I am in the process of selling my house, and i have run into a snag. Jackson TWP requires a separate "Fireplace Inspection" in order to get a CCO when you sell. I called a company last week who came into my house to clean and inspect it. After 2.5 mins in my house (he just finished putting the blanket down) he looks up into the fire place and says to me you sure you want this cleaned? Of course i asked him why, which he then told me was a waste of time because the damper and pipe are "Rusted out". Now being a frantic home owner at the time I of course ask how much is the repair, with that he tosses me a number in the ballpark of $5,000-$7500, charges me $110 (for two mins in my house) and tells me someone from the company will get me a written appraisal in 7-10 days. Now Im a machinist by trade, i never work on fireplaces i never claim to, but i do know metal, and i have yet to see the "Rusted out" part anywhere. there are a couple small spots of rust flakes no larger than a quarter each. I even tossed on a mask and some safety glasses so i could get up close and personal with it. I tugged on it, pushed on it, tried to break the rust spots and then even continued with some "punching" jsut to see if could find anything that was loose or rotted, NOTHING. Does anyone on here know a little more about these things? is there something im missing? My plan is to get a second opinion but tossing away hundred dollar bills is not really in the cards right now with all the other money i have put out to sell this damn thing. Also he told me this "soft quote" was for them cutting a large hole in the back of my house pulling out the firebox and replacing everything and then new masonry work. WHY? its a metal pipe that goes straight to the roof? It sounds like to me they are looking to strum up some business but im really just looking for some advice if anyone knows a little more.

Just called NJ natural Gas $15 to change my name, go figure!!!

thats what i was wondering so nvm. Thanks for the good info guys ill give them a call.

shes being civil, but not that civil lol, i will get it back in 12 months but im a little tapped right now from this divorce and they refuse to let u split up the 270, she told it "must be payed in one shot or you wont get it back".

tried u cant, there ridiculous.

lol i have no perfect score that is for sure but a "two bill" deposit for a 700 score seems a little heavy considering all there doing is typing in a name. plus there was no reason at all to treat me like a criminal on the phone.

Im getting a divorce and im keeping my house (+1 for me wooOo), i called to switch the electric into my name and they want a $270 deposit!!!! WTF!?!?!? Does anyone use someone different? I dont care if the other company requires a deposit its more about principal, the nasty girl on the phone was talking to me like I was some A hole and really pissed me off.

i saw some great videos on youtube with using Kydex. You can actually heat it and mold it, but it was for the style above. http://www.mcmaster.com/#rubber-u-channels/=qyry84http://www.mcmaster.com/#rubber-u-channels/=qyry84 idk where you looked but they may have some other stuff here for you, mcmaster has everything. PS i love the rubber channel idea!

Not trying to stir the pot, but why should OP have to pay for something that he didn't do wrong? +1^

Hes trying to say in the article this is not your "run of the mill BB gun" bc a "bb gun couldn't take down a deer" but this terrible WMD that this man bought on amazon can.
