After my initial call, a visit was scheduled and the technician showed up as promised. A firm quote, complete with pictures of the problem, were emailed to me the same day. The quote included removing the existing cover and fireplace caps (which were galvanized and severely corroded) and replace with stainless steel versions. In addition, our basement fireplace was not working, and they also were contracted (included in the above price as well) to replace the thermopile on the fireplace. I was anxious to have the cover installed quickly as it had developed a leak. The repair was scheduled for three weeks out since a custom cap and large cover needed to be fabricated. Unfortunately, they called the week of the scheduled appointment and had to reschedule as their supplier had not completed the cap on time. They were apologetic and we rescheduled for two more weeks out. They called 2 days before the visit to confirm and the technician also called the morning of the visit to give a more exact arrival time. The cover and caps were replaced as quoted. And while the cost was quite high, the new cover was a dramatic improvement over the original cover and was worth the cost (besides the obvious upgrade from galvanized to stainless, the construction was superior as well - the new cover had a built in pitch to it to allow for proper water run-off and had proper standoffs built into the cover to ensure no leakage at the point of the caps going through the cover). Again, pictures of the new installation, including pictures of the inside of the chimney were provided by email after the completion of the installation. On the replacement of the thermopile for the basement fireplace, it turned out that this was not the problem. Apparently, the control board for the fireplace was not operating correctly, and the technician was going to have to find a replacement and come back on another day. It turns out that the company that made the fireplace (Marco) went out of business some time ago, and after searching many of his vendors, the technician was unable to find any replacement parts. He called me personally to discuss and apologized. While I am disappointed in this, I do not directly blame Dr. Flue for this unfortunate situation, and I appreciate the technician searching for replacement parts and personally calling me to discuss the fact that they were unavailable. The cost for this service was removed from the originally quoted cost. Overall, I was very satisfied with the service and the professionalism at every step.

"Detroit City Sweep came to two of my properties to repair a total of three fireplaces. They did a fine job repairing one gas fireplace and adding caps to my chimney. I had a second gas fireplace that they needed to order a part for. I had to call them half a dozen times to get them to order the part and come back to the house to install it. When they finally did, it turns out they ordered the wrong part. After multiple calls they came out a second time, and again, it was the wrong part. Three weeks passed and on the third visit they brought the wrong part again and said the correct part was going to cost me twice what they originally quoted. I would like to recommend Detroit City Sweep, but I just can't. "

"I have been trying for 2 years to get our fireplace fixed and could not find anyone to even come out and look at it. I saw an ad for Angi’s list and contacted them. They sent me 4 different companies that could do the work and, after checking the reviews, I selected RPF Construction. Robert contacted me immediately, came to the house, outlined everything he would do and gave me a price, which I agreed to. Robert and Tom came the next week with all of the parts that were needed. They started at 8:30 a.m and finished at 4:00 p.m. the same day. We have an airtight freestanding fireplace and they replaced all of the pipe, from the top of the fireplace, through the roof and all outside components. There was a leak in the roof that caused some rust and peeling paint on the firebox. They sanded it down and repainted it, where it stands, without getting paint on anything else. Even the silver screws they painted black. We are so happy with the excellent job that they did!!!"

FAQs for gas fireplace repair projects in Waterford, 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.
