Although I had to wait several months for a callback (all calls go straight to voicemail), they arrived on time and were very professional and fixed the problem with the gas fireplace ignition quickly.

A short time after I contacted them they reached out to me to set up a service call. I had provided them the information on the fireplace mfg type before they came. The service person diagnosed and fixed the unit during the visit. He also cleaned the fireplace unit. I am happy with the work. This would be a five star review but it was a bit expensive. $295 for the visit and an additional $200+ for the parts and service work. There was no invoice. We paid premium for getting this back up and running quickly and they delivered on this.

Didn’t use. They wanted $295 just for the service call. Extra beyond that. Fortunately, I asked friends for some advice, went online, and learned how to fix problem myself at no cost.

So you didn't use our services, yet felt the need to write a review about it? Not going to lie that's pretty sad.

Thank you very much we appreciate it. Unfortunately our tech wasn't given an email address to send the receipt to. We asked a member of the office to snail mail one to you and he unfortunately passed away before he was able to send anything out. I am working on finishing his open tasks and will be sure to send one out to you asap. Any questions please give us a shout. Enjoy your New Years.

Admittedly I dithered about whether to pull the trigger on the project. I initially got an estimate in January, started to hear worrying news about COVID-19, and decided to delay. By the time I got back in touch in August, the company was in the middle of its busy season. Nevertheless, the communication was terrible. I wrote to them three times in August and September without receiving a reply. I then called them twice. The second time I got through to a grumpy person who told me he would schedule a check-in for the following week and an install for three weeks after that. Today is the day after the planned install date and I've heard absolutely nothing from them. However, in the meantime I've found a different company with much better communication, and as a bonus their pricing is MUCH lower. So it's probably good the Fireplace Guys never got back to me.

Awful. Just awful. First, you need to call and leave a voicemail to talk to someone. Don’t expect a prompt response... they tell you someone will call back in a week. When they do call back, make sure you pick up otherwise, hope you’re willing to wait another week. When the technician finally came, he was very unprofessional - complained about the amount of work he had to do and all of the customers he had to service. Also, when we asked if we could convert our fireplace back to wood burning he said - “I don’t know. You’d have to call someone else”. Um, don’t you work for a company called The Fireplace Guys?? Lastly, when he finally left he said they’d follow-up with a quote for the work. We are now over a month later and still haven’t received a quote. I WOULD NOT recommend this company.
Description of Work: We called the Fireplace Guys to come and give us a quote to replace the gas log in our fireplace and to put it on a new wall switch.

Funny you use a fake name. 1st off as we have explained many times. Small Business+Busy Season+Cold Weather=Delays in calls. We can handle about 100 per day, if we get 200 in a day that puts us behind. If we have 600 messages when we call you, and you don't answer we leave a message and when you call back you are now message 600 plus. Not like we enjoy it, just can't make more calls then time in the day allows. Now to the job at hand. Had I fixed your fireplace as is usually the case you would be beyond happy as most are let's not kid ourselves. Your issue is your fireplace was in poor condition and in need of a replacement, as well as a handful of other work. Soon as we called you over to point out the issues it went down hill. 10 min of hearing how I'm wrong, how it's been working for 9 years without issues, how when you bought the house earlier in the year it was working, and even a few min telling me you had a chimney cap that you don't actually have. You asked if we could turn it back into a wood fireplace and I expanded it could be done, it's just not a service we offer. And believe it or not I'm still a Fireplace Guy, one of the best out there too. Just don't have any interest in rebuilding a chimney from the ground up. Too old for that. After the 10 min of hearing I'm wrong I kindly mentioned again we would be sending a quote in the next few days. You proceed to throw a couple of jabs including I hope this doesn't take as long as a return call. I said goodbye, walked out, and said not a chance I'm sending a quote for this job. Why would I? It's not a requirement to send a quote to everyone who asks. Just like you have the choice to choose a provider for your fireplace, I can choose who I'd like to do buisness with, unfortunately you didn't make the cut. I may crack a joke or two about the workload, usually gets a good laugh. Most people are very understanding of how busy it gets this time of year. Sorry it didn't work out, but just felt it was needed to clear the air, and explain our side.

Thank you very much for your kind words, unfortunately I believe you have the wrong company cuz we do not offer that service this time of year, you do not have any record of doing service at your house, and we definitely do not go to Lunenburg as we are located in Malden. And we don't charge $140 either

I got quotes from three companies. Derek's was the middle quote but he was the only one that actually took the time to explain everything to me and he figured out how we could get an even larger insert in the fireplace where one other company told me they couldn't make it any larger and the third company said he could only replace it with what was already there. Derek showed up on time and the fireplace works great. He also added the brick backer kit and a blower with a remote. I did have an issue with the fireplace after installation where it kept making a loud pinging noise. Derek came back and swapped the entire unit out and re-did the tile surround with any complaints. His team also made sure to clean up after each day. Overall it looks great and I'm going to have Derek add another fireplace shortly.

Started a little slow, but this is their busy time of year - once it got going, it went very fast. Derek and his crew were very courteous and professional. I have had numerous people work on the fireplace and chimney over 40 years and none of them were as good as The Fireplace Guys. They laid down tarps not just in front of the fireplace, but all the way to the door! The sweep they performed before installing the fireplace was the best ever. Cost listed does not include the electrician and the plumber whom I paid myself.

I apologize for the trouble with our responsiveness. We are a small business in the peak of our busy season. All calls are returned within 3-5 days as stated on our outgoing message. Unfortunately not everyone is able to answer the phone when we reply, this often leads to a game of phone tag which unfortunately not everyone is able to understand. We would love to help everyone the moment they call but this time of year thats just not possible. We apologize for the trouble but rest assure we return every call, email, and message we can as quickly as possible.

Terrible. Our time frame given was 1-3pm He showed up at 3:20 He looked at the fireplace, asked who installed and said they put the vent in backwards and all the pipes needed to be replaced. He told me he would email me . 7 days later I had a friend look at it and turns out, the line just needed to be purged (there was air in the line) Would never use this company again

I apologize for your bad experience. According to our service Vehicles GPS our technician arrived at your address at 3:03 p.m. for our 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. arrival window appointment. I apologize for our technician being late unfortunately Route 93 is not very forgiving. During our visit our technician set up his workstation and was informed that the fireplace had not been working since it was moved from one side of the house to the other. At that point our technician begin to examine the venting of the fireplace as this is often an issue when a fireplace is moved from one location to another. During this inspection he discovered multiple issues. 1. The vent termination cap was installed upside down. Having a vent cap installed upside down causes incorrect clearances on the top of the vent pipe. Vents require 3 inch of clearance above the pipe when it's installed upside down you now only have one inch of clearance above the pipe which is incorrect and unsafe. 2. The fresh air portion of the vent was not connected throughout the system. This will lead to temperature issues when the fireplace is operating. 3. Portions of pipe we're not even the correct vent pipe. 4. Improper setup of the logs, media, and burner of the fireplace. Once these issues were discovered it was brought to your attention that the fireplace was not safe to operate and that since the fireplace had been out of production for well over 10 years it was going to be difficult to find the correct replacement parts in order to make your fireplace operate safely. We obviously failed at communicating the amount of time it would take to locate these parts and put together pricing which I sincerely apologize for. I will make it a point in the future to be as clear as possible to the amount of time odd issues like this will take to correct. Again my sincere apologies and we wish you the best with your Fireplace.

An excellent experience. Everything was handles so professionally - the initial call was returned, the first site visit done in the window promised, I was given the options to fix the problem, the price was reasonable, the follow up was even quicker than promised and the removal and installation done with competence and professionalism. I wish all my home improvement interactions were with companies of this caliber. You will not regret hiring Derek and the Fireplace Guys LLC.

Derek was on time, took off his boots and placed drop-cloths by fireplace. He meticulously took off the glass, dismantled the whole system and made the 20 year plus gas fireplace look new! He replaced the pilot light which was no surprise to us. He also recommended a remote controlled thermostat which we needed. This is our primary heat source in the winter and the room would become too hot so it was a constant battle of opening a door and the room got too cold or having to add and then remove layers of clothes multiple times. I cannot rave enough about this company.
