Excellent experience
Description of Work: We bought patio set on July 4th, 2009. The sales folks were very helpful and nice. They even used their own vehicle to transport that day since we needed the furniture that evening. Their product selection was of the highest quality. Very good experience.

Description of Work: The fireplace stopped working. Craig came out within about 24 hours notice to check it out. They informed me up front the labor charge on the phone before setting up the appointment which would be plus parts if needed. Craig arrived promptly and took extremely good care. They remove shoes before coming in. They lay down two moving mats to protect your floors. He explained exactly what he was doing, disassembled and checked everything that could be checked with a voltmeter, checked for gas leaks etc. He inspected each component that could be the cause. He identified an apparent alignment problem with a shut off that appeared to be interrupting the burner operation. He narrowed it down to this or another possible component but decided that it was best to try the adjustment first to avoid possibly replacing a part un-necessarily. He reinstalled the part, drilling a new hole in the mounting frame to ensure it was held soundly in place. He indicated that if this did not fix the problem that under their labor warranty they would return and replace the part for that cost only no additional labor charge. This professional service we received was almost exactly as provided by Maurice who has performed prior maintenance. The training the employees receive appears to very aggressive and factory provided. We have had the fireplace for about 6 years and from the original installation to the routine maintenance have been well cared for by Best Fire. This is a product that does require some ongoing maintenance so I would urge buyers to factor in service issues when they make their purchase decision. I would also note that upon installation their were a few snags but Best did everything possible to address those issues and stood behind their labor and product warranties.

Did not get anything done.
Description of Work: We sought in-store advice, but salesperson was not really knowledgeable. He promised to do some research and get back to us, but he never did. Overall, experience was not very helpful.

From the sales representative to the installers, this was a good experience. The sales representative considered our needs, didn't try to sell us more than we needed. Was efficient and friendly. The estimator was on time and did a careful assessment of what our job would involve. The installers did a fine job of running a gas line through some awkward spaces and getting the fireplace installed. Only one tiny quibble, they installed a switch and the box was a bit crooked. We had someone else fixed that for us. Not a big deal. Everything went quite smoothly. I was pleased.
Description of Work: Installed gas fireplace in newly constructed room. Ran gas line through basement walls, out of the house, up a wall and back into the house.

THEY ARE A LITTLE ON THE EXPENSIVE SIDE BUT WELL WORTH IT FOR THE PROMPT SERVICE, GOOD CONSULTATION AND QUALITY WORK. THEY ARE ALSO VERY ACCOMMODATING AND WILLING TO ANSWER QUESTIONS. THE FIREPLACE WAS ORDERED ON A MONDAY AND FINISHED BY WEDNESDAY. IT TOOK ONLY ABOUT TWO HOURS TO REMOVE AND INSTALL. THE TIME FOR THE JOB WAS MUCH SHORTER THAN WHAT THEY ORIGINALLY ESTIMATED IT TO BE.
Description of Work: THEY REMOVED AN OLD FIREPLACE AND INSTALLED A NEW GAS FIREPLACE IN OUR LIVING ROOM.

IT WAS AN EXCELLENT EXPERIENCE. THEY KNEW THEIR PRODUCT WELL AND DELIVERED IT ON TIME. IT WAS AN OVERALL GOOD EXPERIENCE. IT WAS VERY HARD TO GET IT INTO THE CELLAR BUT THEY BROUGHT ENOUGH PEOPLE TO DO THE JOB WITHOUT BUSTING ANYTHING UP. THEY WERE SECOND BEST ON PRICE BUT I WENT WITH THEM BECAUSE OF THEIR REPUTATION AND LOCATION.
Description of Work: THEY INSTALLED A WOOD PELLET STOVE IN THE BASEMENT, IT INCLUDED THE INSIDE AND OUTSIDE FLUE PIPE AND CAP.
