I was completely satisfied with the products they offered. Brian and Nora Reid are a pleasure to work with and they were extremely helpful when I was selecting my fireplaces. I choose an indoor and outdoor fireplace and I couldn't be happier with the results. Brian installed both of them and the workmanship was outstanding. I highly recommend the Gas Store to anyone wanting a beautiful quality fireplace.

I cannot recommend First Response Chimney Stove and Fireplace enough!! I had an existing fire place…read morethat was not cutting it with heating my house. My heat pumps were constantly running, driving my electric bill up like crazy. I purchase a brand new Hearthstone Heritage wood stove from First Response. The install was seamless. They showed up on time, made sure to move anything that would be dirtied or damaged in the process and even laid down mats to protect my hardwood floors. The workers themselves were professional and presented themselves as such. They went above and beyond to make sure the linear I purchased was insulated and securely fastened. I know I can sleep well at night knowing my family is safe and warm now!! Thank you First Response!!!

They were supposed to clean our chimney. We also paid for an inspection…read more Once on the roof, they tried to upsell us for $10,000 to add a chimney liner, which we could do ourselves for a few hundred dollars in materials. They said that they would not clean the chimney unless we agreed to pay for the other services. This is an illegal practice called a tying agreement. It is apparent that the business owner has no business nor legal education or experience. Reportedly being a firefighter is all well and good, but does not compensate for a lack of ethics. Their modus operandi is to upsell and follow up requesting favorable reviews, again and again. The experience was disappointing and a waste of time. A competitor cleaned the chimney for $175. without any contingencies. We bought the liner on Amazon and installed it in about an hour.

After extensive research I hired JCS to clean and inspect my chimney when I moved in. I assumed it…read morewas done well but I didn't see any photos. Fast forward 6 months (I never used the fireplace during the 6 months) and I was converting to gas logs. The gas fireplace company said I needed a chimney inspection and cleaning. I told them I had it 6 months ago - but I needed a new one. Fine. I used a different company to inspect the chimney and do some brick work. I saw the photos of the debris on the shelf and inside the chimney!! The other company removed Half of a 5 gallon bucket of debris. And they showed me a nail or screw one damper that was not secured during the first cleaning. So I am very disappointed - did JCS even do anything? Oh, and I paid double to JCS rather than the second company for the same services. TLDR: I do not recommend JCS

Jonathan thoroughly inspected and cleaned our fireplace chimney, he even got onto our roof to look from the outside! We will be doing some repair work and will contract Blue Ridge to do the work.

Not only do I recommend this company because they are a small business, I recommend them because they are an excellent company and a pleasure to do business with.

In June 2020 we contracted with Blue Ridge Chimney Services to reinstall a wood-burning fireplace…read moreinsert and chimney liner at our home in Winchester. The work was necessary because of the shoddy and, frankly, dangerous installation and chimney work that had been done by 1Elite Chimney LLC, a local chimney service that sold us the unit and was completely unresponsive to our repeated calls for follow-up service because they did not complete the job, the stove was not working properly and the chimney cap they had installed blew off our roof during a minor windstorm. We decided to go with Blue Ridge Chimney after a confidence-inspiring visit by Steven Slabaugh, the technician they sent at our request to evaluate the situation. On the morning of June 29, 2020, two young men from Blue Ridge Chimney, Chris Guy Jr. and Chris Smith, drove here from Harrisonburg and arrived a little after 9 am. After a quick review of our situation, they went to work. They were here until after 8 pm, working the entire time with only a short break for lunch. Their concern for our situation was evident, as was their professionalism, energy and competence. They were also friendly and engaging, and at each stage of the process they explained the problems and the work that needed to be done to fix them. I waited 9 months to write this review because the work was done in June 2020, and we did not begin using the stove and chimney until November 2020. We used it consistently until last week (March 12). The heating season is over now and the insert worked perfectly. We are very happy in general with all the dealings we have had with Blue Ridge Chimney Services, and in particular with the competent work of Chris Guy Jr. and Chris Smith. We intend to use Blue Ridge Chimney for all our future stove and chimney related work.

Foreman Builders just finished building our home on a mountainside near Winchester. They assisted…read moreus through a custom design with a very competent architect. Their build process brought us in on every critical decision point throughout our 18 month journey. There were no major surprises or cost overruns.

Building on the side of a mountain isn't for sissies and Foreman Builders was up to the challenge.

I can't speak highly enough of Foreman Builders…read more Building a new custom home is a daunting task for anyone, especially for the uninitiated. It is a lengthy process with many choices and decisions that must be made in a timely fashion. Tony and his entire staff made it as easy as it can be, from lot design to buying appliances and accoutrements, they were there to assist. We made a lot of new friends in the process. That is the nuts and bolts of the actual process. Regarding the craftsmanship, you won't find better. From the carpenters to his subcontractors Tony employees the most meticulous people in the business. And he is very hands-on, insuring that every single detail is up to his high standards. We absolutely love our new house. What few irregularities that surfaced (present in all construction projects) were rectified immediately. And if that's not enough, Foreman Builders guarantees their work for two years. Regardless of your building needs you, absolutely, owe it to yourself to talk to Tony Foreman before you choose a builder for your custom home.
