Fine, they came the first time to scope the work. Then they provided an estimate, after which, we scheduled a follow-up when the work can be completed. There was a bit of a delay (about a month) from the time we agreed to do the work until when the installation actually took place, due to the delay from the company manufacturing the caps.

They were awful. He came in, and he didn't go up on the tile roof, and he couldn't inspect it. He tried to sell me a new furnace. They didn't do anything that they were supposed to. I would not use them in the future.

Response from Warm Solutions
Dear [removed member name]: I am baffled with your review almost 2 years after we completed our Safety Evaluation of your fireplace back in April of 2012. After pulling your file, below is a review of our Promotion and recap of your appointment. Our promotion was for a Cleaning and Safety Evaluation. (copy and paste link to review) http://my.angieslist.com/thebigdeal/default.aspx?storefrontitemid=62220&source=17&forceSync=1 When Joe arrived, he informed you he would not be able to perform the service from the top because of your tile roof. Tile roofs are not safe to be on due to their slippery surface and the high risk of tiles breaking/cracking, which can result in injuries. He was however, able to complete the Safety Evaluation from the bottom. Joe informed you when he performed his visual evaluation of your zero clearance (ZC) fireplace that your chimney could not be cleaned due to the separation of your flue joints (they were not connected). Joe then explained to you that your options were as follows: a) Open your walls so your flue could be installed to manufacturer’s specifications b) Install a ZC approved gas burning insert OR c) Remove your ZC fireplace and flue and do a completely new fireplace Joe told you that if you wanted us to propose a, b or c above that he would apply your $99.00 coupon to either of those projects. At the time, you were not interested in any of the above options. Joe left brochures with you to review in case you changed your mind. We never heard back from you until now (almost 2 years after the evaluation). I’m sorry you were not happy to learn that your fireplace was not safe to use.

Moved into a new place so I wanted the chimney checked out and cleaned if necessary. Barbara of Warm Solutions was able to schedule a team of two to visit the next day. They came toward the late end of the 2-4 p.m. window. They brought all the equipment, including mats to keep everything around the fireplace clean, and were able to do the cleaning entirely from inside the apartment - no roof access needed. They cleaned out the soot quickly and left no mess behind.

I had a gas insert installed into a chimney that hadn't been used in 50+ years. I was nervous that it was installed correctly and was venting properly. I didn't really need the chimney sweeping part -- but they did a fine job on the inspection and did some cleaning of my glass facing. They were very professional and on time. For my next cosmetic chimney that I convert to a gas fire place, I will definitely check these folks out.

Barbara at the office was efficient and friendly, called to confirm the day before service. Jonathan and Reno arrived promptly within the prescheduled time frame. The cleaning of the fireplace and checking the chimney on the roof was very efficiently handled. I would recommend this service company. They were very knowledgable and I will use them again for a minor repair.

The technician came right on time. explained to me in detail how firework places work and answered my questions on how to upgrade to a new system, even though the work he was paid to do was to clean the chimney. i was very happy about their services and would use them again next year. if i need to upgrade, i will certainly call them again for a more detailed info and estimation.
Description of Work: the technician did a very good job on sweeping the chimney. he cleaned up my fire place right after and left no pints in my living room. i am very happy about the service.

The owner was the individual who made the visit. He was punctual, personable, and professional. He completed the inspection and the sweep in a timely fashion and provided consulation regarding what the options were for converting the existing wood stove. He was very respectful of my home and left the hearth and floor immaculate. Should I take the next step with regards to changing my wood stove, I would absolutely call Warm Solutions. It was easy to make an appointment, the office staff is friendly, the prices are reasonable and my experience was overwhelmingly positive.

I have a pre-fab (not masonry) fireplace in my condo and needed new fireplace doors. I checked online and at Home Depot and Lowes, and unfortunately, you cannot use pre-made doors on pre-fab fireplaces - you could end up burning your house down!I called a couple of places in SF - one never returned my calls, and the other told me I couldn't get replacement doors (which have to be custom made) for less than $1200, and they couldn't come out to measure for another 3-4 weeks. Then I went to the Warm Solutions store. I made an appointment to get my fireplace measured that week, and here it is about 3-4 weeks later, and I have beautiful new fireplace doors, exactly what I wanted, completely installed, for less than $1000! I'm very happy with the end result.The guys who came to install the doors were on time, very polite, and cleaned up after themselves completely. When you've been working on a home improvement project for awhile, this is something you really come to appreciate! I would definitely recommend Warm Solutions to a friend.

They arrived within their expected window and promptly got to work checking if my chimney needed cleaning. They quickly realized that the frame that hold the glass in front was not attached properly and fixed it promptly while finishing the evaluation. Mine was in perfect condition and I was only charged for the evaluation! They fixed the loose frame just out of kindness!

I made my appointment and later had to reschedule with Barbara who was very pleasant to deal with. She also called the night before my appointment to say they were coming the next day. Joe Prini and John Jacuinde came and were friendly, neat, and clean. Warm Solutions installed our chimney seven years ago, and it has seen heavy use for the last four with no problems..

From start to finish the job went smoothly and very professionally. I had also hoped to install a third fireplace but that proved to be impossible so Joe came up with a viable alternative for the future.
Description of Work: Joe installed two gas fireplaces in my 1907 Victorian house in San Francisco. He came to the house more than once to estimate and inspect the job. He had to remove the old coal burning units and insert gas units then make the frames fit the opening without harming the surrounding tiles. Because the job required running gas lines to the fireplaces, he suggested a gas contractor who was very reasonable and did the work with a permit.

WE ARE VERY PLEASED WITH THE END RESULT. THE FIREPLACE IS BEAUTIFUL AND PUTS OUT A LOT OF HEAT, HEATS THE ENTIRE ROOM. WE DID HAVE A COMPLAINT ABOUT THE INSTALLATION NOT BEING 100% STRAIGHT, BUT THEY CAME BACK AND FIXED THAT AND THEIR SERVICE WAS GOOD. BIGGEST NEGATIVE WAS THAT I DEALT WITH THEM ON THE PHONE MOSTLY AND IT TOOK A LONG TIME TO GET THE ORDER FINALIZED AND GET AN ACTUAL INSTALL DATE SET. THEY DIDN'T SEEM TO BE IN ANY HURRY. INSTALLATION COST WAS HIGHER THAN OTHER COMPANIES I GOT PRICES FROM, BUT THE UNIT PRICE WAS COMPETITIVE AND THEY GAVE ME A FIREPLACE GATE ON LOAN TO TRY OUT, WHICH WAS NICE.
Description of Work: PURCHASED MENDOTA D40 FIREPLACE INSERT WITH COPPER OVERLAY FACE AND SKYTECH WIRELESS REMOTE CONTROL. ALSO INCLUDED IN PRICE WAS THE VENTING MATERIALS AND THE LABOR TO INSTALL PLUS TAX. THEY MEASURED MY EXISTING FIREPLACE OPENING, SUGGESTED THE D40 UNIT AS A GOOD OPTION AND INSTALLED THE UNIT.
