I am SO happy with the work Fire Place LTD did today. I had never had my gas fireplace cleaned…read moresince we moved in 2021. The glass was pretty black so I made a Google search and found The Fire Place. And OMG The repair man was on time, friendly, and very clean. He cleaned my fireplace inside and out, and even cleaned the vent outside. The inside walls of my fireplace have always been black. Who knew they're supposed to be WHITE!! There was a screen on the vent outside preventing air flow. And the wood inside was covering the pilots in one pile. So everything was covered in black. I have always thought my fireplace was pretty but now it's just stunning!! Great price, great work!

Immediately after reading my initial review, Eric Boelter, Business Manager, of Fireplace LTD,…read moreimmediately contacted me. His attention and concern to the quality of work that prompted my initial critical review, is uncharacteristic and lacking in the business world these days, Eric scheduled a crew to rework the poured chimney cap, much to my families relief and satisfaction. In conclusion. I am retracting my original comments. Please feel free to contact me should anyone have questions. Please consider using FP Ltd on your projects. I will. DW Cote

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.

I just really appreciated what seems like an honest assessment.

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."

Earlier today, Luke came to inspect our chimney. Before he came, he texted me his arrival time to…read moreconfirm our meeting. He offered to remove his boots as he went to investigate our leaking issues surrounding our chimney. He took thorough pictures and notes on the issues and encouraged me to reach out to the roofers we used over the summer. Just after he left, Luke sent me a quote including his detailed recommendations and pictures/video/observations. I felt respected, heard, and he not only quoted me, but offered to help me navigate next steps with the roofers who need to fix said problems. Because of his professionalism and kindness, I would absolutely recommend him to others and will keep this company in mind for any other needs. If our roofers refuse to complete the job and repair said issues, we will absolutely use QF&CS. I wish I would've had them do this originally!

Received their coupon for a cleaning and they showed up and "inspected" the chimney with a camera…read moreand then within 15 monutes were telling me i needed to spend $12,000 - $15,000 to "reline" the chimneys. Charged $704 and no cleaning. I was suspicious so i called our builder who recommended another company. As the other reviews on this page note, i was told by the 2nd company there was no damage and no need for any relining. To add insult to inury they tried to tell me that "relining" isnt as good as replacing the "whole chimney" for $35,000. The 2nd company said that there was no need for any repair but if there were, a relining was about $1,600. This is fraud. And if they say we aren't listed as a customer as apparently they do, I will post the invoice and the charge. Beware.

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!

First, she needed all of my info before giving me a quote. Of course, when I insisted I just needed prices, she kindly moved on: There's a "service-call fee" of $312, after which they'll discuss pricing and then you get to decide what to do. Yikes! I pay you $312 just to find out what the real quote will be while you're standing in my driveway? This was obviously an easy decision. So far, only one of the three companies I've called for quotes has suggested a minimum service fee.

After the first round of April storms swept through Wisconsin last Monday evening, a 35-year-old,…read more40+ foot spruce in my backyard was left leaning at about a 30-degree angle. It was on the verge of falling--and worse, it was positioned to take out several younger, healthy spruce trees that would be extremely difficult to replace. With more severe weather (including actual tornadoes) forecast for Tuesday evening, I urgently began contacting tree services. A couple of companies came out quickly to assess the situation, but getting a crew on-site before the next storm hit that evening proved to be a major challenge. Most crews were already tied up with even more urgent jobs involving structural damage, which I completely understood. As Tuesday evening approached and I still didn't have a confirmed crew, I started bracing for the likelihood that I'd lose more trees. I followed up one more time with John from Man vs. Tree, hoping for a miracle--and he delivered. Despite an already packed schedule, he committed to coming out that same day, just as the storm was moving in. What I didn't realize at the time was that he wouldn't even have his full crew--just himself and one helper from the office. They arrived right as conditions deteriorated. With tornado sirens going off, strong winds picking up, lightning flashing, and eventually heavy rain pouring down, they got to work. They carefully anchored and stabilized the tree and, against the odds, brought it down safely--directly away from the surrounding trees, with zero damage. By the time they finished, it was nearly pitch dark due to the storm and time of day. It was an incredibly impressive display of skill and composure under pressure. A few days later, as promised, they returned to cut up the tree and haul everything away. They also recommended a great stump grinding service that took care of the remaining stump without issue. On extremely short notice and under truly difficult conditions, Man vs. Tree came through in a big way and likely saved several of my other trees. I can't thank John enough for his responsiveness, professionalism, and outstanding work. Bottom line: Man vs. Tree delivered when it really mattered to me. Fast response, great communication, and excellent work under pressure. Highly, highly recommended.

I'll keep this review updated as my project progresses, and I'll gladly raise the rating if things…read moreresolve well. 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.
