One of the best places to do this was to eliminate masonry fireplaces in favor of factory built fireplaces that took 1/5th the time and were roughly a third of the cost compared to traditional masonry fireplace systems.</p>https://dev.aschimney.noqa.io/blog/hidden-dangers-of-your-fireplace/Sat, 16 Oct 2021 00:00:00 -0500https://dev.aschimney.noqa.io/blog/hidden-dangers-of-your-fireplace/<h2 id="do-i-need-to-have-my-chimney-cleaned-every-year">Do I need to have my chimney cleaned every year?</h2> <p>Customers will ask me if it is necessary to clean their chimney yearly and my answer never sways: it&rsquo;s always a <strong>yes</strong>.</p> <p>One of the most common questions I get is: I only have a few fires a year, do I still need an inspection and cleaning?

I was born and raised on the north side of Madison and have been working in the masonry industry since I was in middle school. My great grandfather came from Italy and owned a small grocery store in the Greenbush area of Madison for many years. Inspired to own his own business, my father decided to start a masonry business after many years of working for the university and area contractors. He was a favorite on the job site because he worked hard and perfection was his goal. Any time I was not in school or when he had a weekend job, I was working beside him. He taught me what it means to work hard, to appreciate a job well done and to always be on time.</p>https://dev.aschimney.noqa.io/book-online/Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000https://dev.aschimney.noqa.io/book-online/<h2 id="how-booking-works">How booking works</h2> <ol> <li><strong>Pick a service and a preferred day.</strong> Morning or afternoon, whichever suits you.</li> <li><strong>We confirm.</strong> Ryan reviews every request personally and confirms the arrival window by email, usually the same day.
