Just great!  Can't recommend these guys highly enough.  Professional, polite, efficient from start to finish -- always cleaning up after each visit.   Started the process by visiting their showroom and being shown the various models/brands available by Gladys.  Saw most of them in operation -- and went home with a host of brochures to mull over and choose my insert. (Gladys was always super helpful and responsive online after my initial visit.)   Efraim, the owner, then came to the house to measure, discuss options.  Very knowledgeable and helpful and we cinched the deal.  Work started soon after.  Installation of the insert was just a few hours (tilework took a little longer), along with running a gas line into the fireplace from the garage behind -- Charlie was in charge, and did a terrific job.  I hope to have him back to do the annual servicing!  The tile and floor guys, Enrique and Maurice were awesome -- the new tile looks fabulous -- and the repair job on the floor is perfectly adequate, given the existing hardwood floor is probably well over 60 years old.  Took 3 follow up visits after the initial install and demo to complete the job.  They took great care to cover all the furniture and carpet with plastic and paper during the whole job, and before the sanding commenced, added additional floor to ceiling plastic for extra protection.  I was given detailed instructions on using the remote controller, and all in all, am VERY happy with the fireplace.  Bring on winter!

Inserts are not cheap to install.  But I was so impressed with all the other reviews on Angie's List for these guys, and also with Efraim at our initial meeting, I did not get any competing bids for this job.  I may have been able to save a few hundred dollars by going elsewhere, but decided to go with Penguin's professionalism and good reviews, paying the higher price.  ($500 of the total price quoted above was for refinishing the hardwood floor.)

If you want a terrific looking gas fireplace with none of the soot and cleaning of a wood-burning one, then hire this company!

"I was looking for someone to repair the grout on our flagstone patio. Anthony called us quickly to set up a time for him to see the job. He came over and looked at the job and let us know what he thought would be the best way to repair it. We got his bid with in a couple of days. We were very impressed by his knowledge and his price. He did a great job taking out the old grout and putting the new grout to match the rest of the patio. I would definitely recommend him. It’s nice to see someone who takes pride in their job! Thank you Anthony"

"Just got an estimate of repairs."

"Excellent. We replaced a wood burning fireplace with a gas fireplace. We asked the company to see if they could remove the old tile without damaging it, a tricky task requiring some finesse. They managed to do that very well, and we were able to clean the old tile and have them place the tiles around the new fireplace which required a lot of precise cuts to fit the new fireplace size. They did a great job, and replaced/repaired and textured the sheetrock surrounding the fireplace. The workers were very neat and cleaned up everything when they finished. Highly recommended"

"Installing the door necessitated removing the existing trim and reinstalling it. Most of the trim was reusable, but one narrow side piece had to be replaced. It rained hard immediately after the installation and the exterior caulking washed out. Manuel made two separate trips to the house to look at the problem and then, after some dry weather, to re-caulk. The stairs are sturdy, and fit into the footprint of the original stairs. Overall the work took longer than originally discussed, but weather was a factor."

"He's awesome and his prices are good. He pays attention to detail and did some real meticulous work. He was accommodating on helping me pick out colors. He doesn't usually do crown molding but he did it for me so I didn't have to hire anyone else."

"The company called to let me know the person they were sending was a little delayed.  That was thoughtful and appreciated.  He arrived just a little bit later than scheduled.  The worker was good, polite and professional. 
It would have helped to been given a list of materials needed prior, as the worker and I had to go to the lumber yard together.  Someone else mentioned that, but I had no idea what to buy.  And probably the person doing the repairs needed to eyeball it as well.  But that time was included in the time allocated for repairs.  We went to the closest place not the least expensive place.
The worker was quiet, thorough, and replaced the rotted wood with new.  That was during the summer, and I have not had any problems (although it has been a rather dry winter.)

"When my tenant of 10 years moved out I called Robert to paint the interior, remove, refinish and paint the non-asbestos accoustic ceiling and refnish all the wood cabinets and drawers in the house. He did an excellent job in a very timely manner. He also was able to find and repair a leak in the shower above the tub which a previous contractor failed to do. No only did he repair the leak, he did an excellent job replacing the tiles and re-grouting the area around the tub."

"We hired Everlasting Granite to put a granite countertop in our kitchen. They were very good & we were pleased with the job. The men were very quick, efficient, & really knew what they were doing. We were pleased with the price, as it was very reasonable. We would recommend this company to our friends & family, as they were very professional."
