Fireplace Cleaning
I always get this question: should I get my fireplace cleaned every year?
Well the answer is yes and no. The two main things that get your fireplace dirty are soot (by using it) and a crumbling chimney lining (usually b/c its older than 20yrs).
If your chimney lining is in good shape then your chimney will only get dirty from soot build up b/c of use. In this case the amount of use will indicate if you need to clean annually.
Example: If you use your fireplace an average of 60+ times a year than I recommend a annually cleaning.

I agree with most of the posts... When they call you it’s usually a scam. However, dirt accumulation in your chimney usually is not a result of you having gas or oil boiler. In most cases it’s because the chimney is old and going through a process of erosion where the loose bricks and cement particles break loose in the chimney and block the passageway.
I recommend that you at least get the chimney expected or clean to make certain that your chimney is not blocked.
You can call me at 718-953-2836 for more info.

Hi.
I am an architect and interior designer with over 15 years experience. I have just recently broken away from long time business partner in Manhattan and relocated my practice to Brooklyn - where I have been a resident for six years. I have significant historic preservation, LPC, brownstone/ townhouse renovation, residential design, project direction and construction management experience.
My rates are extremely competitive and you will get the personal attention of the company founder. I made this move to Brooklyn because I wanted to get back to working with my clients instead of managing people as I was at my last company. I would love to help you with your facade restoration project. I am confident that I can the end result will exceed your expectations and meets your budget.
I have a comprehensive portfolio for review. I hope to hear from you.
Regards,
Alan Barr, founder
