He walked me through what could be the issues and how to rectify them etc. His knowledge is extremely impressive and he was very professional.

Very classy....in this day and age, we all need more people like John. Thank You !

Our skylight in the family room was pouring water during a heavy rain. Luckily, it stopped raining…read more I called TG about 10 pm and he showed up first thing in the morning and took pictures of the problem. The picture showed the skylight frame separated and he fixed/repaired. Using his underlayment paper and my roofing shingles left over from a reroofing job performed 8 years ago, he tore out the old paper and reshingled. TG also installed a bathroom exhaust the same day. Very happy with the immediate service and extra work TG performed. We've several downpours since then and no problems. Very fair prices without gouging because of my circumstances.

Luckily, I found Luis, who came the same day. He immediately cleared the clog and cleaned out all of the gutters thoroughly. It was a massive relief to not have to worry about the overflow causing water intrusion while waiting two weeks for someone to come and resolve it! Thanks, Luis!

We bought a fireplace through a company that was sold to David Smart. We called in October because…read morethe pilot wouldn't stay lit and they couldn't schedule us for 3 weeks. So mid Nov comes, David arrives and cleans the FP, charges us several hundred dollars and 5 minutes after he leaves it goes off again. I called immediately and left a message. A woman said they needed to order a part. We've called half a dozen times since then and get no response. It's been weeks and no one has even given us a single update. We either get the answering machine or a woman tells us she'll let David know we called. I'm so very frustrated over this. We've had this gas fireplace for many years and have never had a service issue with the former owner. I really miss having it on!

I've had 4 fireplaces/stoves installed in the past 15 years: one gas fireplace, 2 pellet stoves,…read moreand one pellet stove insert. The last one was the pellet stove insert and the work was done by David Smart. Hands down the most professional, well-thought-out, and careful install I've ever had done. Even better, after using the insert a half dozen times: no issues! no callbacks! I'm hoping that David will be available to do annual maintenance because based on my experience with much less reliable installers, I know I can rely on his expertise and attention to detail. Thank you, David!

Four Winds Chimney came out to inspect the two fireplaces in the house. We had not had them…read moreinspected since we purchased the house a few years ago. The technician, Mike, was outstanding as he recommended that I sit down with him to watch the inspection of the fireplace and explained in detail the images as they crossed the screen. Mike also inspected the chimney on the roof and the vent for the oil-based furnace in the basement. Mike provided me a complete report with pictures, and he went over his recommendations. I am having them come out to perform some repairs that were needed.

I would give 6 stars if I could for Javier and his team! They did a phenomenal job, and their…read moreworkmanship and professionalism was outstanding. They showed up early every morning and worked until dark, barely taking any breaks at all. Every night they cleaned up the work site, even vacuuming debris out of the bushes. Foreman Javier was on site and working himself almost all of the time and was often the last person here in the evenings, inspecting the day's work and cleaning up. Their bid was on the lower end of the ones we received, but I can't imagine any contractor doing a better job. You will not be disappointed if you hire them! They are reliable, efficient, honest, and very skilled at what they do.

I strongly recommend against hiring this company. My chimney was very old and falling apart. I…read morehired them to rebuild it. While they were kind and nice, they are wholly unprofessional. Here are a few examples: - They did not tell me they would be needing to use my neighbor's driveway to access the chimney. While I was out they knocked on the neighbor's door demanding they vacate their driveway. - They ended up dropping a brick on my neighbor's new car. They did pay for the repairs. - When almost complete with the work, they casually mentioned that the chimney had not been repaired to city code. Now I need to have it rebuilt. Again.
