This company stands behind their work. I bought a gas fireplace insert from them and they…read moreinstalled it 6 years ago. Last week I had an issue with some water leaking from the seams on the chimney pipe. They could have blown me off. They could have said it was not their fault. They could have said 6 years was to far in the past. But they didn't. Bob, the owner, came out to my house, got up on a ladder and resealed the entire chimney area. And they did not charge me one dime. I believe that kind of customer service and standing behind their work deserves recognition. Use this company; you won't be sorry.

I received service quotations promptly, notification upon deposit receipt and quick turnaround for the install. Technicians were personable, professional and transparent about what would need longer term solutions. Inspection of my chimney and removal of the non-working gas fireplace revealed some structural issues that would have made full restoration to a working fireplace difficult, expensive and ultimately less efficient than a fireplace insert. I went with the Regency insert, which while smaller than I expected has turned out to be efficient and enjoyable. While an expensive choice, I'm thrilled to have a working fireplace again, and the ability to use it for a heat source as necessary.

May 22nd 2026 we had a home inspector come and do a detailed inspection for an unrelated circumstance and at that time we weren't aware of any issues. Once we received the official report and photos from the home inspection, it seemed familiar to me. So I pulled the chimney inspection and looked at them side by side. It was alarmingly clear that the home inspectors STRONG suggestion to obtain necessary repairs from a licensed contractor for EXACTLY what this company claimed to have already repaired months prior. Ultimately, no repairs were ever done and both inspection photos looked exactly the same which would indicate that this company allowed our chimney to remain out of code, an active safety and fire hazard and we used this trusting that it was now in working order. I provided them with the documentation and request that they refund the work they never did. It's been over 2 weeks now and I still have yet to be acknowledged which I presumed is what they'd do since the alternative would be to take accountability and at the very least apologize for the unsafe conditions they put my family as risk for and rightfully return our $5800.76 back to us. I gave them the benefit of the doubt and have been instead given lack of professionalism.

They cleaned the chimney (luckily, whatever was in there had gotten out on its own), installed a cap, advised me about a problem with puffback, showed me a better way to maintain my insert, cleaned up and were gone. Prompt service, very fair price, congenial guys and good advice--hard to find but great when you do. They are already on my calendar for next year's cleaning. I've consulted with a number of other chimney companies. This firm got the job done quickly and well and, let me say it again. for a very fair price. I recommend them without reservation.
