The Grenz folks came, carefully looked at the unit, and said, "If it were my furnace, I wouldn't do anything. It is running the way it's supposed to." This second opinion cost me something, naturally, but it also saved me between $5,500 and $19,500 (two quotes from the other two companies). Jim seems like a straight shooter. I'd recommend you give these folks a try.

They were both patient and accommodating in our timeline and helped us pick a great product. They have so many beautiful choices. Carl and others are knowledgable about all their materials they offer and what would be a good fit for our needs and lifestyle/how we use our kitchen.

Instead, this business installed a flammable,resin based quartz product behind my range and it burns!

Now my wall burns when I use my range and they refuse to take it out. I have even offered to pay for the new material. Please don't hire these guys. I'm sure they're great until you have an issue but if you do, you don't want this company in your corner (or your home).

Jordan and Peter went above and beyond our expectations. We had a stone hearth that had tile glue on top of it that no one wanted to remove. Jordan and Peter isolated the area and not only removed the glue but didn't create any dust outside of their "tent". They were super mindful of dust. When they were finished they cleaned up so well that we didn't have to do anything other than rearrange our furniture. Thanks again guys.

North Shore Chimney and Fireplace exceeded expectations in all ways. When I first reached out to…read morethem, I was nervous: everyone with an older home hears horror stories about chimney repair. Barrett really surprised me when he told me that my chimney was in good order, and only a minor sweeping was necessary (I hadn't had it cleaned in 6 years). We then discussed our options for converting our fireplace from natural wood burning to gas, and it was surprisingly affordable. Even in the summers now, I'm starting my day with a little fire to join my coffee. Great decision on our part: North Shore Chimney and Fireplace provided great value and a great experience. Highly recommend!

He was very professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to make sure everything was working perfectly before he left. What really stood out was how clean and careful he was while working. He kept the area neat the entire time and made sure everything was spotless when the job was finished. It's clear he takes pride in his work and cares about doing the job right. Excellent service, great attention to detail, and a very positive experience overall. I would definitely recommend Fireside Hearth and Home to anyone looking for quality service.

I have been a customer for almost 30 years…read more Several weeks ago, I had my fireplace serviced. There was a problem with the flame. A service representative came and fixed the problem. He said I was good to go. Two days ago, the flame would not come on again. I called to explain what happened and tried to get another appointment. The earliest they had was an appointment in January. While I understand that this is a busy time of the year their position was there was nothing, they could do about it because they were completely booked. To me that is not a customer focused policy. It's hard for me to believe that there was not a way that they could have found a way to come and fix a problem that the service tech had not fixed. However, I realize that they have the right to run their business as they see fit. Just like I have the right to go elsewhere to have my fireplace serviced. That's exactly what I have done. My first of future appointments is next week.

I hired this company (working with Daniel and Carrie) for a full exterior siding and gutter project. I paid the agreed-upon 50% down payment in full, and the trouble since then has been communication and scheduling. I've had two start dates come and go with no work begun, and several phone calls over multiple days go unreturned after being told I'd hear back the same day. To be fair: the work hasn't started, so this isn't a comment on their craftsmanship, and I'm still hoping to get it back on track. My main caution to others is about the money side. Get a written contract with a firm start date and a payment schedule tied to completed work before you pay anything. And be very careful about large deposits sent by Zelle or Cash App -- those transfer instantly and can't be reversed, so you have almost no protection if the work never begins. If this gets resolved and the job gets done well, I'll come back and update this to say so.
