"Did a good job"

"I have been a regular customer of RCS for about the last 7-10 years and have previously been very satisified by their service. Up until my most recent visit which occurred in December, I have found them to be reliable, fairly priced and service-oriented. I tend to be a very loyal customer when working with service providers, so it was a no-brainer for me to schedule a service visit with RCS when our fireplace began acting up and couldn't stay lit. Our most recent service visit prior to December was in July 2023 and typically for us, a fireplace tune-up and cleaning does the trick, and we are good to go for at least the following year. Due to the season, it took about 3 weeks to get on the schedule, which was fine and understandable. I was not available at the time of the visit. However, according to my wife, the technician arrived on time, was polite, and stayed for about an hour. Upon returning home, especially since it was cold outside, I was excited to begin using the fireplace. I switched it on and it stayed on for about 10 seconds before the fireplace and pilot went out. I tried relighting it several more times (including restarting the pilot light each time) and basically had the same result. In other words, there was absolutely NO difference in performance from before my service visit and after it. The fireplace looked cleaner (as it always does after clean up a tune-up), but the most important part of the service, getting the fireplace up and running was NOT accomplished. I immediately informed Lynnea of the issue by text and over a call and was hoping for a quick resolution, including a return visit by the tech. I got a quick answer, but a disappointing proposed resolution. She said a return visit could be scheduled, but there would be an additional charge of $180, which was a "discounted" rate along with parts if needed. I am fine with the parts, but I did balk at the proposed service charge, as I did not consider the initial visit to have been completed satisfactorily. While the technician may have done a cursory check at the end of the visit, the fireplace only stayed lit for 10 seconds the very first time I tried it, which tells me that he didn't really check it. If I was a brand new customer, I might know any better, but I'm not. This is very disappointing and I'm clearly still not happy even though this occurred several months ago. Every time the temperature drops and I want to use the fireplace, I am reminded of my disappointment with RCS. I expect a company to stand by their work and for their service technicians to be thorough. Neither occurred during the last visit."

"This company is amazing! This is the first time since my husband died that I feel like someone really cared to fix the issue I was having. They came right out to give me an estimate on what was wrong, but ended up fixing the problem right then. The customer service was impeccable, I would highly recommend this company to anyone who needs help with their roof."

"Randy came twice to home for the repairs. Extremely polite, offered to take shoes off, was mindful of wearing a mask and keeping his distance in a gentle way. Took whole stove apart to find two problems. Very neat and tidy. Friendly to our dog. Explained the problems he found, what he could fix now and what parts needed to be ordered. When finished asked me if I had any further questions. He is competent and is the ideal face for your company and their follow through to maintain your excellent products. We have had this beautiful stove for 15 years and use it 9 months out of the year. Company calls to remind you of service the day before and the worker calls when leaving for your home. Appreciate the careful reminders."

"Excellent from beginning to end. Discovered need to repair after new roof was installed. Worked very carefully in doing repair to protect new roof."

"Satisfied with repairs. Fairly expensive however."
