light never stayed on as it should and the remote was unreliable. On multiple occasions, I had the company who installed the fireplace over repeatedly, but they could not seem to fix the problem. Over the years I paid them more than $1000 -- wasted my money!! Fortunately, thanks to Angie's List, I discovered 'Steve the Fireplace Guy'. Kyle came to my house, and in about 15 minutes, he realized that a transformer was never installed which was the reason I was having a problem. Kyle even called the fireplace manufacturer to make certain he was ordering the correct part. Now that the work is complete, the Fireplace works perfectly. Furthermore, the combined cost for 2 service calls plus the transformer was less than I was billed for a single useless service call from the original installation company. Finally, I want to praise Kyle as a lovely person, who arrived on time, was neat, professional and awesome ain diagnosing and fixing my problem!!

The full process from contacting the provider on Angies List getting an appointment to having the fireplace serviced could not have been easier. Many of the other companies that were contacted had very long lead times or much higher prices for the same service with mixed reviews. I prepaid for the service on Angie's List and had no issues getting the initial appointment set then moved to another date when I had a conflict with my original date. They were able to get me another appointment very quickly (2 weeks), again very different then some of the other companies that were scheduling dates 1-2 months in advance at much higher prices. Mr. Watson arrived during the appointment window (3:30-5:30) and made sure to call when he was leaving his previous appointment so I would know when to expect him to arrive. He had brought all of his tools for servicing the fireplace and was very pleasant/friendly when he rang my doorbell. He then proceeded to spend the next 60 min., carefully dismantling and cleaning the fireplace screen/glass/interior logs as well as carefully cleaning all around the interior. Nothing was rushed and he properly laid out a drop cloth to ensure dirt/dust was not spread around the fireplace or on my rugs/floor. Part of the inspection also involved testing for gas leaks with a gas leak sensor and he made sure to check all areas carefully. He made sure everything was re-installed and tested and even added small metallic "wool" balls that were previously not there to give the impression of burning embers when the fire was lit. The fireplace looked brand new by the time he was completed. Before finishing he explained the operation of fireplace to me along with instructions on how to restart the pilot if it ever went out to save me the trouble of having to call him if the pilot ever blew out due to a draft or heavy winds that somehow made their way into the fireplace from the outside vent. He also walked out side and did a quick visual inspection of the outside vent area to ensure it looked ok and the proper screen/protections were in place to ensure the exhaust could be vented and screened to keep birds/small animals from entering the vent area and causing a fire hazard. I would highly recommend this company for any other members looking for this service and would not hesitate to use Bill and Wammoth Services for any other services associated with my gas fireplace.

Very polished and professional. For the removal of drywall and plaster that covered brick we wanted to expose, it went much the same way. I came over in the middle of this part of the job, and the team were pounding on the wall to remove all the plaster?it was messy work as you can imagine. By the end of the day, it was again totally cleaned up. David and his team took extra care to make the wall look great, including wire brushing it with bleach. It's the highlight of our downstairs now! Throughout the job, he showed a lot of attention to detail, making sound decisions for things I hadn't considered, like where a light-switch should go or how to fill in the missing crown molding.

"I’ve been a loyal Snell customer for years, but this recent experience was deeply disappointing. After our AC failed in August, Snell diagnosed a leaking evaporator coil. We chose to replace the system through them, and the salesperson took time to evaluate the setup in advance. However, on installation day, the crew arrived without the correct ductwork and had to make adjustments on the fly. Unfortunately, the adjustments were poorly executed: • The Aprilaire humidifier was mounted on sloped ductwork rather than a level surface, contrary to manufacturer specifications. • The hole for the humidifier was cut inaccurately. • The drain line was left kinked in multiple places. Aprilaire support later confirmed the humidifier was not installed correctly and warned this could lead to water backing up into the system — a concern I had raised with the installers before they left. Despite multiple follow-up attempts, I received no meaningful response. I was told my concerns would be escalated, but no one followed through. This was a major investment, and I now feel I need to bring in another HVAC team to correct issues that should have been resolved from the start. I’ve recommended Snell in the past, but I can’t in good faith do so now after this experience."

Woodbridge Plumbing Inc has been in business since Tom and Anne Kreutzer started it in 1973 in the basement of a house on Occoquan Road with just one plumber, Tom. After three years Tom hired his first employee, David McCullen, who stayed with him until Tom and Anne sold the business in October, 2006. As the business grew, it moved first to a rented space at Canfield Industrial Park for nine years, and then to the current office and warehouse in Telegraph Road Business Park in January, 1987, across Telegraph Road from the back of Target.
"AV was extremely helpful, put in the time to get everything right. And when I had a further question after the repairs, he called me back promptly. The office staff also has been unfailingly helpful and responsive."

Gas Fireplace Repair questions, answered by experts
The most inexpensive option is to paint the brick facing of your existing fireplace. You can create an interesting design with the right color of paint, as long as the brick is in good shape. Sometimes, simply cleaning the brick fireplace makes a big difference in the way it looks. Otherwise, covering an existing stone, brick, or masonry fireplace facing with stucco or concrete is an inexpensive option versus tearing out the existing material and refacing the fireplace.
Limewash and whitewash often appear together in a quick search when looking for ways to paint brick—so, what’s the difference? Limewash paint is one of the most natural and environmentally friendly ways to paint brick. It’s made from limestone and water, giving it an off-white appearance that looks similar to whitewash. However, limewash is semi-permanent, whereas whitewash is a more permanent, watered-down version of existing paint.
Both brick paint options are economical and light in color, but if you want to change the appearance of your home’s brick in the future, then limewash might be a better option.
A hearth often looks like a tile or brick floor that juts out from and surrounds your fireplace. A hearth can be made of stone, brick, ceramic, or any other fireproof material. Brick offers a classic and traditional vibe, whereas a hearth made of marble or ceramic may lean more toward modern aesthetics. The most common depth of a hearth is 20 inches.
You may have some limitations when looking for materials and a design to reface your gas fireplace versus what’s available for a traditional wood-burning fireplace. Some gas fireplace surround ideas include stone, concrete, brick, tile, wood, steel, and plaster. However, you should check with the manufacturer of your gas fireplace model to determine if you have any limitations on what you can use.
If you already have the tools, like a miter saw, a stud finder, and a nail gun or hammer, installing shiplap costs$500 to $1,000 for supplies. You’ll also spend $200 to $2,200 for the cost of an electric fireplace if you decide to add one into your setup.
You can also hire a carpenter for $35 to $100 per hour, plus the cost of materials, to install shiplap around your fireplace. If you need help installing a fireplace before adding the shiplap, labor can cost $225 to $2,180 for fireplace installation costs.
