"Work accomplished earlier than expected, they called with earlier appointment when someone cancelled. Showed up as scheduled and did an excellent job. Use a tarp in front of fireplace to prevent getting carpet dirty. Justin and his new helper, Justin, both professionals."

"Hunter was very knowledgeable, courteous, and most of all professional. He worked with me to get my appointment scheduled although his schedule was booked. He continued to communicate with me about the possible issues/causes of my chimney problem so that he would be prepared with the right equipment and parts on arrival. He arrived when he said he would and completed the job to my satisfaction. He went above and beyond what I expected. I would definitely use him again for any chimney issues I have. I will also recommend him to my neighbors who may also have issues with their chimneys. I was impressed with his workmanship."

"In our move to Foley the bases on two of my porcelain lamps were broken.  It was very difficult to find someone in this area who repaired lamps.  Mathes Lighting (which is one of the worst lighting stores I have ever seen-they are totally commercial-no wiring, don't sell shades, etc.) said that knew no one in the area.  Also called a decorator thinking they might have a name but to no avail. I persevered and finally found Sam and his company Help Around The House.  He was listed under handyman/restoration work but it did list lamp repair.  I called and he said he certainly did.  (I called Mathes and the decorator back and gave them Sam's number.  He has now had numerous calls about repairing lamps.)  At any rate he was working close by so I took the lamps to him along with the one with the broken socket.  It took him  a while to fix the bases because he had a hard time finding the decorative bases for the lamps that didn't have a huge price tag.  But, he too, persevered and found the perfect bases at an excellent price.  He delivered the lamps to my house and I am very pleased with them.
He charges $25 a lamp plus materials.  I think that is very reasonable.
He apparently can do any kind of renovation work, build cabinets, etc. but I only used him for lamps so that is all I can comment on.
I would highly recommend him for fixing lamps-both the decorative part and rewiring.

"Dan drove out to Cottage Woods drive an hour early rapping at the door since notice I was home! He hopped up the stairs and studied the spot I had questions about. Dan brought an additional spot to my attention I hadn’t even noticed in my bathroom. He promptly went outside and grabbed his supplies, while my cats watched from the kitchen window. Dan was outside for maybe ten minutes, when he popped back inside with the rusty nail culprit thy had caused my leak!! To my surprise, Dan did not charge me a darn thing, but said to call him when I needed him again, and then he sciddaddled out the door! What a great experience!"

FAQs for fireplace and wood stove service projects in Jay, FL

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.
