"I had Chimney Cricket out for a quote. The workman was very knowledgeable and I was ready for them to perform the work. They entered my home, reviewed the fireplaces, and told me how they would fix them. After that, I called and called. I called the gentleman who came to provide the quote. He couldn't help me. I called the office again and again. They said they would get me a quote. One never arrived. I had another company come out and repair the problems while still waiting for Chimney Cricket to continue the engagement. I finally got a call from the office (after I had had the work done) and she said she was following up on the quote. The quote they had never sent. The workman seemed knowledgeable, but I took the day off and let workmen into my house just so that I would spend time chasing them and STILL never receive a quote. If they cannot even get me quote, what are the chances they would show up to do the repair? Or follow up if something went wrong?"

Pool Cleaning and Maintenance.
"In October 2018 The Pool Guys of Tampa bay AKA TampaPoolPro.com did a resurface of my pool. The staining on the surface after their work was dreadful and very noticeable. See pictures. After months of complaining on my part and months of obfuscation and outright ignoring my emails they reluctantly came and drained pool, without any notification to me and did something to the surface. The stains were worse, see pictures. I would not do business with these people again. The first pix is the first resurfacing, the second is the second resurfacing."

Yes, a well-executed fireplace remodel can lift resale value by giving the whole room an instant focal point. Swapping dated brick for light stone tile, adding integrated lighting, or upgrading the mantel turns a tired feature into a modern showpiece that buyers notice. While returns vary by market, most real estate professionals agree that a fresh, code-compliant fireplace helps listings stand out and can nudge sale prices higher than a comparable home with an outdated unit.
You must hire an NFI-certified mason or general contractor to install your fireplace. Experts holding NFI and WETT certifications guarantee a secure installation with precise attention to safety and performance. These professionals complete every phase with defined expertise, ensuring that electrical, structural, and combustion components comply with strict safety standards, which enhances your home’s overall integrity.
Rebuilding a fireplace demands a distinct investment based on the unit type and project scope. An electric fireplace rebuild costs very little, while restoring a wood-burning fireplace requires tens of thousands of dollars for specialized labor and materials. This higher investment ensures complete structural renewal, enhanced safety, and a substantial increase in your home’s overall value.
