    After Cristian installed our new vented gas log system
    Bonnie G.

    Paul & Cristian did a terrific job. We had a lot of soot on our HVAC filter and it appeared that the previous owner of this house didn't do maintenance on the fireplace . Fortunately we didn't have any serious issues , we did the full clean sweep with camera view of our flue and chimney , We purchased a replacement vented log set w all gas lines and necessary parts items and Cristian installed . Both services were quick and professional and both guys are friendly and respectful . They were on time for both appointments with a text prior so we knew they were on their way . Paul also demos and gives great tips on usage and maintenance. I highly recommend Paul /American Chimney . you can count on the yelp reviews . Keep up the great work!

    Rain cap added

    One word...FANTASTIC!! Paul and his team were so informative and explained everything to me so easily. I bought this house 4 years ago and it was in pretty bad shape. I hadn't had the gas chimney looked at. Paul showed me how to work the gas line, what kind of gas logs I'd need to buy if I wanted any, and what to look out for when it comes to chimneys. My chimney had no rain cap. I had him install one that same day! He even offered to have me text him what logs online I like so he can give me some advice. Truly appreciative of the great communication, great customer service and knowledge! Will definitely be working with American Chimney Sweeps from now on

    First fire of the season! Thank you!!

    See all

After a brief discussion I proceeded to make an appointment, which subsequently lead to an in home visit and measurements taken. To my knowledge, this business offers natural stone (1 year warranty) or cast stone (15 year warranty). I went with the 2nd choice. They been in business for years. After 4 weeks, I received the call that my mantle was ready for final inspection and install. Francisco & Juan Torres came to my house to install the mantle. They arrived on time ready to work. The job required demolition of the old facade and of course, new install. I can not stress enough how pleased I am with the quality of service that both Francisco & Juan delivered! They took the time to do all of the prep work, maintained a clean work area through out the immediate work area, without creating any inconveniences for me. Francisco & Juan completed the job on time while delivering exceptional work!They took the time by paying attention to every detail during the installation and custom fitted pieces to achieve the best result. I was very pleased with the outcome! My mantle looks amazing! Thank you!

I highly recommend them to anyone. You will not be disappointed. Thank you!

From start to finish, my experience with them was outstanding. Their customer service team is genuinely a cut above the rest.

Their technicians arrived earlier this morning (on time, ready to work) proactively slipping on shoe protection not to track in outside dirt into the home (without being asked mind you) demonstrating professionalism and expertise while troubleshooting and resolving all of our issues with a control module for our Montigo Gas Fireplace. Their pricing was far more competitive than any other company I contacted, without sacrificing an ounce of quality or service. It is rare these days to find a business that combines value and excellence so well and I'm grateful to now have their contact saved in my phone the next time I need help with one of my fireplaces.

    So happy to have found Fireplace 911. Starting with Linda (my first point of phone contact), to…read moreRenzo (owner), and Jorge (technician) - communication was excellent, as was attention to detail and cleanliness. This was for a rental property with new tenants scheduled to do a walk-through and sign lease agreement in a few days. After two months of repairs and improvements, I thought everything was ready to go - until I started taking photos and realized the gas-log fireplaces were in need of cleaning and resetting. In a bit of a panic, I turned to Yelp (as owners of my previous fireplace maintenance company had retired) and chose Fireplace 911 - in part due to their positive online reviews, and also to help support a local business. I could not have asked for a better experience and will continue to call upon Fireplace 911 going forward. Thank you so much for fitting me in, and to Jorge for doing an excellent job.

    Updated Review: 5 Stars UPDATE (Editing my original review…read moreafter service completion): I am officially updating my review because FirePlace 911 truly went above and beyond to make things right. After my initial scheduling frustrations, the business owner, Renzo, personally stepped in. He called me immediately after the job was finished and apologized sincerely multiple times for the previous communication issues. The Results: The actual work performed was fantastic. They completed a full refurbishment that included: - Deep Cleaning: Both the chimney and the fireplace are spotless. - Aesthetic Upgrades: They repainted the interior, making it look brand new. - Smart Functionality: They installed new parts and integrated a wall switch system. Now, as long as the pilot light is on, I can start a fire with a simple flick of a switch. Incredibly convenient for my tenants. The finishing quality is top-tier. Seeing the final product and experiencing Renzo's commitment to customer satisfaction completely changed my perspective. It's rare to find a business that takes feedback this seriously and delivers such high-quality craftsmanship. I now highly recommend FirePlace 911 to anyone needing fireplace experts. Thank you again for the hard work, Renzo! ------------------------------------------- Original Post - Rating: (1/10) I am incredibly disappointed with the lack of professionalism and total disregard for my time shown by Fireplace911. Initially, I was happy to be flexible. We had a Tuesday appointment that they needed to reschedule due to a technician's family emergency. I completely understand that life happens and was happy to accommodate them. However, the experience went downhill quickly from there: * Reschedule #1: We moved the appointment to Friday at 11:00 AM. * Reschedule #2: On the day of, they requested to move the 11:00 AM slot to 2:00 PM. I agreed. * The No-Show: They failed to arrive at 2:00 PM and did not show up until 5:00 PM. This was not just a personal inconvenience; this was for an investment property with a tenant waiting. Because of this company's poor time management and lack of communication, I was forced to apologize repeatedly to my tenant for the delay. There is a fine line between a genuine emergency and simple laziness. Changing a time twice and then showing up three hours late for the second window is unacceptable in a professional setting. I highly recommend looking elsewhere for your fireplace needs.

They recommend Simon Munoz and SM Masonry. This turned out to be a great choice. They have first class workmanship and the price is very decent. They take the time to do the job right, are detail oriented and clean up at the end of every workday. By end of each day, when you check on their work, you feel you hired right people to do the job. We are very pleased, and we would like to give them a 5-star rating for their line of work. We were so pleased with their work and the results on our new driveway, we asked them to also expand our backyard patio, which included concrete with brick trim, in order to match our existing patio area. Here, they really shined as they helped us with the design and with knowledge of proper rain runoff and placement of drains. Their brick work is meticulous and the results are beautiful, thanks go out to the SM Masonry project manager, Jose, and his talented team of craftsmen.

Simon is now our go-to man for any future masonry projects.

Simon and his crew created a paradise that we are so proud to come home to everyday. They completed the entire project, ON TIME and within the ORIGINAL agreed budget! There was a real pride of craftsmanship from Simon and his crew. If you have ANY masonry work that needs to be done, Simon and the S&M Masonry crew are your guys!!
