He is extremely busy, so you will have to wait to get serviced...but it's worth the wait. We used our Home Service Plus from Centerpoint Energy to fix the same problem. They sent out a technician that could barely take the glass off the front. He simply cleaned it and said it was going to be good to go...as it was the best he could do.

After sitting in my driveway for 30-40 minutes (no lie), he finally presented me with a proposed work order. The order included a $99 service charge (even though the problem had already been diagnosed and detailed by the gas company), parts and estimated labor for an additional $375. Fortunately, I know people in the business and called them before signing anything. The parts cost next to nothing (a flex connector and new flare nut) and the job takes 10 minutes or less. Highly irritated that I was still responsible for the $99 service call fee, when it was unnecessary for him to come at all to review what he already knew. Also irritated that I have to go another day without my gas range until a friend can fix it instead. I declined the rest of their inflated parts/labor fees.

"I had them out a few years ago to do $650.00 in tuck-pointing on my chimney since it was causing water intrusion into my basement. Their work started failing at the end of 2024 so I called them to see how much they stand behind their work and if they can at least inspect it to see what other issues the chimney may have. They never called or emailed me back so it all felt like a scam for them to get some quick cash with a half-hearted ‘fix’ when they did the tuck-pointing."

Gas Fireplace Repair questions, answered by experts
Costs depend on material damage, labor, replacement parts, and whether additional structural work is required.
Some homeowners compare German schmear versus limewash because they look similar, though they’re different techniques. German schmear involves a thin application of mortar to stone or brick, which is then partially wiped off the surface. German schmear is more affordable ($1 to $4 per square foot), and it lasts one or two decades with minimal maintenance. As a downside, it only comes in white or gray.
The downsides of brick staining include a complex process and lengthy application. Also, if your brick is damaged or already contains a non-porous sealant or paint, staining won’t be an option as it won’t be able to absorb properly.
When it comes to painting your bricks, you’ve got a few options. Traditionally, lime wash (a mix of aged, burned, and crushed lime and water) was used to whitewash brick or stone. You can also find premixed brick whitewash paint that cuts out a few steps and lets you get started faster. However, for the best results, we recommend using a DIY whitewash (white acrylic paint mixed with water).
If you want to avoid damaging your home's brick, you should always use a stain specifically formulated for masonry projects. These stains are designed to penetrate the porous surface of the brick and bond with it, unlike paints, which sit on the surface and are prone to peeling and flaking. Look for stains labeled for use on brick or other masonry surfaces. Avoid using regular paint on brick, as it will not adhere well and will likely lead to future maintenance issues.
