I first reached out to Michael for an inspection when we were in escrow on our home. The home was built in 1967 and nothing had been done to the fireplace/chimney since then. He was incredibly thorough in his inspection and report, to the point that both the seller agent and our agent asked how I found such a good inspector. His quote for repairs was extremely fair and his detail helped us get a credit for the repairs needed. Fast forward to once we moved in, I reached out to Michael to schedule and he was able to get his team out less than a week later. It was over summer, so I would guess in fall/winter, it's likely a longer lead time, but he's extremely nice and accommodating so I'm sure he helps people if they are in a bind. Michael said it would take 2 days to complete the work, which it did (this is honestly refreshing because usually people quote less time and then end up going over), his guys were prompt and did a great job on all the work. They cleaned up after themselves and left the space looking just the way it was before they came. Michael then came out at the end to check out the work and ensure it was up to his standards. He installed faux wood logs and charged exactly what he paid, he didn't upsell us or anything. 10/10 would recommend!

This truck drove around to the very front of the line on the side, trying to go ahead of the traffic and cut in. Other cars, including myself, would not let him in because that's just not cool after we all waited like a civilized and fair human should. He proceeded to ram right into the lane on the side of my car to try to prove a point (one that he was clearly not right...) and I had to swerve onto the shoulder or he would have hit me. Not the kind of person I'd trust to enter my home to do work...

My son and his wife bought a 1927 house in Pasadena, and the inspection revealed that major chimney…read morerepairs were needed for the fireplace to be usable. They decided to have them done, and to have the wood-burning fireplace converted to gas logs at the same time since they're in a high fire risk zone. They got several bids; CSE's was the most thorough and detailed, and not the highest. CSE did the work, and they were very happy with the results. My son is very detail-oriented and approved of their workmanship. I liked the work so much that I had them give me an estimate for converting my two wood-burning fireplaces to gas logs. After spending at least an hour inspecting them, Larry told me that one of the fireplaces, a factory-built unit installed in 1990, needed to be completely replaced because it had seriously rusted in my marine atmosphere. I was horrified at the idea since the fireplace is custom-designed granite with an exotic wood paneling surround. To my great relief, Larry said that they could replace the unit from outside the house and leave the interior untouched. They also found considerable deterioration on a masonry fireplace, original to my 1956 house. The total estimate gave me pause at over $22,000, but it was either that or not having working fireplaces. The work was completed by Breinner and Moises, who were outstanding. They kept my house dust-free and explained exactly what they were doing each step of the way. When they took out the factory-built fireplace, it was obvious that the work was justified since some of it was completely rusted through. To help prevent the same thing from happening to the new one, they primed and painted every inch of it with a high-heat coating, and used the most corrosion-resistant materials wherever possible. The job included refurbishing both chimneys to like-new condition. When they left you could not tell that there was ever a giant hole in my house. I am thrilled with the job and feel it was worth every penny since now I can have beautiful fires every chilly evening. Highly recommend.

After connecting with the company on Yelp, I sent over the full inspection report ahead of the appointment. Before even arriving, Joseph had already reviewed everything thoroughly and came prepared with thoughtful answers to all of our questions. When access issues prevented him from completing the inspection on the first visit, he promptly returned the following week to finish the assessment without hesitation. Not only was he able to track down the replacement part, but he ultimately saved us a ton of money by avoiding a full chimney replacement. He returned the following week to complete the repair, and the entire experience was seamless from start to finish. Joseph was honest, responsive, incredibly kind, and professional throughout the entire process. He cleaned up carefully after the work was completed and made what initially felt like a very stressful situation feel manageable. We would absolutely work with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for trustworthy chimney or fireplace work. Great value and great service.
