"The team at Fireworx installed a gas fireplace insert for me. From the initial consultation and estimate with Bobby to the install with Andrew and Daniel was flawless. They were professional, clean, and came in under my budget. I’d highly recommend them for anyone looking for fireplace installations."

Shan-Gri-La Sod Farm is family-owned and operated that started in 1939 as a poultry farm in Willow Grove, PA by my Grandfather Dewey H. Bunch, Sr. In 1967 my father, Dewey H. Bunch, Jr., purchased our farm in beautiful Bucks County, PA and began growing sod. My brother, sisters, and I all worked side by side in the fields with my mother and father learning about the importance of family and hard work, as well as the commitment required to establish and maintain a successful small family business. In 1990 I began the landscape construction division to satisfy customers wanting to deal with one qualified contractor for all of their outdoor needs. We are E.P. Henry authorized paver installers and have had photos of our projects in their catalog each year since 2005. We are currently on E.P Henry's Website where one of our projects is featured as a virtual tour! In 2002, my wife Beth and I purchased the business. Together with our dedicated staff, we still maintain the strong family traditions established over 70 years ago while continuing to adapt to the needs and desires of our modern customers. Today, our son and daughter work on the farm just as my siblings and I did growing up. Fourth generation? We’ll see! Super Service Award winner for 2016, 2015, and 2014. Please call us today to schedule your appointment - (215) 766-7208 or email us at chip@shangrilafarm.com

Juan C Rivera LLC provides exceptional landscaping services, specializing in design, maintenance, and outdoor improvements to enhance the beauty and functionality of residential and commercial properties!
"Such a shame that a local business would end up being a scam. This is why people turn away from local companies. Juan Rivera provided us a scope of work to clean up our landscaping and add more stone where needed. Also was to reset the plastic edging that divides the grass from the stone. We agreed to estimate and he did not finished the project but definitely took all the money. Agreed to come out to finish the items he admitted in text were missed. Set a day and time and then never showed up. Has ghosted us since. Filed complaints with agencies. Considering next steps since I do not take kindly to taking money and not completing what was agreed upon. Scam artist for side."

Yes, permits are required for fireplace removal projects since they often involve structural modifications. These permits ensure the work meets local building codes and maintains your home's structural integrity. Permit costs range from $100 to $1,000, depending on your location and project complexity.
While contractors often handle permit applications, it's wise to confirm this is included in their service. Check with your local building department before starting any work to avoid potential complications.
The impact on home value varies by location and market preferences. In colder climates or luxury markets, removing a fireplace might decrease appeal and value. However, in warmer regions or homes with efficient heating systems, the impact may be negligible. In some cases, the additional usable space created by removing an underutilized fireplace actually enhances functionality and appeal. Consider consulting with a local real estate professional before proceeding to understand potential impacts in your specific market.
Fireplace removal project timelines vary based on complexity. Basic insert removals may take one to two days, while more extensive projects involving full chimney and fireplace demolition require five to 14 days. Masonry fireplace removal takes three to four days for the demolition phase alone, with additional time needed for structural repairs and finishing work. Weather conditions, unexpected structural issues, and inspection scheduling can all extend the overall timeline.
Yes, but removing a fireplace from a load-bearing wall requires specialized structural engineering expertise. The process involves installing temporary support structures, removing the fireplace, and adding permanent structural reinforcements such as steel beams or headers. Due to the structural complexity and safety concerns, this type of removal should never be attempted without professional expertise. Improper removal could lead to serious structural damage to your home.
