I purchased the $109 special on Angie's list. I have two fireplaces instead of one, and gave them that information.
Trying to speak with someone on the phone was incredibly difficult. It sounds like they are using a cell phone with poor reception. The lady on the phone isn't what I would describe as professional. She almost seems bothered by the need to have a conversation with a customer.
I waited 3 weeks for an appointment because they only come to Illinois once a month. They arrived 30 minutes late and did not call. Two men came into the house. One of them said he was the owner. They looked at the fireplace and said it looked brand new except for a few spider webs.
He did take time to show me how to get the fireplace turned on. (It's a gas fireplace.) We then went downstairs to look at that fireplace. He said it was also new and had a few more spider webs than the other one, but it was fine. They did not turn that one on, just told me it would work like the upstairs fireplace. On our way upstairs, I was told I owed them $40 for the second fireplace and that I was really getting a deal as they should charge me another $109. They didn't do anything.....not even sweep out the spider webs. I tried lighting the downstairs fireplace this morning, and can't get it to light.
The coupon was supposed to include a dryer vent inspection. He said that would be another $80.
He did offer to come back next year and check both fireplaces for the same price as this year.
The were in my house all of 15 minutes.
I received a call from the lady that schedules appointments two hours after they left. She wanted to know if they had been here.
Overall, I did not feel comfortable with these men in my home. I feel conned out of the $40 extra I had to pay for the 2nd fireplace that doesn't work. I feel conned out of the money I paid for the coupon deal because they didn't do the dryer vent inspection and they didn't clean the chimney.
I won't call them back to take care of any of it because I really don't feel good about having them in my home.
I do not recommend you use this company! I am in the process of buying a new home and for record this is my first home. I called Maine Chimney Sweep for a quote for a fireplace inspection since it was a recommendation from our real estate company. The lady answered the phone and gave me a...

Since 1985, Kirkwood Plumbing has been performing fast, affordable, and high-quality plumbing services to homes and businesses in St. Louis and beyond. Our licensed and certified plumbers believe that quality workmanship and clear, honest communication makes all the difference, which is why you can count on us to always deliver honest recommendations, unmatched service, and 5-star customer care.

From designing and installing your dream kitchen to replacing an outdated water heater and everything in between, you can count on our plumbers to exceed your expectations at every turn.
"I cannot recommend Kirkwood Plumbing/Mr. Rooter anymore after my experience. I called because the copper pipe on my water heater (I believe the temperature and pressure valve) would leak when we took a shower. The plumber they sent was very nice and told me that he discovered the issue was a failed PRV. He said that when multiple faucets ran at the same time, the pressure was reduced and that meant the PRV failed. I even asked if this would fix the leaking copper pipe on the water heater and he said yes. He quoted me $785 to replace and although that seemed a bit high, I agreed. He left and got the part, came back and replaced it. Well, when he was done with that replacement he said he “looked closer at the water heater” and actually my expansion tank had ALSO failed and was mostly water when it should be air. Only he just looked and discovered this after doing $800 of work??? And oh the pipe between the water tank and expansion tank had been leaking at some point but was not now. He recommended a new expansion tank and replacing that pipe section. He quoted me an additional almost $700 to do that job!!! And told me that the leaking from the water heater would not be fixed until he also did this. He said he thought the PRV had failed causing the expansion tank to fail and he would need to go out to get a new expansion tank too. He apologized for not realizing that sooner he said. This is completely unacceptable. At this point I’m essentially held hostage by your company to complete the job as the already $785 would not have fixed the leak as told. I told the plumber it’s disappointing because if I knew it was a much bigger issue I would have likely gotten other quotes, and in addition, I don’t feel like I could really trust him or the company at this point. I agreed to do the expansion tank for an additional $271 and would wait for the pipe to be fixed since it was not currently leaking and only showed signs of leaking in the past. I will never again use this company and will make sure to spread my experience. While doing some jobs you may discover additional issues, this wasn’t the case here. All he had to do was test the expansion tank (which is apparently a common failure for temperature and pressure valve issues) BEFORE starting the job and give me a quote for the actual fix. Not do an expensive job saying it will fix the issue and then saying that it wouldn’t fix it after. He even said it was his mistake. Again, he was very polite, but it is completely unacceptable to essentially hold your customers hostage halfway through a job saying the first fix wouldn’t even fix the problem, after doing it. I’ve since learned that the expansion tank should have immediately been tested for this issue and that it was rather backward to check the PRV first, as the expansion tank is often the culprit in these cases and that considering he said that it was mostly water rather than air, it would have been easy to diagnose. As for the PRV, with the water off it maintained 60psi and dropped 10-20 points when two faucets were on, which I have since learned may also be normal operation and not needing replaced. I’m not sure if this is how all customers are treated or just women customers. My advice is do not use this company. They respond quickly but will gouge you and not provide upfront pricing. He could have saved himself two trips out (making this take much longer) as well as given me upfront pricing had he just “looked at the water heater closer” the first time- you know the apparatus I called them out for in the first place. Offering “upfront pricing” is clearly not something they do. I now feel like I paid $785 for a service I did not need when I really just needed a new expansion tank and could have paid for that/fixed that without replacing the PRV and checked to see if that fixed the problem. I even told him I did not have pressure issues. Beware for unneeded services at a high cost and not adequately diagnosing the problem or even investigating until AFTER finishing unnecessary work."

Gas Fireplace Repair questions, answered by experts
Hard materials like glass, metal, and hardwood floors, washable fabrics, and undamaged electrical appliances can often be salvaged after a fire, although it depends on the extent of the damage. For washable fabrics, make sure to use a phosphate mix during the washing process to extract the smoke smell. There are a few things you should throw away after a fire, like canned foods and cosmetics, even if they don’t look like they’re damaged.
Costs depend on material damage, labor, replacement parts, and whether additional structural work is required.
If you want to avoid damaging your home's brick, you should always use a stain specifically formulated for masonry projects. These stains are designed to penetrate the porous surface of the brick and bond with it, unlike paints, which sit on the surface and are prone to peeling and flaking. Look for stains labeled for use on brick or other masonry surfaces. Avoid using regular paint on brick, as it will not adhere well and will likely lead to future maintenance issues.
Costs depend on material type, labor, chimney requirements, and structural reinforcements.
How long limewash will last depends on the quality of the application and the porosity of the surface. For example, a limewash on brick will last five to seven years. If it's a home exterior application, exposure to specific weather conditions is also a factor. Limewash tends to develop a patina over time, and its natural look masks damage and imperfections well.
