Top 3 Reasons You Need a Fireplace Cover or Screen

We all love lighting a big roaring fire in our hearth. Yet, having an open, wood-burning fire inside your living room is not without its risks. That’s why we recommend installing a fireplace cover or screen. It is a simple and effective way to make your fireplace safer and more stylish.

Keeps Kids and Pets out of the Fireplace

Kids and pets are both known to get into places they shouldn’t be, and a fireplace can be a real danger to both of them. When a fire is lit, a fireplace screen helps keep your little wanderers safely away from the heat and the flames. And, when you don’t have a fire going, a screen will stop them from making a mess with the ash and debris inside.

Helps Contains Embers and Ash

We all love the hiss, pops and crackles of a fire. Yet, those hisses and pops could be sending hot embers out of the hearth and into your living room. A well-fitting cover or screen can help contain some of the embers your fire emits. Once the fire is out, the cover will create a barrier to help stop the remnants of your fire from spreading beyond the fireplace.

Enhance Your Room’s Decor

As much as we love the heat a fireplace provides, we also love how it improves our homes’ aesthetic qualities. Fireplace screens are available in a wide variety of styles to match almost every decor, from classic to modern and beyond. You can also choose between materials to find the perfect look, from hanging metal gates to tri-fold stand-up screens to sleek glass doors.

I wanted to give 5 stars but they are very busy which meant I had a good wait for both the inspection/cleaning, then for a quote on repairs and then for the repairs. Their prices seemed a little high to me but I have nothing to compare with as they were highly recommended by someone I trust and other companies had plenty of negatives reviews which kept me from getting additional quotes. I am happy with the work and they promptly returned to fix a mistake that had been made. Chris the inspector, Jennifer in the office, and Alex and his repair crew were all pleasant and took the time to answer all of my questions. Alex and his crew even took their shoes off (it was winter) before entering my house without even being asked! So if you are not in a rush and want to ensure you chimney is as safe as possible then I think you'll be happy with Black Moose.

After a recent sweep of our chimney, it was discovered that our flue tiles were cracked. Black Moose techs were hard working, detail oriented and professional! Nice jobs guys! See you next year for my cleaning!

Excellent I highly recommend Black Moose Chimney and Stove; Kelly and Liam are awesome, they did a great job. Extremely professional, arrived early, went through everything with a fine tooth comb ensuring pellet stove was thoroughly cleaned. They also were respectful of my home, conscientious and cleaned up after themselves. Made sure stove worked prior to leaving and told me to call promptly if anything came up afterward. Will definitely use them again.

We've had Black Moose clean our chimney for a number of years.But recently, we had an emergency situation at our home involving our chimney & oil furnace flue, which was caked full of soot from a malfunctioning furnace. They came & cleaned out both flues in no time, even going up on the roof with snow on it! They cleaned up after their work in the interior rooms where the oil furnace and the woodstove are located. Great work. Reasonable prices. Very nice people. You can't go wrong with Black Moose.

Goods: The technicians know their business, very efficient in cleaning/inspection along with cleaning up after the 'dirty work'.Others: Communications could be more effective. Despite early coordination about scope of work (multiple flues within same chimney) the estimate provided did not reflect this and the final invoice was significantly more than the estimate provided.Quote for follow-on chimney relining was significantly more than that offered by other companies in the area (and far more than neighbors experienced for similar work accomplished by other companies)
