light never stayed on as it should and the remote was unreliable. On multiple occasions, I had the company who installed the fireplace over repeatedly, but they could not seem to fix the problem. Over the years I paid them more than $1000 -- wasted my money!! Fortunately, thanks to Angie's List, I discovered 'Steve the Fireplace Guy'. Kyle came to my house, and in about 15 minutes, he realized that a transformer was never installed which was the reason I was having a problem. Kyle even called the fireplace manufacturer to make certain he was ordering the correct part. Now that the work is complete, the Fireplace works perfectly. Furthermore, the combined cost for 2 service calls plus the transformer was less than I was billed for a single useless service call from the original installation company. Finally, I want to praise Kyle as a lovely person, who arrived on time, was neat, professional and awesome ain diagnosing and fixing my problem!!

When this part of the job was done, they had filled in the missing hardwood floors, put in the needed crown molding and make it look like there was never a fireplace or wall there in the first place! Very polished and professional. For the removal of drywall and plaster that covered brick we wanted to expose, it went much the same way. I came over in the middle of this part of the job, and the team were pounding on the wall to remove all the plaster?it was messy work as you can imagine. By the end of the day, it was again totally cleaned up. David and his team took extra care to make the wall look great, including wire brushing it with bleach. It's the highlight of our downstairs now! Throughout the job, he showed a lot of attention to detail, making sound decisions for things I hadn't considered, like where a light-switch should go or how to fill in the missing crown molding.

Kurt Evers (one of the owners) initially came out to evaluate the major cold air problem coming through the fireplace. He offered two solutions at a reasonable price to solve the problem with additional insulation. He was sure that the original construction (2006) did not provide sufficient insulation above the fireplace. We asked if there were now more efficient and more attractive fireplaces on the market and he invited us to his showroom in Prince Frederick to see the range of options now available. The showroom was impressive and we learned a great deal about options and costs. We ended up selecting a new unit which Kurt and Robert installed two weeks later. The front office was efficient and accurate with the scheduling and Kurt was very responsive to additional questions we had prior to installation.
On installation day Kurt and Robert arrived on time, were very professional, and paid great attention to detail. The hardwood floors around the fireplace were protected, the stone around the fireplace was not even scratched, and the area above and around the fireplace is now insulated better than the rest of the house. Kurt even made sure we turned off our computers before he interrupted the power to disconnect the old fireplace. He replaced the siding on the outside perfectly, and instructed us in the use of the remote control and what settings were best in different weather conditions. And last but not least, cleaned up the work area just fine. I highly recommend Superior Fireplace.

FAQs for gas fireplace repair projects in Owings, MD
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.

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.
