"Anthony serviced my gas fireplace in October. Recently I had some concerns about how the fireplace was performing. I called Anthony and he made the time in his schedule to come to assess the issue. He checked his previous work and explained that what was happening is common in vent free gas fireplaces. He is an honest and hardworking young man who is striving to build his company. He is doing all the right things to make that happen."

"Tried to engage several other companies to complete my project. Very glad none of the others worked out. Shamrock always arrived when they said they would, performed their service with excellence without drama. Very responsive. Others were providing estimates of weeks of lead time. Shamrock completed their work in less than two. If you have work coming up, would strongly advise resisting the urge to waste time by talking to anyone else than Shamrock. They are a pre-eminent company among their peers."

"The project was very successful. Felgemacher listened to our needs and we developed a joint plan for staging the project. The work was professionally done in a timely manner. When we found a small gas leak in one of the fireplaces that was caused by poor assembly at the fireplace factory, they quickly found the source and corrected it. We are pleased with the results."

"Two guys came over to check out my problem of venting smell. They were very professional and knowledgeable. They took apart my entire gas fireplace cleaned and made sure everything was working correctly. Problem with smell was fireplace was hardly used and smell was new fireplace smell when lit. We need to give it more burn time to get rid of smell. Only charged me for servicing cleaning very reasonable. Came right on time also!!! They were great!👍"

"This company came to clean my chimney. I believe that is not their main job. I told them I just purchased the house and they should have made sure I knew how to use it properly. They charged me for a video service cleaning I did not see. They should show you what they see. They did not check my flu, or if they did they mentioned nothing about it. I asked them about the size, if it was suitable and they said they it was small and the fire might come out the top and how to put the wood in. I wish they could have given more information. Also, they could have told me that the grate was broken instead of putting it back in. Finally, they emptied their shop vac on my driveway and tried to clean it up. It was a mess. I would not hire them for cleaning a fireplace."

FAQs for fireplace and wood stove service projects in Lancaster, NY

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.
