"Great! The two guys showed up right on time, were polite and efficient. They also recommended ways for me to increase the look and functions of our gas fireplaces. We’ll work with them again in the future"

"The chimney project went smoothly. The result of the initial work on the fireplace was less satisfying. Richard Olsen, the owner, agreed with me and had the work redone. He made sure that the end result was something that we both were happy with. I was impressed by his professionalism and the pride he took in the work done by his company. I will not hesitate to hire him again or to recommend him."

"Great. Brian inspected everything including the furnace and hot water heater besides the fireplace. He found a gap in the pipe from the water heater and screwed it down. He also went to the roof and found a problem with the base of the flue. He exceeded all my expectations and may even have saved my life with his repair of the water heater exhaust."

"Franco’s Fireplaces was a wonderful find. I needed my paver patio repaired where it had sunken-in and had several thick roots growing through the pavers. I was having a difficult time finding a contractor. I finally reached out to Angi and got a prompt response from Franco’s Fireplaces Inc. Not only did he offer a reasonable quote, Franco was able to begin immediately. In less than two days, his team transformed my patio. I am truly impressed with their workmanship. Based on my experience, I can understand why they had so many great reviews for their fireplace work and now I can recommend Franco’s Fireplaces for paver/ flatwork, too. This was my second experience using a contractor through Angi, and both experiences have been awesome."
