Made a huge mess of my fireplace door that was working, just needed the insulation band replaced as it was 20 years old and never been replaced. Now we cant use it at all. They took three screws out and lost them tried to put new screws in that were not long enough and the glass was barely hanging in there because the screws were gone that belonged on it. The band was hanging out in the front of the glass and behind the glass and they took two pennies and propped in there between the glass and the bracket to hold the glass in place and left my house. I called them right back and told them that this was not going to work, the job was unprofessional and not completed. The wrong band was brought to fix it and they didnt want to have to come back so they tried to improvise. They came back only to take the pennies out saying "oh I forgot to take those out, was just leaving them in there till the glue dried". Later that evening when my boyfriend came home, he was not happy either. After the guys left after they took the pennies out, I called the Lisa at Light your Fire and she said to email her the pictures of it. So I did. She also said that she was about to be "out of pocket" that she would check her email the first thing in the morning and get back with me. My boyfriend text Kelley Byrd who was the supposed sub contractor/installer and he had nothing but cursing and threats for my boyfriend not in so many words that "he knew it was bad work, but that it was not his problem because he was just the subcontractor that it was Light Your Fire's problem" Funny, Lisa at Light Your Fire said it was Kelley Byrds problem and not theirs". We then called Lisa back again to tell her that his threats asking my boyfriend "to come to his house for a fight", by her contractor was unacceptable. She stated well, "its a he said, she said thing". She stated that Kelley said he did not lose the screws that the screws were gone which is a lie. The stove had never been worked on in 20 years, was working but just needed a new insulation band around the glass. Now its not workable, the glass is barely hanging in there, screws missing and the glass could have fallen out on one of us, or my grandchildren or worse, blown out and burned our house down. To date, 10/23/2013, we have still had no response from Lisa or Kelley, even after stopping payment on their check. To add, its always good to run a background check on the person that comes to your house, and in this case we would definitely suggest it. My boyfriends son who is 21 came in with a new band, (the right one) and fixed it and it looks professionally done. I was out of work a full day, lost $30 for a stop payment on the check and a very unhappy night. I DO NOT RECOMMEND BUYING OR USING THIS COMPANY FOR ANYTHING AT ALL!!! Not even a purchase because they do not and will not stand behind their products. Kelley was 3 hours late for our repair was here for a total of 45 minutes had to come back a second time, the job still was not done right, we got cursed and threatened and disregarded.

I am a third generation mason with over 40 years experience in the masonry industry. I do masonry restorations and repairs. I believe the true measure of success is satisfied customers and my number one priority is customer satisfaction. I will always operate my business with honesty and ethics above all else. A lot of the masonry projects over the last 20 years, especially in Texas, have been performed by semi-skilled tradesmen and the need for skilled craftsmen has never been greater. I do the work myself or with my son, a fourth generation mason. We would like an opportunity to serve you, restore, and repair your brick or stone. We also do room additions and new construction and look forward to working with you. References available, insured for your protection.
