Description of Work: We got an estimate from a very young looking guy. He was very unsure of himself and sent pictures of our fireplace back to his boss. He gave us several unofficial estimates and said we would get an official estimate by email. The estimate we received via email was several thousand dollars. We used another reference from your list who in turn referred us to a friend who actually did the firebox repair on our fireplace for $ 75.00. He said we did not have broken bricks which Vonderhaar said we needed to replace. We had Vonderhaaar put in a chimney insert several years ago at a cost of $1200. Now we are second guessing that decision.

Response from Vonderhaar Fireplace Stove & Masonry
Just to respond to this customer. The estimate given to the customer was for more than a back wall tuckpoint, which their friend completed. It was also for a more extensive smoke chamber repair, which is why the total estimate was for 905.00 dollars and not thousands. Their friend may have tuckpointed the firebox wall but am pretty sure they would not have had the equipment or tools to repair their smoke chamber. Secondly, the customer never had an insert installed for 1200 but they had their exterior crown (masonry repair) which is the concrete pad on top of the chimney outside, removed and a new form crown poured. The comments made by customer is very inaccurate. And my main concern is that she forgot to mention that the majority of the quote for $905. and not thousands as the customer relayed on the message was for the smoke chamber repair. The tuckpoint estimate on that quote was only $ 150 out of the entire $905 estimate.

Sorry for the delay as we were experiencing some manufacturing delays as we had changed suppliers for our chase covers. We understand your experience was not what you expected nor what we expect to provide our customers.

Response from Vonderhaar Fireplace Stove & Masonry
There were a number of items wrong with customers chimney besides smoking. A rebuild and flashing was done and a back wall rebuild as well. Flashing was properly installed and if it is leaking we would have come back out. The smoking is a process of elimination. The customer did not do everything proposed. Said he wanted to wait per our notes. The fireguard and smoketite coat the interior of the fireplace flue / smoke chamber area and the smoke guard helps keep the smoke contained in the firebox longer so it can draft out. He did not do these items.

Description of Work: Cleaned gas logs, checked for leaks and taught me how to use it. My only complaint is that I "contacted" them through Angie's List and they never responded. Two days later I called them and setup an appointment. Everything was fine except the communication from Angie's list direct never seemed to do anything. Any other time I have used Angie's list to contact, someone has emailed or called me right away.

Sorry about that. We are not paid members of Angie's list nor do we pay to advertised on Angie's list. We are on here because members like yourself have posted reviews. The only time we get a notice/email is when we get a review. Thus never knew you had tried to contact us through this site. Im Glad it all worked out in the end! Thanks for your business!

Description of Work: General Gas Fireplace Tune-up and Maintenance. Replaced transmitter and receiver for remote start. Punctuality was given a "C" based on the fact I was rescheduled to a Saturday and they arrived after the 2 hour window. Overall good experience; technician was knowledgeable, kept area clean, and used drop cloth.

Description of Work: The sales person(Jen) did a very good job showing the models of wood burning fireplace inserts and explaining the differences. The installers were to install the unit we bought on the day after Thanksgiving but called and showed up the day before. After installing the unit the crew fired up the insert and explained in good detail how to fire up and control it. I am well satisfied with the unit and the people at Vonderhaars. |I might note that the price may sound somewhat high but in my case I have a huge stack of well seasoned ash wood that I plan to use to heat most of my house during the winter and substantially reduce my gas bill while having an attractive and safe fire at the same time. |

Description of Work: Brian showed up on time to install new gas logs. This fireplace was in the basement of a house we bought but the original owner never finished. Brian hooked up the lines and installed the new logs. Brian took the time to explain everything about the fireplace. Brian also took extra time to show us how to use a remote for a large fireplace we have in our family room. Brian was great to deal with and I highly recommend Vonderhaar to everyone. Our experience from the store to the installation was fantastic!
