They have installed a new gas line for a fireplace, fixed my water heater and installed a pressure reducing valve, and done the tub faucet. The plumbers are very nice, courteous, and professional. They know their stuff. However, my only complaint it they aren't upfront with the costs of the jobs in some cases. During their last visit, I decided to change out the tub faucet, and specifically asked how much the part was. The plumber couldn't tell me because he didn't know, and couldn't find the part in their price book. Seeing as the part looked very inexpensive (literally like it was $8 from Menards) I told him to go ahead with the repair. He installed a new pipe for the spout and was done within an hour. Later I was charged $86 for the visit, $50 for the spout and $20 for the use of a tool required to complete the job. The bill came to $160! I was very disappointed with the charge for the tool usage, especially, and contacted Connie about the charge. Her response was that it was an expensive tool, and that they use it so they don't have to solder joints anymore so it saves the client money. Yet they are charging the clients the money I guess they're supposed to be saving. I don't charge my photography clients for use of my camera (which is much more expensive than the tool they used for the plumbing job), so I don't see why they should be charging their clients for tool usage. All-in-all, they do good work, but watch out when the bill comes."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/mn/rochester/1st-class-plumbing-and-heating-reviews-2058840.htm"},"position":4},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"All Starrs Stone Care","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"MN","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Jane W."},"reviewBody":"Excellent job.

I was informed that he wouldn't clean or certify the fireplace for use (woodburning) since there was rust on the insert. He charged me $138.95 for this. He said he would come back with a scope to look and see where the water causing the rust may be coming from. He also added that I likely needed to removed the entire fireplace, change the facing, etc.
While waiting for the next appointment, I called for another opinion from another chimney sweep in town. The second chimney sweep was a little shocked that my fireplace wouldn't be certified since it is an iron insert with only slight bit of surface rusting, which he said would never be a problem and constitutes no risk. He said it looked likely that the rust was due to the type of cap since extreme rain that was horizontal could leak in a bit. He cleaned my chimney and certified it for wood burning, and at the same time, called a colleague who works with this type of insert to make sure he hadn't missed anything. The third colleague came (for free) and agreed that the fireplace was in great shape and was flabbergasted that I would be told it couldn't be certified and I should think of replacing it. By the way, the second chimney sweep who actually cleaned and certified my chimney has worked for the fire department for over a decade, and he doesn't stand to benefit financially if my fireplace needed replacing. Wish I could say the same for Dano's.
I would never recommend this company and warn that any opinion of theirs that includes thousands of dollars of work should be double checked."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/mn/rochester/dano%27s-chimney-sweep-reviews-6310463.htm"},"position":9},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"Steve Green Htg AC","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"MN","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Paul C."},"reviewBody":"Our gas fireplace and our garage furnace was not working.

Then told me to just go online and I could replace them pretty inexpensively. They even provided the part numbers. They could have done all the repairs themselves but I'm pretty handy.

Absolutely terrible. I would put zero stars if I can. they were assigned by my home warranty after we suspected a gas leak in the kitchen. The guy showed up with no equipment. Not interested at all. Put in some soap and said he cannot see a leak. He didn't do any further check and he put...

FAQs for gas fireplace repair projects in Altura, MN
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.
