The crew did an excellent job of cleaning up -- there was never any litter or trash abound our house. The crew was polite and professional. One small area of damage occurred when a worker slipped and cracked the ceiling on one of our bedrooms. Unfortunately we did not notice this until after the job was completed, as it was in a guest room. When I called about it, there was no questions or issues -Central Roofing had a drywaller come to repair and then paint the area that had been damaged.

The sprayed acoustic ceiling was done extremely well. I have 5 skylights and new stone around the fireplace and not one speck of paint got on any of it. There taping off for this job was extremely well done. He also repaired a few ceiling cracks and they are no longer visible. His assistant, although I was told had been painting for 5 yrs with him, seemed not to know "how" to paint. Hitting the floor and ceiling with the roller on many occasions, thus pulling down acoustic ceiling particles and pulling up dirt from the floor. ( carpet had been removed and the tile was being replaced so getting paint on them was no big deal but by hitting the floor dirt was then transferred to the walls) The assistant had to go back on a lot of the walls and repaint because the last color could be seen through even with 2 coats on already. There are also roller marks on the walls the assistant did although they can not be seen unless you are looking at the wall from the side. The edging they did from wall to acoustic ceiling looks very nice ..(this was not an easy job for them) Although I had to go back and paint the top edging of most of the other walls where it meets the ceiling as you could still see the old color coming through. This problem came down about 1 to 1.5 inches from the ceiling. This however was not noticed until after all painting was done and completely dry and we had a sunshine day to see it. I had to repaint many corners where the paint was not thick enough to cover the old color and around most door frames. This was visible almost immediately but by this time I just wanted my house back so I did it. Because of the price, their punctuality and friendliness I would get them again. I would however look over the work a bit better then I did the first time and catch the problems listed above before they left.

We closed on 12/3/2012 and Chet's had a full crew at the new house all day on 12/4/12 and 12/5/12. They were very professional, laying down drop cloths wherever they walked, cleaning up any additonal debris and asking questions as worked progressed. The removal of the old furnace also required removal of a wood stove that was still working alongside the furnace system (which could not be "hooked up" to the new system due to ventilation issues). The workers did an excellent job removing it and cleaning up. The laundry relocation job was also somewhat challenging and took a day to complete. The house is a quad-level, further complicating the job. The original laundry was also set up for an electric dryer while the new one was to be set up for a gas dryer. All the plumbing and venting was installed where we wanted it to fit our design. We were very happy with all the work that was performed. The addition of the "slop sink" came after being in the house about a month. Again, Chet's was very responsive to our call, had a worker out to the sight the next day to complete the job.

In response to HIGH-TECH's reply, they never contacted me regarding this until I contacted Angie's list, unless you call sending me a invoice them contacting me. By their reply I now understand how the real world of HIGH TECH-HVAC handles their complaints.
There is a sticker clearly affixed to my furnace which states I have a warranty for parts and labor for 10 years on my furnace from 2007 to 2017. This sticker was about 10" away from the area where he performed the work. I had no idea they were not certified to work on a Trane furnace. Had they even once mentioned that, I would have told them to stop all repairs and I would call my furnace provider. I guess I am pretty stupid for thinking this company would be honest enough to tell me I could save myself $275 if I call my furnace installer to have them complete the repairs. He never told me he can only be reimbursed for parts until after I checked further with my furnace provider and found out he was not certified to work on a Trane furnace. This all happened after he had already completed the work. GUY FINK, PRESIDENT OF HIGH TECH-HVAC handled this matter in a VERY UNPROFESSIONAL way and I will not be calling him again for ANY service."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/wi/wisconsin-rapids/high-tech-hvac-co-reviews-5761298.htm"},"position":9},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"Parkside Auto & Truck Sale","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"WI","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Jerome L."},"reviewBody":"I purchased a 2002 VW Cambrio, with 95000 miles, from this dealership. I noticed shortly after purchase, a number of safety issues such as defective headlights, misaligned headlights, burned out turn signal lights. The owner agreed to fix these after sale and did so without any problems. After a day or so I discovered the windshield wiper switch did not properly function. This too was fixed, but after a good deal of monkeying around. They did not have the correct repair manual and did not trouble shoot the problem properly. Instead, they substituted parts until they found one that seemed to work. After I took it off the lot, the wipers again malfunctioned and required further repair. I also noticed that the parking brake did not function properly. Finally, after about a week, they ordered in a new part, the switch and wiper lever, and replaced it. This corrected the wiper problem. The parking brake was promptly fixed. I do not think they know much about electrical circuits. Nevertheless, they honored their obligations. This dealer ship sells used, often high mileage, vehicles. Their prices generally compare to Blue Book and NADA pricing. Their waranty calls for a 50% of cost payment by the purchaser. However, as the repairs I sought had been represented as being ok, and were safety items, they fixed them without objection. This was my second purchase from this dealer. BOTTOM LINE: Check the car thoroughly, and patiently, but firmly, insist they correct any defects. Dont let them weasel out and dont go to another mechanic. Insist the defects are corrected to your satisfaction. You can get a good deal here if you're careful. Would I purchase here again? Yes, but with my eyes wide open."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/wi/janesville/parkside-auto-and-truck-sale-reviews-2294182.htm"},"position":10}]}

They did a great job with our pellet stove installation and love the heat. I've had a wood fireplace before but I like the pellet stove better, easy to take care of with no mess.

The workmen arrived promptly the day they were scheduled. In order to work on the insulation issues, the bottom sheeting boards on the roof had to be removed, then the insulation crew had to work on that area, and then new boards had to go on. The crews were well organized and coordinated...

FAQs for gas fireplace repair projects in Wisconsin Rapids, WI
Fixing a gas leak costs about $45 to $150 per hour for a plumber or gas line specialist. The job’s overall cost will vary depending on the location of the leak. A leaky junction or connection behind the stove or dryer will likely cost about $120 to $170. But for a leak that requires a gas fitter or plumber to excavate a pipe in the yard, the cost could rise to $1,500 to $5,000. Keep in mind that gas leaks are very serious issues, so don’t hesitate to contact a plumber or gas line specialist immediately.
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 $200per 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 $50per square foot, depending on the design. Stone is a more expensive material, averaging between $60 and $70 per square foot.
Yes, it can be worth installing a gas fireplace, depending on your home heating needs. The cost to install a gas fireplace can be much lower than the cost to install a comparable wood-burning fireplace. The convenience of starting a fire with the flip of a switch and turning it off just as quickly makes a gas fireplace a big time saver over starting and maintaining a wood-fueled fire. A gas fireplace also does not require ash cleanup or frequent chimney cleaning to remove creosote and other buildup that can lead to chimney fires. Gas fireplaces burn and heat much more cleanly than wood fireplaces.
A gas fireplace insert costs about $3,600 to install, on average. The cost to install a gas log insert ranges from about $700 to $6,500, depending on the size, type of insert, how it works, and heating needs. Gas fireplaces need electrical and gas lines installed properly, so hiring a pro is recommended rather than trying to DIY installation.
