Chimney Builders

Can you see cracks in the outside of your chimney? Do you have a difficult time opening or closing your flue? Does your living room seem smoky no matter what you do with the flue and damper system? You probably have some sort of problem with your chimney that will require the services of chimney builders.

Normally I recommend searching on the internet for “Chimney Builders” and your location to find any chimney builders. When I typed in “chimney builders” into my Google search box I got six hundred eighty two thousand hits (682,000) in my results. The only problem was that it was not until the third page of results that had an individual chimney building company. All of the rest were lists of chimney builders from sites like local.com, ask.com, yellowpages.com and more.

The first chimney builders I found was a company called Messina Chimney Builders from Rock Tavern, NY. In addition to chimney building services they also offer chimney sweeping services and have a ten ($10) coupon for their chimney weeping service right on their home page. They have a twenty four hour emergency service line and offer payment plans and all insurance is accepted as well.

Some of their chimney building services listed are gas log installation, fire inspection for insurance claims, chimney rebuilds repair or cleaning, installation of wood stoves or fireplaces. Senior citizens should contact Messina Chimney Builders as they offer a senior discount on all services offered.

When rebuilding a chimney or building a new installation they use a liner system from Forever Flex that is warranted by the company “forever” and Messina covers the labor in the event of a warranty claim as long as the original owner has the home. All of their masonry work has a five year parts and labor warranty.

I also found chimney builders that offer services in Ohio, Michigan and Florida. Their company is called Chimney Cricket and offers all of the normal chimney sweeping services but also dryer vent cleaning, gutter cleaning, furnace cleaning, roof cleaning and window cleaning and fireplace chimney cleaning of course.

They are a member of the Better Business Bureau, the National Fire Place Association and the National Chimney Sweep Guild. You can buy anything you can imagine related to chimney repair and installation from Chimney Cricket.

They offer the latest in Chimney Caps and Covers, Crown Coat, Dampers, Doors, Fans, Flashing, Liners, Pots and Restoration Products for DIY. They also sell Firebox Grates, Doors and Fireplaces, Gas Logs, Gutter Guards, Heat Reflectors, Stoves and Smoke Guards.

If you do not have a chimney but want the warmth and added beauty of a wood or gas stove for your living areas, Chimney Cricket can come out and help you make the best choice for your type of home.

Chimney Cricket offers the best models from Napolean Quality Fireplaces in both gas and wood stove models. All Napolean gas models come with a direct vent system so that you do not have to have a chimney to use the stove. If you have a chimney the direct vent system converts with a B-vent adapter that prevents spill with an anti-spill switch and automatic reset as well. In the event of an electricity outage your Napolean stove operates without any electricity so it can provide warmth for your home in the winter in case you lose power.

On the higher end models there is even the Advantage Plus digital remote control that allows you to set the temperature automatically. It can also turn the stove on or off with the touch of a single button and reminds you when to change the battery. There is a child safety feature that locks automatically and you can read the temperature in either Celsius or Fahrenheit.

You can also get the stove in any one of three designer styles and five colors if the standard black matte finish does not suit your décor. You can even add twenty four karat gold overlays to your stove door. The porcelain enamel finishes are applied at 1800 degrees to withstand the hottest interior fires you can make.

The wood burning versions have the same features for venting, finishes and colors as the gas versions. The Cookmate version has a top surface that you can use to boil water and create other dishes he old fashioned way on a wood burning stove.
