"They were good but it took them a while to show up for the last part of the job. The first part of the job they showed up and did everything but getting the last part of the job done took quite a while. We had to have the oil tanks removed, for that we had someone else to come back; it was a whole year later. We should have got a date ahead of time, like if I could say I need this by then and have it done that way or if the company gave a date and said that they would have it done by this time they should do it."

"We have a coal/wood burning stove in our living room. We use it heavily to supplement the heat provided by an oil furnace. Knowing that chimney fires and carbon monoxide poisoning are a hazard when chimneys are not cleaned and maintained properly, we hire Paul White, owner of Absolute Chimney Services, every year to inspect and clean our chimney. Do not confuse this business with another in the area that has a letter "z" in the name. There is no "z" in Absolute!
Mr. White always responds to our calls in a courteous, timely fashion. He schedules the service at a time that is convenient to us. He works quietly, quickly and cleanly with minimum disruption to our home and schedule. A lot of soot and dust can accumulate in a chimney in a year, but we never find any of it in our home after Mr. White cleans the chimney. He covers the area where he works and cleans up thoroughly when he is done. If he finds a problem, he will take a photo and show it to us to help explain what needs to be done. He never pressures us to buy additional services or parts. 
We sleep better at night knowing that our home is protected from chimney fires and carbon monoxide leaks because of yearly cleaning and inspection by Absolute Chimney Services. For safety's sake, have your chimney cleaned and inspected yearly, especially if you have a wood or coal burning stove. Don't wait until cold weather to make the call. You will probably receive faster service if you make your appointment before "heating season" begins.

"They really did an exceptional job. The deck rebuild was a complicated job. The deck wasn’t built correctly originally so CM Contracting had to extensively modify the structure. They really did a great job. The deck looks really great, and I think I now have the strongest deck in the Lehigh Valley. The chimney work was a big concern of mine going into the job. The previous owner of the house let the chimney cap rust, and the rust stains ran down the Dryvit. It really looked bad. Chris worked with his paint supplier to get the color to match perfectly. He had Sherwin Williams out to my house on several occasions because Chris wanted it done right. It far exceeded my expectations, and now looks perfect. The caulking and power washing all went well too. I would highly recommend CM Contracting. Chris is very responsive. We would communicate often via phone or txt. His crew is great too. Very polite and friendly."

"Everything turned out well. The person that came did a fine job. He did say he would call between noon and five and he showed up at six but that was okay given how busy he was. He did not have the sensor on his truck and he said that was due to each sensor being different. They did clean the sensor and it is a temporary fix. They did the same repair a month ago and they have ordered the part. This was same day service and he was very busy."

"The gentleman who came to inspect my roof showed up for the scheduled appointment and even called out of courtsey to tell me when he was running a few minutes late.  When I decided to hire them to come and repair my chimney I didn't have as great experience.  I sent back the contract and after weeks of waiting and no word from them, I called to set up an appointment to have the work done.  They were able to get me in their schedule a few weeks after I called.  The secretary told me that someone would call me to confirm the appointment and given me a start time for that day.  I received no phone call, nor did anyone show up to perform the job.  I also did not receive a phone call stating that they were unable to keep the scheduled appointment.  If you decide to hire them, don't take off work because they are coming...there's a chance they may be a no show.  After another week of waiting, I decided to call and see what the story was and they told me someone would be out within the next two days.  I told them that I would not be taking off work again, but if I knew when they were coming I'd have a family member be at the house.  I didn't get a phone call or an email stating that the job was completed.  Days later I just received the invoice in the mail that stated that the job was completed.  When I went outside and looked at my chimney it was completed however, a phone call, email or some form of communication sure would have been nice and in my opinion professional.

FAQs for brick or stone fireplace repair projects in Effort, PA

Permit requirements for fireplace insert removal vary by location and project scope. While removing an electric insert rarely requires permits, gas insert removals often do because they involve modifications to gas lines. Some municipalities also require permits for changes to structural elements or venting systems. Check with your local building department before beginning your project. Professional fireplace services typically handle permit acquisition as part of their package.

Removing a fireplace insert can potentially impact your home's value. Since fireplaces are desirable features in many housing markets, removing an insert (especially if it eliminates the fireplace's functionality) might negatively affect your property value. If you're planning to sell your home soon, consider keeping the fireplace intact. For homeowners planning to stay long-term, the potential energy efficiency gains from removing an inefficient fireplace might outweigh future resale considerations.

The time required to remove a fireplace insert depends on several factors, including the type of insert, its installation complexity, and whether structural modifications are needed. Professional removal services can typically complete the job in a single day, though complex situations involving gas lines, electrical work, or structural changes may require additional time. Your removal specialist should provide a time estimate based on your specific situation.

Many fireplace inserts contain recyclable materials, particularly metal components that can be processed at scrap facilities. Working inserts in good condition, especially wood-burning models, might have resale value. Before disposal, consider checking with recycling centers, architectural salvage shops, or online marketplaces to explore options for giving your old insert a second life. This approach can be both environmentally responsible and potentially offset some of your removal costs.
