"Great. After seeing how the front porch turned out I decided to have Irving and Randy refurbish the storage/tool building. Ran into issues with the building (old termite damage) however it was repaired and better than new now. It’s no longer a work shed but livable space now. Definitely made the right hire with On The Level. Thanks again!"

"First let me say, they were not the least expensive contractor I talked to. They were one of the three that called back after initial Angi's list contact. They are the ones I felt most comfortable with hiring. A few bumps and oopsies at the start, between getting materials and scheduling but nothing approaching deal breaking. In their defense, I am NAVY trained, and if you say start time is 8AM, I give you a 15 minute window either side of that to be ON STATION READY FOR CALL FOR FIRE. To early is disrespectful, and there is no such thing as "fashionably late" The work it self once started was fantastic. All of them did their best to keep noise and dust to a minimum, and came in did the job and left. I will speak directly about some of the crew that worked on my projects. The crew leader was a gentleman named Ivan. He has one man on his crew named Jose, who did all the inside work. EXTREMELY pleased with Jose's work. Either thru a miss understanding, or a realization of what looked professional, my stair rails are much better than originally planned, because he placed baluster shoes on both the top and bottom of each baluster instead of just the bottom as planned. This gentleman is meticulous in his work, and is also very proud of the work he does, and it SHOWS. If you contract with Requin, ask for Ivan and his crew for your job and then ask Ivan for Jose. (Ivan you need to give him a raise!) So today May 4, they will be over to hopefully finish a few small remaining items. If the rain holds off. I would definitely contract with REQUIN again, and am in fact already considering a couple future projects. Probably won't even worry about a bidding process."

FAQs for fireplace and wood stove service projects in Saint James, LA

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.
