This company serviced my fireplace last year and did a great job, HOWEVER - when scheduling service this year they canceled the morning of the appointment and will not return my calls to reschedule. You will only get a voicemail recording when you call and no response via voice or web.
Carina and Nate did an excellent job----very neat and thorough. Found the problem and fireplace now working. Would definitely hire again.
1st Choice ChimneyBig Blue Builder is the most unprofessional company we have ever worked with. Joe was late every time and did not answer his calls or return phone calls. He left the first job unfinished without ever telling us what happened. He was unable to fix the crown molding back on the cabinets, and he...

"”We tried to support a local businessman. Sad to get ripped off for our veteran’s benefits.” With recommendations from several respected friends we chose Justin and Brittany Jennings, doing business as Innovative Construction, LLC. While processing the loan paperwork we developed a project list with Justin and a bid for each. He selected projects he said he was expert at or certified in. We liked Justin because he was local, well known, and very personable. His suggestions made a lot of sense and we urged him to bid on the high side of things since we would not have extra money after paying the loan on our 40+ year old home. He emphasized his love of family. We did not realize that he would sacrifice ours for his welfare. When we closed the loan on September 11 he estimated that he could finish all our projects (roof, bathroom, building, electrical) in six weeks. Since the projects were large and understanding the challenges of construction, we doubled that time limit and all signed a contract to finish by December 31. Problems started soon after that when we realized that he did not communicate well. It was weeks before he appeared to lay out the groundwork for the building and then he was not present when a sub-contractor did the earthwork. He sent his wife on a rainy Sunday to take pictures of the result. His “workforce” was his two brothers-in-law who were obviously over their head with most of the tasks assigned them, although he showed up late, disappeared early and his supervision seemed to consist mostly of calling them various profane names. Out of over 100+ possible work days (good weather days that weren’t Sundays or holidays) Justin only put in appearances for 31. Usually he was here minutes or a couple of hours, never before 9:30 a.m. and generally absent after 3:00 p.m. The brothers never knew the plan for the next day, what task they might work on, or when they would return as they left. Our yard was covered in construction trash and debris and the grass ruined as they ran water hoses for hours cleaning their tools or a tile saw. We tried to work with Justin to develop a calendar and ensure he was obtaining the right materials. We asked time and again for receipts and accountability of the large advances we’d made so he could obtain materials. He would abruptly leave the worksite so it became difficult to speak with him about these issues. He was often surly and curt when he was present, alluding to problems with affluent people, our tax status, and refusing to share details about the construction. We tried text messages, phone calls, visits to his business office (also his house) and finally resorted to letters to try to communicate with him. Generally he only answered questions about when he would be back to work (not the week of) but avoided any answer about accountability even though the contract he signed said he’d need to provide receipts. The work done in bathroom was obviously substandard but Justin avoided talking to us about it. We finally pinned him down in a meeting in December, days before the deadline where he admitted as such but still could not provide a plan to correct the work. He was facile with excuses – ‘the excavators are all rented this week’ ‘that’s the vanity we were sold’ ‘that guy should know better’ ‘it will look better when it’s done’ – but was difficult to pin to any specific course or action. He removed our roof (shingles and some sheathing) in the middle of December. Weeks later with Justin avoiding us, I went to Whitt Building Supply who were supposed to supply the roof. They would not share information about the roof with me although they understood I was the customer. I deduced that Justin had not actually ordered the roof. The components were finally delivered on January 16, dumped unceremoniously in the yard with Justin fleeing immediately after. He installed some parts in January but blamed Whitt for not sending enough material. Months later and it is still not complete. As it turns out, it is not installed properly where it is, missing closures and who-knows-what-else. Because of this the house and ceilings were damaged during the hail storm on January 9. Justin refused to provide insurance information, saying he would address the ceilings, still not done. I will let the pictures speak about the quality of work done but a short listing of issues includes wrong concrete pad size for the metal building, now eroding away underneath it. There is no easy access to the building, without a driveway or step to enter the knee-high door. We’re not sure if it’s Perks Metalwork issue or Justin’s assembly but the building is now leaking on two sides. Components of the building and electricity, paid for, were never installed. In a seeming malicious act Justin had his brother-in-law tear out the poorly installed shower and dump it in our front yard, where the debris remains to this day. Trash, construction materials, used ear plugs, and fast food wrappers are left strewn over the yard, mixed in with the paint, chemicals, and blobs of concrete they’ve left everywhere. I pick them up as I can but it will require a significant effort and some cost to haul them away and dump it, as Justin was already paid to do. To summarize, Innovative Construction has taken $40,000 from us, not delivered a single project they contracted for, damaged our house, and repeatedly lied to us. They’ve broken the contract to provide receipts leaving us in the lurch with the Veterans Land Board. We are not the only ones this has happened to. At least one other person was the victim of Justin and Brittany’s schemes – see their review on Google. It appears they’v broken the law to establish a trustee account for the construction funds and not use our money for other purposes or projects. The Coryell Sheriff’s Office and City Attorney are sorting through that now. In the meantime, caveat emptor – the only thing innovative about Innovative Construction, LLC, is their ability to separate one from your money and sanity."

The cost to convert a fireplace to gas is $3,000 on average. The typical cost range is $500 to $5,500, with cost factors like whether you need to install natural gas lines and the type of gas fireplace.
If you need to install a natural gas line, you’ll pay $200 to $1,000 on top of additional labor and material costs. Vented gas fireplaces are the most expensive type to install, averaging around $5,000. A more cost-effective option is a ventless gas fireplace, costing around $1,500 since they don’t vent to your home’s exterior.
The average cost to repair a fireplace is $575. You might pay anywhere from $95 to $2,500, depending on the severity of repairs and the type of fireplace. A typical repair of an igniter can range from $100 to $150. However, if you need to repair your mantel, expect the bill to be anywhere from $500 to $1,200. Wood fireplaces tend to cost more to repair due to specialized labor costs. Electric fireplaces tend to be the most cost-effective to repair, along with gas.
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.
The average cost to remove a fireplace is $7,000 but can range from $4,000 to $10,000. Labor costs account for the majority of this price, which can range between $500 and $2,000.
