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!!

When this part of the job was done, they had filled in the missing hardwood floors, put in the needed crown molding and make it look like there was never a fireplace or wall there in the first place! 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."

"Don’t use the plumbing! Called to have Kohler toilet tank plunger repaired. Whole installation is $20. Labor is an hour at $80 so the price is $150, at most. No, they charged $450–BS!

Gas Fireplace Repair questions, answered by experts
Knowing who to hire to install your fireplace is important when it comes to having a safe place to burn a fire in your home. The best person to contact for installing fireplaces is a mason or general contractor who has a National Fireplace Institute (NFI) specialist certification. If you’re installing wood paneling, then it’s a good idea to also find a pro who is Wood Energy Technology Transfer (WETT)-certified.
Both of these certifications show that your pro is well-equipped to install fireplaces and inspect your home for the utmost safety.
Cracks in the chimney can be very serious, depending on their location and size. Even small cracks can become serious over time if left unrepaired. Cracks allow heat and moisture to deteriorate your chimney and harmful carbon monoxide gas to seep into your home. Small cracks can often be caulked, while large cracked sections may require full replacement.
To change the color of your cinder blocks, you have two options. You can either paint them or stain them. Either way, you'll be able to choose from a wide range of color options. Some popular colors for cinder block painting include off-white shades and gray tones, which add a modern spin to the traditional gray blocks.
How long limewash will last depends on the quality of the application and the porosity of the surface. For example, a limewash on brick will last five to seven years. If it's a home exterior application, exposure to specific weather conditions is also a factor. Limewash tends to develop a patina over time, and its natural look masks damage and imperfections well.
Cracked panels, worn-out seals, faulty dampers, and firebrick damage often need professional attention.
