"They are very friendly and knowledgeable. The technician that came out took the time to explain everything to me to help me understand how the chimney and fireplace work and why he recommended the repairs he did. And ever since the work was done, our fireplace has been burning cleaner and actually feels safe for my home and my family. Thank you all so much!!"
"Kent returned my initial inquiry immediately and promptly followed up with a visit to our home. After listening to my needs, Kent provided a very strong and beautiful landscape plan to enhance both our front and back yards. He had great recommendations of what to do, what to plant and what to remove... I had one idea and Kent greatly enhanced my original plans. He has a great crew lead by Mario and they removed concrete, put in a new drip system, expanded our stone patio, tiled our exterior fireplace and installed some beautiful plantings in both the front and back of our house. The crew was clean, efficient and skilled in their craft. The project was completed in one week and I am very happy with the outcome. Along with a successful project, I was particularly impressed with Kent's willingness to come back after one week and fix some easy issues I was having with the sprinkler heads...it demonstrated his professionalism and commitment to customer satisfaction. In a few words, I would describe working with Kent and his crew in the following... professional, quality, courteous, innovative design, and commitment to getting the job aligned to the customer's satisfaction. I would not hesitate to use their services again in the future!"

"Gary was prompt and professional for each appointment. On the initial appointment, he patiently answered all my questions, provided a good selection of products to choose from, and gave a quote for services. The day of service, Gary prepped & painted the inside of the fireplace as well as all hardware on the doors. For the finishing touches, he installed a new burner and fire glass. When he left the area was clean and ready to be enjoyed. My boring, outdated gas fireplace is now updated, and looks great!!! I'd hire Gary again. "
"The sweep did a great job. He cleaned a fireplace that opens on two sides. He was very careful about taping off the side of the fireplace that would not be accessed to clean the flue. Tarps were laid to prevent spreading of soot, etc. The job took less than an hour. He was also very good about recommending how to clean our gas logs to prevent the buildup of carbon dioxide over time. "
"Fireplace Door Guy definitely exceeded our expectations. Not only was Danny (the owner) professional and responsive, the quality of workmanship was truly artwork. Our custom fireplace door is now the centerpiece of our main living room. We were so pleased with the door, within a month we ordered a 2nd door for our bedroom fireplace. Thank you Danny"
"Chris came out and gave me an estimate of $1500 to cover a large brick fireplace and finish a wall on the other side of my kitchen. The existing wall was 7' tall, but the ceilings are sloped and vaulted, so it was a little tricky to make it look "original". It took his two workmen about 2 1/2 days to complete the work. They were very conscientious about keeping the area as clean as possible, avoided sanding since my kitchen opens into the bedroom hallway and living room with little way to hang plastic or anything to keep the dust contained. There was an additional cost due to my decision to extend the wall further than originally discussed and that cost was based on time and materials. Jesse and Jason were friendly and professional and I was comfortable having them in my home. They even let me know when they thought it was safe to let my cat out of the bedroom (when they wouldn't need to be going in and out, risking his 'escape'). "
A quality pellet stove that receives proper maintenance can last between 15 and 20 years, while most will last at least 10 years. The exact lifespan depends on factors like frequency of use and how well the stove is cared for. Proper maintenance—such as periodically cleaning the vents, vacuuming the ash pan, and refreshing the pellets as needed—can significantly extend its life, making it a worthwhile long-term investment.
Running a gas fireplace costs approximately $0.35 per hour for natural gas and $0.62 per hour for propane, though these figures can vary significantly based on fuel prices in your area. On average, the annual cost to run a gas fireplace is between $400 and $640. The exact impact on your utility bill depends on several factors, including how often you use it, the size of the room you're heating, and the fireplace's BTU rating. Some models with a constantly running pilot light will consume a minimal amount of energy even when off, although many modern fireplaces do not require one. If you are looking for a more energy-efficient option, consider an electric fireplace.
Having a pellet stove can indeed raise your insurance rates since they're a relatively common cause of fires in the home. However, rate increases vary by insurance provider so you should reach out to yours to determine exactly how much your rates might increase with a new pellet stove install.
Minor cleaning and maintenance are DIY-friendly, but professionals should handle structural or electrical repairs.
