This is who you want to hire to fix / repair / clean your chimney! Martin is fantastic. He told me…read moreexactly what I needed to do for safety and to protect my house, and different options with transparent pricing based on whether I planned to use the furnace vs just keep the chimney and house safe. He showed me where other people were trying to sell me "fixes" I didn't need. He patiently answered all my questions as an uneducated but curious homeowner comparing multiple quotes. He responded quickly to all texts and calls and was always very kind and generous with his time. The quote for the work I decided to do was similar / less than another company I looked at and Mr Chimney seemed like a far more professional company in terms of communication, presenting options, estimate, etc. Their office seems understaffed (maybe just 1 person working there?), but Erica is super nice and sent the estimate and scheduled the job...best to call her because they must be overwhelmed with email and I didn't get a response to email. The day of the work, the workers came on time, were super nice and explained everything and answered all my questions. They were supposed to do a number of repairs including fix my damper. They unfortunately said the damper couldn't be fixed but they were able to close it and I don't plan to use the fireplace, so they removed the charge whereas other companies might have charged me just for getting it to move enough to close fully or tried to talk me into replacing it. They simply presented the options and their costs and said I could decide later if I decide to use the fireplace. The workers were neat and clean, worked efficiently, and the chimney looks brand new after their repairs. After the work, I was cleaning leaves out of my gutters, and thought I saw some cement dust that had blown into the gutters during the work and was worried it could turn to cement in the rain and clog my gutters. I called Martin and he sent his workers back the next day to clean it up. He told me actually it was not cement dust but some debris from the roof but his team kindly cleaned it out anyway to assuage my concern-- truly old fashioned customer-centered values which is rare in this day and age. I would hire them again for any work and highly recommend them. Thanks, Martin, Erica, and team!!

We didn't just want a new insert; we needed a complete facelift for the room, and the team absolutely delivered.

If you are looking for a team that is professional, communicative, and truly skilled at what they do, I highly recommend Penguin Fireplace. Thank you to the whole team for a job well done!

Detail oriented, utterly perfect in execution, and on time. Not the cheapest job I've had done but…read morereasonably priced all in. Would absolutely choose them again. Like many customers I wanted to put a TV over a fireplace without it being too high off the ground as this makes for an unpleasant viewing experience. One way to do this is to use the "cool wall" type of installation, which lets you locate a TV right above the fireplace, but this requires building a chase into the room - and the particular room we have is too small for this to be a good idea. I also did not want to use one of the mantle mount options for our TV because that would also bring the TV into the room when lowering it for use which would thereby also reduce the size of the room in front of the TV. So we had a bit of a conundrum. But penguin showed us some options, which allowed us to get our TV low enough without using a mantel mount or a chase at all. Specifically, they showed us an insert that you could put directly on a concrete floor and a noncombustible mantle which you could locate just a few inches over the fireplace opening without risking fire safety. (As a point of comparison, locating a typical combustible mantle above a fireplace requires strictly specified minimum distance, which in effect leads to a much much higher minimum TV installation height..) We also went with a custom surround, which makes the gas insert that we went with look a lot bigger, and also a good proportion for the space that we have... And the design of the insert itself makes it look a whole lot deeper and wider than it actually is by using reflective glass. I'm really pleased with how this turned out. For the wall tile, I'd always had a dream of doing board form concrete and penguin did a fantastic job installing it. This is a fiberglass reinforced concrete veneer product I got from Wall Theory in the color "natural gray." It's worth mentioning that I visited another store that did not think of the options we went with, which left me scratching my head as I stared at a pile of catalogs that they shared instead. Go with Penguin.

I highly recommend ABA.

We were very pleased with the work of George and his team…read more I contacted multiple fabricators prior to finding Natural Stones (NS)--most were unprofessional, not responsive, or didn't appear to demonstrate a fundamental understanding of fabrication or different styles. In contrast, NS always timely arrived for all appointments, worked cleanly and within a narrow time-frame at times (I had various scheduling constraints and had to leave the house). George stopped by often to manage/oversee the template and installation. In the initial consultation, he drew out how the marble would look and helped me navigate some possible pitfalls regarding seams and how the template may fit on the slab. He was also knowledgeable about​ interior styles (i.e., transitional, modern, traditional) and what edges would be most consistent with them (e.g., cove, ogee). Lastly, George was extremely responsive via text, phone and email (does the guy sleep?). He also worked well with my fireplace team to coordinate the junction between tile and slab. Extremely happy with the end result (shown in pictures) and would highly recommend!

Sticks-N-Stones did an outstanding job designing, fabricating and installing new quartzite…read morecountertops in our kitchen. It was a challenging job in two ways. First, the counters are large (the island is about 13' x 5') and required seams in obvious places. Second, we wanted to match an earlier, somewhat unusual edge profile. Manuel worked carefully and patiently with us to achieve the best layout, and the installation crew were master artisans (one has been with Sticks-N-Stones for 30 years). The bookmatch on the island is beautifully done; most visitors assume it's all one piece, because the long seam in the middle is so well crafted. Manuel also created a sample of the edge profile and brought it to the house to make sure it achieved the correct look.
