Door Installation/Replacement
Framing
Installing a gas fireplace either involves starting from scratch (new construction, addition, etc.), or removing an already existing fireplace and putting a new fireplace in its place. This differs from gas insert projects in that an insert gets retro-fitted into an existing wood fireplace, where a new gas fireplace is in exchange for an old fireplace (if you have one) or framing a new wall to place it in. At a bare minimum these projects include setting the fireplace into framing and venting it through the wall or roof, or can also include gas piping, electrical wiring, removing stone, laying new stone, etc.

Fireplaces
A fireplace isn’t an everyday purchase. In fact, it’s often a once in a lifetime purchase (As long as you don't buy at a Big Box Store like Menard's). As a homeowner, you have dedicated time and money into transforming your house into a home. A fireplace, stove or insert will only enhance the welcoming features, but we understand you’ll have questions and concerns. Don’t worry, you’re not expected to have all the answers – because we do. Our experts are here to listen and guide you every step of the way. Give us a call anytime if you have questions or need assistance:) 517-688-5278
Carpeting
Gas stove installations can usually be installed fairly easily, and sometimes benefit from the infrastructure left by an old wood or pellet stove. These installs normally include the vent pipe, floor protection (gas stoves can sit on tile, brick, etc., but not carpeting, hardwood or vinyl), gas piping, and labor. Expect this to be a one - two day job.

Room Additions
New Construction
Similar to gas fireplace installations, a wood fireplace is either set into a newly framed opening (new construction, additions, etc), or used as a replacement for an old fireplace after it’s torn out. In some cases older wood fireplaces are not big enough for an insert, and replacing it with a new fireplace is the best option. These projects usually include new venting (since old vent pipes are almost never compatible with newer, hotter fireplaces), electrical wiring, etc., and can also include other work such as removal of the old fireplace, stone-work, gas piping, fresh air kits, etc., hence the wide range in pricing.

Residential Roof Repair
Being accurate is especially important if you’ve failed to plan or measure something essential, like a load bearing wall or modifications to your roof. If you install an important feature with the wrong dimensions, it can lead to a number of issues, and you guessed it—additional homeowners insurance claims. For example, say you replace your roof, and a few shingles don’t quite sit flush with the frame of the house. After a major rainstorm, you may notice there is water damage and mold in the attic space. You can file a home insurance claim for the water damage, but when the insurance company finds out you made a mistake with the roof repair, your claim will be denied.

General

Masonry
When a chimney fire occurs in a masonry chimney – whether the flue is an older, unlined type or tile lined to meet current safety codes – the high temperatures at which they burn (around 2000°F) can “melt mortar, crack tiles, cause liners to collapse and damage the outer masonry material”. Most often, thermal shock occurs and tiles crack and mortar is displaced, which provides a pathway for flames to reach the combustible wood frame of the house. This event is extremely dangerous, call 911 immediately.
Electrical Work
When you’re doing a DIY job, like updating plumbing, electrical work or installing a new heating unit, there’s an increased risk for home insurance claims when you make a mistake. Without a permit and licensed contractor, the insurance company considers that the homeowner is being negligent, and the insurance company never pay out claims resulting from negligence. Your coverage could even get cancelled. It's just better to hire a true, LICENSED professional unless you are one.
