We bought a wonderful bush/weed trimmer. We worked with Jon Sandford at the Woodway. He even took the trimmer outside and let me start it up myself before we bought it. I absolutely love it and it works great.

James was very helpful to come to our house, walk around the room, and offer suggestions for the placement of the Toyo. Madison was a very skilled and quick with the installation. Madison was also very helpful to track-down an oil gravity flow issue, and install a valve to correct the problem. The office staff was always very courteous when we stopped by with questions or called on the phone.
Description of Work: We purchased a Laser-30 Toyo heating stove from The Woodway, and also hired their technician for the installation.

Description of Work: I went to purchase a woodstove and install from Woodway. Not until the day, 15 mins before, of installation did I get a call from them and was told they would not install a stove in a home that has a 12/24 pitch roof. I asked them to come out instead to look at the home, they begrudgingly came and wanted to do four turns in the chimney going up through a second story. Unreal! |Very unprofessional, very unknowledgeable in installations. | |I took my business to Firesafe Chimney and purchased a woodstove with installation from them. They installed the 12/24 flashing, very professional and knowledgeable. | |Will never recommend Woodway. They only want a monopoly in the Fairbanks area. They do not have any customer service.

Description of Work: Pellet Stove Purchase: The cost for installation, material, smoke stack/vent, and labor is very expensive, which is not included in the elevated cost of the Pellet Stove. With another vendor the stove, smoke stak/vent package, and other items are 1/3 the cost of Woodway.

Everything has a price and the Woodway is no exception. While they may be a little higher than others in town, they definitely provide customer service far beyond the price you pay making everything even in the end!

In each instance we were treated professionally, with courtesy, and they were actually just very nice folk. What we were quoted on price was what we paid, they would suggest items (the wood racks) that were less expensive, but just as good (interested in what we wanted and not just our money), and answered all our questions. I highly recommend this company, their personnel, and we plan to go back there again for our future needs.
Description of Work: We mostly dealt with Roy. He's extremely nice, patient, and explains things clearly. In all of our dealings, about half a dozen times over approx 6 weeks, for various services and items, we had prompt service, courteous personnel, and they did what they said they would. We contracted for a wood stove to be installed. They gave us a good estimate, they came when they said they would, and the work was done professionally and courteously. We also went to buy a few items (wood racks, various sundry items for the stove, fire starter bricks) and again we got exactly what we asked for - they even helped load it into the car.

Bill and Dale are very good at what they do and I would love to work with them again. They came out on the first day, on time, and were always very professional and knowledgeable. Whenever a problem would come up they would talk to us and puzzle things out with us. They always cleaned up after themselves and treated our house as if it were they're own, very respectfully. When I work with The Woodway again, I will request Bill and/or Dale. Shep needs to retire or work behind the counter. He is a very nice man, but his ideas are not up to code. He even once suggested cutting the trusses in my attic....I don't think so. He made a mess of that pass-thru vent and now I will have to re-sheetrock part of my upstairs hallway and part of a closet to repair the damage done. I know he was trying to do what was asked of him, but he is sloppy with his work.
Description of Work: The Woodway was hired to cut 3 new floor vents, one pass-thru vent (a vent to push air from downstairs to upstairs), to re-build our hearth (change the sheetrock to concrete board), and to change the single-wall stove pipe to double-wall pipe. We later needed them to change out our boiler stack as well. The Woodway sent Shep out to do the estimate, but Bill and Dale did the work. While Bill and Dale were doing the demo of the old hearth, they discovered that the base of the hearth not strong enough to support our wood stove so they made it stronger by adding a layer of 3/4" plywood. After the tile was installed, they put together the double wall stove pipe and put the wood stove back in place along with a new heat shield. The 3 floor vents, to let heat pass from downstairs to upstairs, were installed with ease and look great. However, the pass-thu vent could not be accomplished by The Woodway because of the area we need it to go from and to (it's too confusing to explain here so I won't). We have hired someone else to do it. Due to some renovations in our garage we later asked The Woodway to relocate our boiler stack, which Bill and Dale did with ease after the needed parts came in. This included adding new support to the old stack by cutting into the chase thru a bedroom closet wall and adding a "T" joint to the old stack to bring it away from a structure beam.

I really liked their professionalism and customer service. Their billing is 100% accurate and they work with me so that I don't get charged a lot of money. They are one of the best companies I have ever dealt with.

I bought a wood stove and had The Woodway do the install. Total price was around $3,400.The quality of the product was good.At the store, the customer service was poor. They were borderline rude and need to learn more customer professionalism. The installers who did the work for "The Woodway" were rather rude, however they did a good job.Phone calls were not made back to me on the time frames that were given. This is one of the only Wood Stove stores in Fairbanks, Alaska, thus they have the market cornered. Bummer.
