of a good service company is the lack of need to take on an additional project (clean up) after the project is completed. This is definitely the case with CJW Chimney Sweep! Greg and Will placed runners all the way from the front door to the fireplace completely covering the tile and wood floor that was trafficked. In addition the entire fireplace hearth was covered. After their efficient professional work, there was NOTHING left to clean up. This is very highly appreciated which is exactly why we are repeat customers."

"I was impressed with Chuck from Shamrock Chimney. He was realistic in his discussion and went thru various options from converting to a gas fireplace to wood inserts. He discussed the issues with the existing field stone face and converting to a two way fireplace. He certainly made me comfortable to consider Shamrock should the project move forward."

"This was our first experience using Elysium to complete both
interior and exterior painting and repair work. Initially we had only
contracted them to do work on the exterior, being satisfied with the level of
detail and the likability of the crew that we worked with, we opted to sign on
for additional work on the interior of our house.
Exterior: Being new homeowners we wanted to make sure that we were being thorough and getting
the most longevity out of the work that we were investing in. The estimator
that Elysium sent out was very knowledgeable and pointed out failures in the
existing paint job as well as several wood repairs that several other
estimators had failed to recognize.
  There were areas of rotten wood concealed by paint, the estimator did
what she called a ?pen? test and took her ink pen and was able to push it
through the fascia boards on our chimney with no effort. This happened on
several areas of the house that other contractors had failed to discover or
address in their estimates. With the discovery of so much carpentry work
needed, we did see a significant increase in the estimate in terms of cost, in
order to have the longest lasting and best-finished product possible the wood
needed to be replaced, had we not received an estimate from Elysium we may have
not discovered the rotten wood until after another contractor had cut corners
in order to give us a lower price point to close the sale. The work itself was
done thoroughly, prep to finish. Between the color change, board replacement
and concise prep and finish work that Elysium did on our place, it looks like a
brand new house.
Interior:
  Since we were so pleased with the result of the
work being done on our exterior, we had Kevin and his crew complete additional
work on the interior of our home. The tacky wallpaper that had been in our
kitchen when we moved in needed to go. I was going to attempt to remedy its
existence myself; after several hours off attempting to remove the wallpaper
myself I decided to let the professionals handle it.  Underneath the wallpaper the drywall needed to be repaired
in several areas. Elysium was able to smooth out the wall underneath and apply
a fresh coat of paint. They also painted our 2-story foyer and hallways. Elysium completed a lot of work on our house, and it was a
job well done. I would recommend them for any paint project you?ve got!

FAQs for fireplace and wood stove service projects in Genesee, MI

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.
