They reviewed an assessment…read morefrom our home inspector and broke it down into clear, tangible pieces of work that actually mattered for us: repairing old masonry, cleaning out the chimney, and fixing internal mechanisms so the fireplace could be safely usable again. They were respectful of our time, highly communicative, and flexible to our needs throughout the process. The crew worked quickly and efficiently, and they were friendly, professional, and easy to talk to. They took the time to explain what they were doing and why, which made the entire process easy to understand and reassuring. Pricing felt fair for both the scope and the custom nature of the work. We'd absolutely work with Fireplace Freddie again and would recommend them without hesitation.

He walked us through everything, explained why the chimney needed a cleaning, and pointed out that the galvanized chase cover should be replaced to help prevent future water damage. As first-time homeowners, we really appreciated how informative and thorough he was. He took the time to answer all of our questions and explain everything in a way that was easy to understand. We left feeling much more confident and would definitely recommend Joseph and The Chimney Brothers!

They determined that the pilot ignition module was faulty and ordered the part. They returned a few days later with the part and replaced it! Part of the problem was that my fireplace was operating without lava rock in the tray just below the ceramic logs. Apparently lava rock helps to cool the unit that's underneath (Fire glass does not cool like lava rock). With lava rock and a new module, I'm good to go! Excellent communication, excellence service!

From start to finish, my experience with them was outstanding. Their customer service team is genuinely a cut above the rest. They were responsive, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable, making sure I understood every step of the process without ever feeling pressured or rushed. Their technicians arrived earlier this morning (on time, ready to work) proactively slipping on shoe protection not to track in outside dirt into the home (without being asked mind you) demonstrating professionalism and expertise while troubleshooting and resolving all of our issues with a control module for our Montigo Gas Fireplace. Their pricing was far more competitive than any other company I contacted, without sacrificing an ounce of quality or service. It is rare these days to find a business that combines value and excellence so well and I'm grateful to now have their contact saved in my phone the next time I need help with one of my fireplaces. I couldn't recommend Burbank Fireplace & BBQ more highly. If you want a smooth, stress-free experience with results that exceed expectations, this is the place to go!

We've worked with a variety of different contractors over the years, and it's usually the same deal - they're hard to reach, they do an okay job, and they leave a mess (or maybe even damage) behind. Not Caspian. They were great to communicate with, they did quality work, and they left our house in the same shape it was in when they arrived. Cut to a few months later when the fireplace was malfunctioning and needed to be replaced (no fault of Caspian). Ben and his crew came through again. Easy to work with, affordable, and a quality result.

Michael inspected the chimney with a camera and quickly found the problems. The original damper was mounted low and blocked much of the smoke chamber, the smoke chamber itself was rough and poorly shaped, and the deteriorated flue liner left large gaps that disrupted the draft. Rather than simply repairing the chimney, he completely re-engineered how it worked. He removed the old damper and installed a top-sealing damper, enlarged and reshaped the opening into the smoke chamber, then rebuilt and smoothed the chamber so the smoke could flow cleanly and efficiently into the flue. The result is remarkable. He took a 50-year-old chimney and made it work better than new. For the first time since we've owned the house, the fireplace drafts perfectly without a trace of smoke entering the room. As a bonus, it looks fantastic too. His crew was equally impressive. They paid attention to every detail, and even though chimney work is inherently messy, they sealed off the entire work area with plastic and left the house absolutely spotless. I'm incredibly grateful I found Michael. It's rare to find someone who combines this level of technical expertise, craftsmanship, professionalism, and genuine enthusiasm for his work. He clearly loves what he does, and it shows in every detail. It's also a reminder of what's been lost. Today, so much of construction is about replacing rather than restoring, and many fireplaces and chimneys arrive as prefabricated systems assembled from factory-made parts. There's nothing quite like finding a true mason who understands how a traditional masonry chimney is supposed to work and has the skill to improve it rather than simply replace it. Craftsmen like Michael are becoming a rare breed, and I'm grateful there are still artisans who take this much pride in their work.

Michael and his team are wonderful! I wouldn't bother hiring anyone else for any work needed to our…read morefireplace and chimney. 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!
