A couple of years ago American Professional Chimney performed a fireplace inspection required by my condo association. They did a terrific job -- very thorough and professional. Now, it's time to update the inspection and I will call on them again. Highly recommended.

I have used American Professional Chimney & Masonry Service for a number of years. I have always found them to be professional in their work and behavior, and they clean up thoroughly. We have a wood-burning fireplace in our family room that we use frequently when it's cold, and there's a lot of soot! They make useful suggestions but don't push services. I highly recommend them!

Transforming a Fireplace to Gas

Transforming a Fireplace to Gas At Ampro Chimney & Masonry, we take pride in our ability to transform homes, ensuring both safety and style in every project. Recently, we had the pleasure of working with a client in Hyattsville, Maryland, who wanted to make the switch from a wood-burning fireplace to a gas fireplace. This task included relining their chimney, and we're excited to share the journey and the impressive results! Understanding the Client's Needs When the client first contacted us, they were eager to modernize their fireplace. They had grown tired of the hassle associated with wood-burning stoves, including the mess and maintenance involved. They sought a solution that would provide them with warmth and ambiance while being easier to manage. Our team expertly addressed their desire for a gas fireplace and offered a comprehensive estimate that included options tailored to their needs. The Process of Transformation During our initial consultation, Stefan from our team provided detailed insights into the various options for converting their fireplace. His extensive experience in the industry was visible, as he clearly explained the benefits and procedures for each choice. This level of professionalism laid the foundation for a trusting relationship between us and the client. Steps Taken 1. Chimney Relining: To safely convert the fireplace, we first needed to reline the existing chimney. This crucial step ensures proper ventilation for the new gas logs. 2. Installation: After relining the chimney, we moved forward with installing a vented gas log set. While the gas line installation was coordinated with a separate plumber and the gas company, we made sure that our part of the job was executed flawlessly. 3. Protective Measures: We took extra precautions by tarp and taping up the living room, ensuring minimal disruption and mess in their home. Our team spent over an hour carefully setting up the workspace! 4. Communication and Support: Throughout the process, Stefan maintained open lines of communication, addressing questions from the client, the gas company, and county inspectors. The Final Result After a multi-week process, the fireplace transformation was complete! The client was thrilled with the newly installed gas fireplace. Not only did it look stunning, but it also offered hassle-free operation. The enhanced aesthetics and functionality were evident, making it a focal point in their living room. > “We could not be more satisfied and impressed with the professionalism and level of service from American Professional Chimney. Highly recommend!" — D L. Our commitment to follow-up ensured the client was delighted with their installation. Stefan even made two additional visits to adjust the log arrangement to prevent any sooting issues, demonstrating our dedication to their ongoing satisfaction. Conclusion This remarkable transformation exemplifies the expertise and dedication of our team at Ampro Chimney & Masonry. We take pride in guiding our clients through their home improvement journeys, ensuring they are not only satisfied but delighted with the results. If you're considering upgrading your fireplace or need chimney services, don’t hesitate to contact us. We’d love to help you create your ideal living space!

Restoring a Historic Chimney

Restoring a Historic Chimney At AmPro, we take pride in our commitment to restoring and maintaining the beauty of historic homes. Recently, we had the opportunity to work on a stunning 1896 Queen Anne Victorian in Hyattsville, Maryland, where our team faced the challenge of revitalizing a tall central chimney that services both a fireplace and a furnace. The Before: A Chimney in Distress When our client, Bob S., initially contacted us, he highlighted several issues regarding their chimney that required immediate attention. The structure was not only aging but also had recently experienced a chimney fire in the fireplace flue. Our team understood the urgency of rectifying the situation to ensure the safety of his family and preserve the integrity of this historic property. Our Challenges: - Chimney Fire Effects: The fire had caused significant damage that necessitated a thorough inspection. - Cracked Ceramic Tiles: During our inspection using a camera video, we discovered cracked tiles within the flue system, which posed a safety risk. - Need for Historic Preservation: Being a historic preservationist, Bob was keen on maintaining the authenticity and safety of his Victorian home. The Transformation Process To tackle these challenges, we implemented several steps focused on both restoring the chimney's functionality and ensuring it met modern safety standards. 1. Comprehensive Chimney Cleaning: Our team started with an in-depth cleaning to remove all soot and debris, preparing the chimney for further work. 2. Damper Repair: We fixed the damper, which is crucial for controlling airflow and enhancing the chimney's efficiency. 3. Installation of the Stainless Steel Flue Liner: We installed a stainless steel flue liner for the furnace, providing increased durability and safety. 4. Chimney Rain Caps: To prevent future damage from the elements, we added rain caps on both flues. 5. HeatShield System Installation: After our findings revealed the cracked ceramic tiles, we recommended and successfully installed the HeatShield system, an innovative solution designed to repair and restore both the flue and fireplace smoke chamber, making them safe for continued use. Every step of the way, we prioritized excellent craftsmanship and historical sensitivity, a combination that Bob greatly appreciated. > "Five is simply not enough stars to give Dave Myers and his company, American Professional Chimney and Masonry... his expert advice and skillful installation of this product made us extremely happy." - Bob S. The After: A Safe and Beautiful Chimney The project concluded with a completed chimney that not only met safety standards but also retained the historic character of Bob's beloved home. Our efforts to restore the chimney improved its functionality and extended its lifespan, ensuring peace of mind for the homeowner.
