"I originally hired a terrible, terrible plumber. The final thing he was supposed to do was to run black pipe for gas to my oven/range and clean/service my gas furnace. The furnace was taken apart, and all he did was light it, and the pipe was not installed so I could not hook up my range. A great start to moving in to a new house.
I called random names from the phone book to find someone to clean my furnace in a hurry since it was starting to get cold, and had the owner of Yenason Mechanical show up on a Saturday as expected to give me a price on cleaning my furnace. He was friendly and polite, and gave me a price. While he was there, I asked if he could install the black pipe also, and he said he could and that he would also install the range for me. On a whim I asked him if he would also install my new dishwahser, which I was planning on doing myself but not looking forward to. The price he gave me was good, and on that Tuesday morning all the work was finished and everything is still working to this day (8 months later).
Yenason Mechanical was professional and timely, and the price for the work performed was fair. I would not hesitate to hire them again.

"I?ve had them since I moved in here for my air conditioning and heating system. I?ve been here for 2 ? years. The only problem was them diagnosing the exact problem, it took them 4 or 5 times that they came out before they figured out what was wrong. I have a contract with them, so it basically didn?t cost me anything even if they came 10 times. They came right away and they were concerned about trying to figure out what was wrong. It was an intermittent problem, so that was the reason they couldn?t figure it out completely. With the service contract, it didn?t really cost me anything more."

"After other installers botched the installation of my new microwave over the range oven John Pratt from Lifting Lives reinstalled it properly. Which meant venting it to the outside vent and securing it properly to the wall and cabinet."

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.
