Bill was amazing...so pleasant, so approachable, so willing to answer my questions. He crawled around on top of the house, cleaned the chimney from above and then from below. Stuck his head in the fireplace and cleaned some more. He pointed out some minor cracks that were superficial in nature, repaired them, assured me that the fireplace was fine and I could sell the house with a "working wood burning fireplace". He ordered a spark arrester and another part that we needed to make sure it was in compliance, and brought them back and installed them within a week. If you want a great, honest guy who does great, honest work - who does what he says he will do, when he says he will do it, and at VERY reasonable prices, he's your guy. I highly recommend him and wouldn't dream of using anybody else. Super job, made my life very easy at a time when nothing was easy. Thanks Bill!

In addition, there was a lot of wall repair around the fireplace and under the television. And everything had to be repainted. We met with Ed, showed him the project, got a price, and worked out a timetable of two weeks. Ed's son, Patrick, did all the demolition and took great care to protect the house from excessive dust. Ed's sub-contractors laid the stack stone around the fireplace and up the wall, replaced the tile, repaired and painted the walls. Ed himself did the baseboard and crown molding. He and his crew did a beautiful job and best of all stuck to the schedule! Throughout the job, when we had questions, Ed would respond by email within minutes, literally.

Aplin Masonry did quality work from beginning to the end. Robert did exactly what we asked. We love our new fireplace look. Robert was friendly and professional. He gave his input and let us make the final decision of the work to be done. Highly recommended.
I'm really behind on writing my reviews, so I am writing this on 11/2017 though the service was performed 1/2016. Everything went well and Claudio was professional, thorough, neat and friendly. The fireplace/chimney cleaning price of $119 I thought was reasonable after shopping around. When...

"Ryan was perfectly on-time and was a plumbing scholar and a gentleman. We had a simple drain replacement under a new sink. Going to Western saved me at least another day of trying to figure out proper parts and doing the install myself, and it also saved my wife's ears from hearing my salty language."

FAQs for gas fireplace repair projects in Mission Viejo, CA
Fixing a gas leak costs about $45 to $150 per hour for a plumber or gas line specialist. The job’s overall cost will vary depending on the location of the leak. A leaky junction or connection behind the stove or dryer will likely cost about $120 to $170. But for a leak that requires a gas fitter or plumber to excavate a pipe in the yard, the cost could rise to $1,500 to $5,000. Keep in mind that gas leaks are very serious issues, so don’t hesitate to contact a plumber or gas line specialist immediately.
The cost to install a fireplace is $2,440 on average. This cost can range from $150 to $8,000 or more, depending on the type of fireplace, the materials used, and the size.
Electric fireplaces cost around $1,000 to install, and mostly only require wiring installation. Installing a wood fireplace from scratch could cost upwards of $10,000, depending on the foundation needed to support the weight of the fireplace. In addition, gas fireplaces can cost between $2,500 and $10,000.
The cost to remodel your fireplace is $1,200 on average. This cost can range from $400 to $2,000, depending on the extent of work needed.
If you add a hearth to your fireplace, you can expect to pay between $3 and $200per square foot. However, if you're refacing your fireplace, the price tag will depend on your chosen materials. If choosing tile, you can pay between $1 and $50per square foot, depending on the design. Stone is a more expensive material, averaging between $60 and $70 per square foot.
Yes, it can be worth installing a gas fireplace, depending on your home heating needs. The cost to install a gas fireplace can be much lower than the cost to install a comparable wood-burning fireplace. The convenience of starting a fire with the flip of a switch and turning it off just as quickly makes a gas fireplace a big time saver over starting and maintaining a wood-fueled fire. A gas fireplace also does not require ash cleanup or frequent chimney cleaning to remove creosote and other buildup that can lead to chimney fires. Gas fireplaces burn and heat much more cleanly than wood fireplaces.
A gas fireplace insert costs about $3,600 to install, on average. The cost to install a gas log insert ranges from about $700 to $6,500, depending on the size, type of insert, how it works, and heating needs. Gas fireplaces need electrical and gas lines installed properly, so hiring a pro is recommended rather than trying to DIY installation.
