My focus over the past 17 years has been installing heating appliances and relining chimneys with some custom fabricating in the mix also. My "NEW DESIGN" is the patent pending conversion of o-clearance [sheet metal] fireplace into energy efficient, clean burning,center pieces using the stove of your choice at great savings to the customer. I reuse what is there which can be done in a day with no waste filling up the land fills. The stoves are sold a whole sale prices.
BEWARE of Marc DiVerdi, Owner/Operator of FIREPLACE REFITTER, Shrewsbury, MA. He's an unlicensed contractor who ripped us off big time. We hired Marc to install a woodburning stove insert into a space that was housing a regular fireplace. Marc tore out our fireplace, installed a woodburning stove, and we couldn?t pass inspection. The manufacturer?s installation instructions clearly state that the woodstove must be installed in a masonry fireplace, which we don?t have. The building inspector told us that the installation put us at risk for burning our house down. We had paid Marc $10,372 representing a 1/3 deposit and another 1/3 at the start of the project. We didn't pay him the remainder because the project was rendered a fire hazard; therefore, not completed. Marc refused to remediate this problem; he just took our money and ran. After taking Marc to small claims court, he did repay some of the money we had given him.
Description of Work: Fireplace Refitter installed a woodburning stove insert and completely disregarded the installation instructions. He left us with a woodburning stove the building inspector deemed to be a fire hazard.

He was absolutely fabulous. He is very polite and very professional. He came out in the middle of a snow storm with an estimate. He called me at couple of weeks after the estimate just to make sure we were still on track. I would highly recommend to him anybody. I would use him again.
Description of Work: I used Fireplace Re-Fitter in December. He rebuild the whole stove and cleaned it everything.
