This is my first home and first fireplace, so this type of issue had never even entered my mind until I went to the fireplace store to get a nice new log set. I showed the guy in the store pictures from my cell phone and his response was along the lines of "w**? who did this?, "oh man, you can't do that..." After many hours of google research on D.I.Y. options, I realized that a professional inspection and repair was the most sensible option. Shannon was very helpful on the phone and she was able to get me the perfect appointment. I sent her email pictures which helped to give an idea of the situation I was describing. Tim arrived right on time and inspected the situation. He was thorough and helpful in explaining everything involved and provided additional options. So, in the end, he disconnected the gas line and capped it off and disconnected the flue venting and sealed the hole in the chimney with a high temperature chimney/fireplace mortar. Most importantly, he shared some knowledge. Yes, I would recommend. Yes, I would hire again. Hope this review helps.

I had my gas fireplace cleaned. They did an amazing job!! Took their time and answered all my questions. They were knowledgeable and friendly. After they left I called with additional questions and they contacted me back right away. Great experience! Highly recommend!
Chimney was cleaned and family room was as clean as when he started. Minor repair is required and technician told me how to repair it myself if I so chose. Took about an hour

Keith was able to promptly diagnose the problem, determine what was required and provide an estimate to repair. I appreciated Keith's assessment as I thought I needed a much more expensive repair. But he was able to repair at a very reasonable price, and also cleaned the gas log set thoroughly.

Background: 1954, Royal Oak, ranch style home, with a gas fireplace in the basement. Although the brick fireplace looks very nice, apparently the "box" and "flue venting" to the chimney were made too small (very not to code and very unsafe). This is my first home and first fireplace, so...

FAQs for gas fireplace repair projects in Royal Oak, MI
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.
