We received fast service in Malone coming to provide an estimate, scheduling the work, and showing up on time. We receive two other estimates from other plumbers for about the same amount, but then no response from them after that. The job was not inexpensive, but we got the quality of service that we expected and paid for from Malone.

After Russ finished the job, no more water leaks inside the house for over a year now ? he did a terrific chimney repair!

I was impressed that Reddy Piping had done gas conversions on a number of the historic houses in my neighborhood and Dennis understood the issues in heating this big old places. He gave us a quote very quickly and although I nearly fainted at the price, I realized that his quote was the only one out of several I'd gotten that actually addressed all the issues I'd raised, and was probably the most realistic. The work itself went on for several weeks, with different crews coming in to remove the radiators, install the gas burner and hot water heater, install baseboards, and run the pipes throughout the house. Needless to say, it was pretty disruptive (I work from home, which was sometimes impossible while this was going on, but it couldn't be helped, I guess.), but the guys he had coming in were friendly and explained everything they were doing as they went along. It did take a few weeks, and there were days when nothing happened because they had other commitments or some piece hadn't arrived, but overall I would say they did an excellent job (although I did just find a length of old piping that they hadn't removed, just hanging from the ceiling in an unused bedroom, but I will call them to come and take care of that). Anyway, two months later I'm very happy with the comfort level - switching to baseboards was the right call, despite my fear that it would destroy the historic character of the house - and after my first two gas bills I can say that this system will pay for itself in less than three heating seasons. I would recommend Reddy Piping, especially if your heating needs or your house are somewhat idiosyncratic. Dennis really knows what he's talking about.

The plasterer had trouble with his job, and needed to come back after he left, to finish the job correctly. But he did so without too much fuss.

Then he realized that I didn't need to do it at all, that I could vent the gas furnace directly out of the basement through the wall. Why didn't anyone else say that? Why would they assume that I would know that? It took the consummate chimney guy to tell me not to repair my chimney. I really appreciate that kind of honesty and professionalism, plus his willingness to help me think through the problem of getting a new furnace installed without spending thousands more than I needed to.

"On 10.23.23 I hired Shamrock Chimney, address, 3 Mountain St. E, Worcester, MA, 01606, telephone: 508.433.0609, to clean my chimney; upon inspection of the chimney, I was told that the cement crown was damaged and needed replacement, as well as resetting loose bricks at the top of the chimney. The total cost for this work was $1,500.00. This work came with a Lifetime warranty on the 2 steel rain caps, and a 5-year warranty on the masonry. On Feb. 10, 2024, I called Shamrock Chimney and told them that the caps were moving out of place on top of the chimney, tilting as they might be ready to fall off. I told Shamrock's representative that I was fearful that the caps could fall down damaging my roof and cars, or injuring someone walking into my house on the walkway below. Shamrock told me that someone would be out to ensure that the caps were properly secured - however no one from Shamrock came out. After nearly 2 months with no response from Shamrock, on April 4, 2024, I called Shamrock"

"Walkway retaining wall veneer with new stairs. 22,000 cost.
Update from my September 2025 review.
After posting my experience online review about my dissatisfaction with the work and job not being completed.
We both agreed to stop the work (after one year)and Rich to send me a total of 5,000 for broken stone stairs and incomplete work.
A check was sent by Rich for the additional 2,500 after my first review was posted online in September this year.
Funny how that works.
I also noticed that another customer had hired Rich to performed some work. Then like me Rich hired another mason to perform the work without ever finishing the job.
Just like the other review Rich said he fired that person. Same story Rich told me. See a patten here, that odd or a common practice?
Gave one additional star to my first review due to Rich Peavey sending the second check for 2,500."

FAQs for gas fireplace repair projects in Johnston, RI
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.
