"Chuck responded fast to my message. He was one of the most honest people I met on Angies. Unlike other chimney sweeps, he said that my chimney is in a good shape and cleaning was no necessary."

"I would HIGHLY recommend Chimney Cricket. I thought the price quote was a bit high on the front end but when I actually saw how extensive the work was it was money well spent. Phil and Brooklyn showed up right on time, were very professional, worked for 8 hours straight with normal breaks and kept the area as clean as possible as they went. Phil told me he has been in this line of work since 1990 and it was obvious he knew his stuff. On the front end Peter and Ginger did a great job with the appointment setting and flexibility that was needed negotiating the contract. I had been using another fireplace company for 10 years who stopped returning calls. Glad I stumbled upon Chimney Cricket on Angie's List. All in all this company has my full endorsement."

"The person who came was very knowledgeable and friendly. He did a great job and he was nice. I ended up needing help with the electrical switch on the fireplace. We are very satisfied with them."

"Al came out initially on time (early actually!) was exceptionally professional and gave a tiered quote on work that "needs" to be done and "could" be done with fair pricing. We scheduled the work for a later date and Al returned and did a fantastic job! He was punctual (again) and efficient-completing all the agreed upon work in a timely manner. He also plugged a hole in the back of our fireplace we didn't know about until we removed the wood burning stove and filled extra cracks on the chimney after capping it. I would definitely hire him again and have even referred him to some friends and relatives... 5+ stars from a very happy customer!"

"Chimney Joe is wonderful.I needed the crack in the back wall of my fireplace repaired and Joe came out (after I’d talked to several chimney services ;of which I didn’t like),and told me what was wrong and what I needed to do . He is honest, straight forward , and quick.We ordered new panels for the walls of the fireplace Joe installed them in 45 minutes and we were back in business that evening. My husband and I enjoyed our Fireplace and we haven’t had a problem since ! Chimney Joe will service our fireplace from now on ."

Customers say: Quality work
"Joe was WONDERFUL! We have four gas fireplaces and each hadn't been used in over 8 years. Each one had a different issue and he was able to correctly diagnose and repair each one all within a single afternoon. The fireplace in the basement was as old as our house and he was still willing and able to get it working again despite other supposed fireplace "experts" who tried and failed in earlier attempts. I can not recommend Joe highly enough! Honest, incredibly knowledgeable, hard-working, and friendly. Wish we could have given more stars!"
Some cities, like New York City, ban wood-burning fireplaces altogether. In places like Colorado and the California Bay Area, laws dictate when you can use your wood-burning fireplace based on air quality. Since regulations vary by location, it's best to consult a local contractor familiar with your area's laws. You can also check the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) website for state ordinances and regulations.
Yes, you can add a fireplace to your existing home, but it requires careful planning and professional evaluation. You'll need to construct a safe chimney, ensure proper ventilation, and comply with local building codes and HOA regulations. This project involves significant structural modifications and specialized labor, so hiring a qualified fireplace contractor is essential to ensure safety and code compliance.
Fireplaces enhance a home's value because they create a warm and inviting atmosphere while adding a distinctive architectural feature. A fireplace not only elevates a residence’s appeal but also contributes to greater market value. Industry research confirms that homes with fireplaces command higher sale prices, and homeowners benefit from an improved living environment.
Yes, installing a fireplace increases your home insurance costs because it raises the risk of fire and may require additional coverage. A fireplace demands dedicated safety inspections and documented maintenance, and insurers enforce stricter requirements, which drive higher premiums. Homeowners must consult their insurance providers and adhere to regular inspection schedules to manage these increased costs.
