Northrup Remodeling, Roofing & ExteriorsFantastic! Jon provided excellent work and customer service. The job was completed in the time frame he quoted us. This was a very old bathroom on the rental home. Jon put in new flooring, repaired the toilet flange, repaired and replaced drywall, painted the bathroom and tiled the complete...
The report was short on specific repairs but I understand that that is an extra cost.
He was great. Genuinely. Knew his stuff. He knew that the newer models of our fireplace had recognized the same issue we were having and he moved the box that was measuring temperature. Rather than requiring us to purchase a new unit (which was a bit melted looking) he replaced the cover...
Fireplace Doctor LLCJeremy said he was not able to repair this problem, we needed custom exhaust work. He did not charge for the cost. Great guy! Would always go to him first before anyone else.
Nordgren AutomotiveThe installation went really well. Dan and his team are very professional and very picky about the quality. Dan pointed out some things on the structure that needed repair and we appreciated that. The siding and repairs are really nice. Great work!
It went terribly. Although the technician was already fully prepped on what needed to be repaired - down to the location of the leak and description of the parts needed, he showed up asking what was wrong. I showed him the gas line and he said, "Hmmmmm, let me step out and see what we can...
Air Mechanical IncCalled to request an appointment and the plumber came promptly. All repairs were done promptly and correctly and for a reasonable price.

"I wanred brick specislists for an undesirable brick job. John was the first estimator who seemed to know all the details of the project by sight. When his two craftsman showed up, I knew I did good. In terms of integrity, courtesy, skill, craftmanship, and attention to detail, they exhibited OLD-SCHOOL values that just aren't around much anymore. I didn't find one tiny item to pick up after they cleaned. I was glad I met them, and even tipped the two people repairing the brick. It looks great at a fair price."

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 $200 per 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 $50 per 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.
From average costs to expert advice, get all the answers you need to get your job done.
The average fireplace installation cost is $2,438, but prices vary depending on the type and size of the fireplace. Calculate your costs with our guide.
