My husband and I recently did a remodel of our living room space. Along the way we decided to make…read moreour fireplace box bigger and were directed to Russ and Fritz at A Cozy Fireplace in Warrenville. We could not be happier with the entire process, from the initial phone conversation (Russ was so very personable and helpful), to a visit to the shop (where we found how little we actually knew about fireplaces), to our timely and seamless installation (friendly, respectful and professional guys), and most recently, the installation of our fireplace doors. I should add that the price was fair and reasonable (and quite a bit less than the other estimates we got from other shops not far away) We highly recommend Russ and Fritz!

My husband and I made the decision to convert to a gas fireplace when we learned that our…read moresee-through wood burning fireplace was built incorrectly and would cost us over $15K to fix with the caveat that it might not work properly even with the rebuild. We brought a quote from another company to Russ to evaluate and get a second opinion. Not only did he come in about 30% lower than the competitor, he was honest and forthright about what would be best for our situation. He did not try to sell us something more expensive or a set that would not work for our home. He answered every question and allowed us time to discuss the decision between ourselves. When we decided to have them do the install, he was able to get everything done in a timely fashion. The technician who installed the unvented gas log burner did a great job. He protected our floor while working and cleaned up everything. He offered to take away the grate that was used for burning wood. He let my husband know all the details for using the remote, leaving the glass doors open, etc. It heated our entire house so well that we had to turn it off for a while! We are incredibly happy with the fireplace and our choice to go with a family-owned, local business.

Matt and his colleague came today to inspect and clean two fireplaces - one gas and one…read morewood-burning - that have not been cleaned or professionally examined in over 10 years. Matt was fantastic - professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and honest. He educated us on the maintenance needs of both fireplaces. Gave recommendations on options for our 75+ year old masonry. Did ONLY what was needed today based on how we use the units and what we were looking for. He could have "taken us" for more work or money given that we are not well-educated on fireplaces, but instead he took the time to explain what was needed (and not). He took pictures, explained work that is needed, and inspected the outside masonry of the chimneys. Will 100% call again for further refurbishment and annual maintenance/cleanings. 100% recommend Matt. Sarah - who responded to my web inquiry - was friendly, responsiveness, and flexible also. Work was scheduled in less than a week from my initial request. THANK YOU to Capital Chimney Chicago! Highest recommendation.

We got the inspection scheduled just as fast. On the day of the inspection, Chris called me to keep me updated throughout the day. The only thing I would slightly ding them for is that they arrived pretty much at the end of the appointment window. However, Chris kept me updated on his status. As promised, he sent me the photos, inspection report and the quote for suggested repairs the next morning. All around pleased with the experience! The team at Capital Chimney was quick, responsive and did the job. Recommend if you're looking for inspections!

Can't wait to write this for Dave:…read more Dave did a wonderful job installing the log set in the fireplace.

Got our fireplace upgraded last November just in time for the holidays and we have had a winter and early spring filled with nice ambiance in our den. The whole installation process only took about 4 hours from installing the gas line, putting in the gas logs, sweeping our chimney and painting the interior box. They came out a few weeks later and got our nice new glass doors installed replacing our dated old 80s brass ones. So efficient and couldn't be more satisfied!
