He charged me $225 for diagnosis and said the valve is busted and will cost about $600 to repair in the first communication. I had authorized it over the phone. Then he forgot to come back to repair for over two weeks. I had trusted him entirely and this is where he took advantage. While the valve costs about $350 from parts warehouse, he later said his price to me was $1200 and said that is how the industry works. On top of that he said it will be four hours of labor at $250 per hour. He argued that he has been doing this for 20 plus years and any other technician will do the same. Luckily, I was able to fire him right away and also have Venmo return the payment for false diagnosis. I called up another technician for repair, while ordering the part myself. The other technician said valve is fine and charged me $300 for overall service. Michael would have costed me over $2500. Dishonest, unethical, unprofessional, extremely poor communicator. Not sure how he had five stars.

We cannot recommend Chance and Super Sweep Chimney Service enough!…read moreFrom the very beginning, Chance was professional, kind, and kept us informed every step of the process. There was a delay in manufacturing our custom chimney cap, and instead of leaving us wondering, he proactively kept us updated the entire time. One thing we appreciated most was that he never treated us like we didn't understand. He took the time to explain exactly what was going on inside our chimney, why certain repairs were recommended, and what could happen if they were ignored. Even better, he never pressured us into spending more money. He laid out several options, explained the pros and cons of each, prioritized what was most important, and let us make the decision based on our budget. At no point did it feel like he was trying to make a sale. It truly felt like he was trying to help us make the best decision for our home. We also had a specific vision for our chimney cap. We showed Chance a photo, and he had a custom cap fabricated that matched exactly what we wanted. His measurements were so precise that it fit like a glove, and honestly, it looks incredible. The little things really stood out too. I happened to see one of our nosy neighbors talking to him while he was working. Chance was incredibly kind and gracious, but he also respected our privacy and didn't share details about the work being done. When he needed to use our hose to mix materials, he rolled it back up and put it away exactly where he found it. That may seem like a small thing, but after dealing with so many contractors who leave a mess or treat your property carelessly, those little acts of respect really mean something. Chance is truly a class act. We only wish every contractor operated with the same level of professionalism, honesty, communication, and respect. If you need chimney work done, call Chance of Super Sweep Chimney Service. Five stars all the way.

He is extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and communicative. He clearly showed us what was wrong with our chimney, promptly emailed us the plan and costing, and we easily set up two days for him to come complete the project.

This entire experience couldn't have gone better. Our only regret is not having this done sooner! This is a niche skill--he's carried on his family's business and there's no one I would more highly recommend for any fire place related services. Thanks, Chance!

After 4 weeks, I received the call that my mantle was ready for final inspection and install. Francisco & Juan Torres came to my house to install the mantle. They arrived on time ready to work. The job required demolition of the old facade and of course, new install. I can not stress enough how pleased I am with the quality of service that both Francisco & Juan delivered!

Francisco & Juan completed the job on time while delivering exceptional work!They took the time by paying attention to every detail during the installation and custom fitted pieces to achieve the best result.

I forget his name, but whoever I spoke with was very honest upfront that my pits were too small of jobs for him to work on but he referred me to someone for both pits and the bbq as well. His recommendation was Dan who came out and took a look at all 3 things. I believe Dan is with another company, if he or anyone from this company know please kindly reply to this post and inform what company that is! Dan was fantastic, gave me costs and showed me the issues then and there. He also looked at my pit in my front courtyard and was able to solve the minor issue at no charge, simple fix. I decided I didn't want my backyard fire pit fixed because the front one is much nicer and now that it is fixed I doubt I will ever use the one in my backyard--another project yay. Will have to demo it one day. Dan then fixed the bbq and it now looks incredible and works great. I have since used it a handful of times with no issues. Great company, great communication, honest and fair pricing. Highly recommend. Two thumbs up (Will try to upload pics of bbq before and after soon)

Disappointed with Product Quality and Durability…read more I had high hopes for HB fire pits when I purchased my fireplace, but unfortunately, my experience has been disappointing. After only 1.5 years, the unit has already stopped working properly, which is unacceptable for such an expensive investment. Despite following all maintenance recommendations, I've had issues with burner failure, electrical and remote. When I reached out the owner, he was very unhelpful, unresponsive and extremely rude every time I was able to get hold of him. A fireplace should last much longer than this, and I would not recommend HB FIRE PITS based on my experience. If you're considering purchasing from them, I strongly suggest looking into other options or ensuring you get an extended warranty. Also my next-door neighbor also purchase the same fireplace like mine at the same time, and she's been having many problems with the hardware and the owner. I am extremely disappointed with the customer service from HB fire pits, especially from the owner. When my fireplace started having issues, I reached out for repairs and maintenance, expecting professional assistance. Instead, I was met with rudeness, dismissiveness, and a complete lack of concern for customer satisfaction. Rather than standing behind their product and helping to resolve the problem, the owner was unhelpful and unwilling to take responsibility. Calls and messages were ignored or met with short, unprofessional responses. When I finally did get a response, it was clear they were more interested in avoiding the issue rather than actually fixing it. A company is only as good as its customer service, and unfortunately, HB Fire Pits fails in that regard. I would strongly advise others to look elsewhere for a fireplace company that actually values its customers and stands behind its products.
