"Very well. I bought through Angies List. I scheduled myself, as I needed to get this done within the week I called. I talked to the owner, Martin, who was so nice and in the process of moving his shop from Gilroy to Morgan Hill. Because I wanted this done relatively fast, I said I was flexible and could meet anytime, suggesting if they are out near Los Gatos, perhaps they could squeeze me in. He said in fact, he thought they might be in the next week or so, and he would text me. Well, the very next day, I got a text and met his guys and they did a good job. Plus they took the time to show me how the gas fireplace works. I was very pleased. Martin was very responsive continually and kept me posted or had his guys call to update me on time to meet. Martin also knows everything about BBQ's, so if your BBQ stops working, there is no better place to call for that too! I know I will!"

"Brian and his crew did a fantastic job on our double-sided stacked stone fireplace. We redid an old painted brick fireplace with the stone, and part of the job required tearing out half of a poorly done job someone else had started. Brian was easy to communicate with, was punctual and professional, and our fireplace is beautiful. His whole crew is friendly and reliable and and they all do great work (plus you can tell they all enjoy working together). The work was done exactly when Brian promised it would be, and right on budget. Would highly recommend them."

"So far, it has been pretty good but they haven’t done the work yet.  They have been very responsive.  They have gone through the bidding process very respectfully.  They are supposed to come over next week to finalize the design on the job they are going to do for me.  They quoted me $28000.  It has been a pretty positive experience so far.  I had another contractor bid the job, that was a terrible experience, and these guys were, much, much better.  I liked that they did not put any high-pressure sales on me like some other contractors and the others were twice as much in their pricing.  They gave me a quote, told me it was good for six months and told me I could make a decision whenever I want.  They were pretty kicked back, the guy I dealt with was Graham and I think he is one of the owners.  He was pretty straightforward and didn’t not provide any high-pressure sales.  We have been conversing via email back and forth and sometimes it takes a couple of days to respond to my email so from correspondence point of view, it has been really good.  They are scheduled to start the work on the first week of June.  He showed up on time when he came to do the quote. "

Fireplaces questions, answered by experts

Pellet stoves are designed to operate quietly, often emitting only a soft hum from the combustion fan and auger. Compared to traditional wood-burning stoves or furnaces, modern pellet stoves are relatively quiet during operation. This minimal noise ensures they can efficiently heat living spaces without causing disruption, making them a preferred choice for those seeking both comfort and peace of mind.

Gas fireplace repair costs an average of $600, but prices can vary widely depending on the issue, parts needed, and service provider. Simple repairs like cleaning or pilot light adjustments may cost between $75 and $200, while more significant repairs involving component replacement can cost $1,000 or more. The overall cost typically falls within the $100 to $2,500 range.

Typical price ranges for repairing different components of a gas fireplace are:

  • Thermocouple: $75 to $350

  • Thermopile: $75 to $350

  • Gas valve: $150 to $300

  • Pilot light: $100 to $350

  • Igniter: $100 to $150

  • Mantel: $500 to $1,200

  • Hearth: $150 to $800

Backdraft is usually caused by a ventilation or pressure problem. To stop it, you need to replace the air your fireplace draws out through the chimney, so open a window to try and increase the airflow. Sometimes turning on a kitchen or bathroom exhaust fan can help, but they could also be the cause of the backdraft depending on the air pressure inside your home. You may need to install a makeup air system (MUAS) or chimney fan.

Deciding when to replace your fireplace depends on its condition and your preferences. Replacements may be necessary if your fireplace shows extensive damage, safety issues, or inefficiency. Signs include deteriorating masonry, cracked firebox panels, or a faulty chimney. Aesthetic reasons, such as outdated design, can also drive replacement. Wanting something more sustainable and energy-efficient is another good reason to replace your old fireplace.

To ensure your wood stove heats the whole house, measure the square footage of your home and choose a wood stove designed to heat that amount of space. More efficient wood stoves, such as those made of soapstone or those with catalytic combustors, can more easily heat larger spaces for less money.
