"The cleaning went well and the fireplace brick repair and replace was more involved. Alan did a great job and offered solutions for cutting the new brick and keeping the look nice and safe. I'd definitely hire him again!"

"Dave and his brother did an excellent job installing our new fireplace insert. Dave matched the existing old rocks so that you cannot tell which are new except for the undried cement which is still a little darker."

"Mr. Elder is the owner of AAA Fireplaces and did not preform the cleaning project his employee Ron did the actual cleaning. Ron was on time, friendly, knowledgable and ready to work. He got right to the task at hand and was able to answer all my questions regarding our 25 year old Lopi insert. He spread tarps to protect the surroundings and took every precautions regarding ashes. He removed the stove carefuly and cleaned it thoroughly and did not seem to mind me observing his work. Based on my experiance I would recomend AAA to anyone,"

"The fireplace installed was very nice and for the most part I was happy with the gas fireplace itself. The down side of the installation was that finding a source for the electricity required for the firebox left me with two large holes drilled in my bedroom wall in order to reach the fire box to provide the electricity needed for its operation. I ended up with two holes because the first attempt did not successfully reach the fireplace so another hole was drilled about 1 foot from that. These holes are about 1" - 2" in size. The need to drill was discussed prior to the installation and I understood the need to find an electrical source and I agreed with using my bedroom because the original proposed site was right next to the fireplace and would have looked unsightly when completed. I must admit that I had no idea how unsightly these holes were going to look prior to giving the go ahead. In retrospect I think they need to do a much better job on the electrical portion of the installation and include using both an electrician to properly wire the box for its electrical needs and a drywall person to repair any sheetrock damage done to complete the installation. Their proposed use of a cable cover over these large holes doesn't properly address the problem and degrades their workmanship"

"Overall, the project went very well. Jose, Dan, and their crew were amazing in their professionalism, craftsmanship, and providing solutions to unexpected challenges. The only drawback would be the manufacturers delays getting the product that we selected. The delays were outside the control of The Paver Company. They were very cost competitive and we would hire them again."

"A large 60+foot tree fell on our garage earlier this winter. Jim's company immediately came out to help support the beams and cover the roof while they worked on getting the plans and permit in order to begin the construction process. He worked with our insurance company to make sure everything was handled and paid quickly. We appreciated Jim's responsiveness, attention to detail, and his willingness to listen and take the time to explain the process."
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.
