He gave me instructions on what I needed to fix the problem and said he would clean it after all of the repairs were made. Next both of them cleaned and inspected the chimney and fireplace. They did an excellent job cleaning the chimney and fireplace. They even repaired the firebox cracks free of charge. They educated me on my entire fireplace and chimney system and now I understand how to maintain my fireplace and chimney better. He also did a couple more things free of charge like cleaning the soffits around the house and blowing the leaves off the front porch. They were both very knowledgably, professional and friendly the entire time. I would highly recommend this company to my friends and will use them in the future.

I bought this house in 2011 and never used the fireplace.
I bought the service for the fireplace.
They came and eventually got the fireplace lit in September 2014.
I returned in Dec and it didn't work. I called the company and they sent another person who demanded an additional $80 cash to light the fireplace in 5 minutes.
That night I turned the fireplace off and it wouldn't relight the next day.
I called the company back and was not happy that I had spent $140 by now for nothing. He sent the person back who did the service I first paid for.
I found out that the original service was not done; cleaning, adjusting and service. Plus I was never instructed on how to properly use, adjust or turn the fireplace on and off.
I strongly suggested that I get some kind of rebate/refund as I see that this is the rule more than the exception for this company.
He said no because I had already given him a good review from the first service. I admit that I was happy because I didn't need parts and it didn't blow my house up. This is no way to do business. I suggest he be bared from Angie's List due to the same problems over and over.

Was an excellent repair option. I was very pleased
Because I have been in Florida for the past two winter seasons, the fireplace has not been used. Therefore, Steve took $100 off each of the fireplaces because he didn't have major work to do. Still, he had to remove the glass and put in a fair amount of time. I feel his pricing was so...

They repaired the unit. When I checked the air unit, they were screws and gaskets missing. I had to fine them on the ground and replace them back myself. For the amount of money I payed, I should have gotten service.

FAQs for gas fireplace repair projects in Sanibel, FL
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.
