    100% highly recommend. Rian, Miguel, and their team are the ones to go with. Give them a call you won't regret it. From the very first contact, it's a different experience than the dozens of other old school companies. You know what I'm talking about, those mass vendors that are listed under some regional mega contractor where you call a number and they farm it out to random contractors that you know nothing about. Here, within hours, the founder/owner reached back out personally to advise. That's the level of service that I respect and like to pay for. Replaced my entire fireplace with a new wifi/remote controller enabled system with stone wall masonry and custom mantle. They coordinated everything while helping me pick various designs and options that'll fit my specific requests. Helped me navigate the permit process, dealing with HOA, being flexible with parking/materials/logistics, and keeping me updated over the entire process. I'll certainly be returning to them if I need their services in the future and will recommend my family and clients to them. 1. Honest, young, dynamic team 2. Obviously cares about their final work product and reputation 3. Transparent pricing, flexible scheduling 4. Proactive advising on other issues 5. Helped with misc. items (insulation, painting)

    My new fireplace doors by TPG
    Diane S.

    Rian and his crew are great to work with. We did have issues with the manufacturer but Rian took care of it and apologized. He made it right with no arguments and made sure I was happy. I recommend TPG 100%!

    Before - fireplace on right and built-in on left. Hired Rian to center the fireplace and convert it from gas to electric.
    Angela C.

    We ran into some hiccups along the way, but Rian is hardworking and trustworthy. I can't express enough how important it is to find someone you can trust and deliver on what was promised. The peace of mind on finding someone you can trust cannot be overstated. We hired Rian to center our fireplace, and to convert it from gas to electric. Our original gas fireplace was off to one side and a built-in on the other side (see pics). His quote was very competitive, but keep in mind that it does not include the actual drywall patching, so we had to find a separate drywaller on our own. He did subcontract out the electricians and that is broken out in his quote. The cost of pulling a city permit also seemed high at first, but after going through the process, we came to understand its importance and saw how much of Rian's time it ended up consuming. Rian is young, but open-minded, hardworking, and willing to own up to mistakes. We did run into some issues, but the end result speaks for itself. We love our new living room and fireplace, and it's completely transformed our space.

    We had a gas line in our fireplace that we never used but we wanted to finally make use of it after I was tired of the clean up involved with wood burning. The Pyro Guy reached out to me along with others who bid on the project here on Yelp. I am glad I went with the Pyro Guy because he knew exactly what I wanted and was easy to work and communicate and work with. He gave me a fair estimate of pricing and labor involved and used quality materials. It was a smooth and professional transaction from start to finish. I couldn't be happier with the final results. Though the weather is starting to warm up already, I still enjoy the look and feel of my new set up. I highly recommend The Pyro Guy. Reasonable costs, excellent service, and quality materials.

    Heatilator fireplace
    Satch T.

    When our Heatilator gas fireplace stopped working, I researched Yelp for a service company. I could not find anyone in IE area. so I gave a call to The Pyro guy in Bellflower. Rian answered right away and he gave no hesitation to send someone to IE on Saturday morning. Miguel was very professional and knowledgeable. He thoroughly checked our fireplace and found the problem and fixed it right away. He gave us recommendations for future maintenance and trouble shootings. What a great service ! I highly recommend The Pyro Guy.

    Fire log with rock(s) installation
    Sean M.

    Highly recommend The Pyro Guy for any fireplace needs. Rian was professional and very informative with all my questions. We had new ceramic logs and a new gas line installed. My wife and I absolutely love how it came out! Great price and service!

    They did 2 separate jobs for us. We got a beautiful fireplace upgrade (fire glass, spheres and H-burner) and had a gas line made to our new outdoor fire pit as our previous propane tank situation was just not working out. So far, we are pleased with the outcomes of both projects.

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.

    I have an old-school wood-burning fireplace that had never been properly serviced, so every winter…read moresmoke would seep into the house. 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!

    So happy to have found Fireplace 911. Starting with Linda (my first point of phone contact), to…read moreRenzo (owner), and Jorge (technician) - communication was excellent, as was attention to detail and cleanliness. This was for a rental property with new tenants scheduled to do a walk-through and sign lease agreement in a few days. After two months of repairs and improvements, I thought everything was ready to go - until I started taking photos and realized the gas-log fireplaces were in need of cleaning and resetting. In a bit of a panic, I turned to Yelp (as owners of my previous fireplace maintenance company had retired) and chose Fireplace 911 - in part due to their positive online reviews, and also to help support a local business. I could not have asked for a better experience and will continue to call upon Fireplace 911 going forward. Thank you so much for fitting me in, and to Jorge for doing an excellent job.

    Updated Review: 5 Stars UPDATE (Editing my original review…read moreafter service completion): I am officially updating my review because FirePlace 911 truly went above and beyond to make things right. After my initial scheduling frustrations, the business owner, Renzo, personally stepped in. He called me immediately after the job was finished and apologized sincerely multiple times for the previous communication issues. The Results: The actual work performed was fantastic. They completed a full refurbishment that included: - Deep Cleaning: Both the chimney and the fireplace are spotless. - Aesthetic Upgrades: They repainted the interior, making it look brand new. - Smart Functionality: They installed new parts and integrated a wall switch system. Now, as long as the pilot light is on, I can start a fire with a simple flick of a switch. Incredibly convenient for my tenants. The finishing quality is top-tier. Seeing the final product and experiencing Renzo's commitment to customer satisfaction completely changed my perspective. It's rare to find a business that takes feedback this seriously and delivers such high-quality craftsmanship. I now highly recommend FirePlace 911 to anyone needing fireplace experts. Thank you again for the hard work, Renzo! ------------------------------------------- Original Post - Rating: (1/10) I am incredibly disappointed with the lack of professionalism and total disregard for my time shown by Fireplace911. Initially, I was happy to be flexible. We had a Tuesday appointment that they needed to reschedule due to a technician's family emergency. I completely understand that life happens and was happy to accommodate them. However, the experience went downhill quickly from there: * Reschedule #1: We moved the appointment to Friday at 11:00 AM. * Reschedule #2: On the day of, they requested to move the 11:00 AM slot to 2:00 PM. I agreed. * The No-Show: They failed to arrive at 2:00 PM and did not show up until 5:00 PM. This was not just a personal inconvenience; this was for an investment property with a tenant waiting. Because of this company's poor time management and lack of communication, I was forced to apologize repeatedly to my tenant for the delay. There is a fine line between a genuine emergency and simple laziness. Changing a time twice and then showing up three hours late for the second window is unacceptable in a professional setting. I highly recommend looking elsewhere for your fireplace needs.

We had previously noticed a slight odor when using the upstairs fireplace, so we especially appreciated how methodical they were in checking ventilation and ensuring everything was working properly.
