They did an excellent job, and at the best price we could find in our county for the particular insert we wanted (Napoleon). Over 25 years agao, Forden's also installed two free-standing, wood-burning fireplaces, and a wood-burning fireplace inset, in our home, and all three are still working great. We highly recommend Ferden's for any type of fireplace
Description of Work: Installed a gas fireplace insert in our existing brick fireplace.

They arrived on time after calling ahead and giving a precise estimate of when they would arrive. They put down a tarp and were careful not to soil the rug or furniture. Overall a Very Good job.
Description of Work: They cleaned both our gas fireplaces. They explained how the fireplaces worked since these fireplaces were new to me. They adjusted the remote so that it works from up to 20' away now. They even cleaned the glass on both sides and repainted some of the parts as needed.

They did an excellent job. They were very conscious about safety. The boys that they sent out were excellent. They were big, Christian boys and they did a very good job. They were very quick, very thorough and very safe. I thought that their price was a little high.
Description of Work: Forden's removed the ceiling box and the downstairs fireplace. They also replaced an old chimney out of the other fireplace.
