They took the time to explain how my gas fireplace works and how to use it properly and efficiently. They truly went above and beyond. They carefully laid down tarps to protect my home and keep everything spotless while they worked, and when they were finished, my fireplace looked BRAND NEW! The difference was incredible. I would be remiss if I didn't mention their honesty. There was absolutely no attempt to upsell me or convince me that I needed anything unnecessary. Matthew and Scott were genuine, knowledgeable, honest, and just genuinely nice people to have in my home. I will always use Central Jersey Fireplace for any of my future fireplace needs. They have absolutely earned my trust and my business. Their service was truly outstanding from beginning to end, and I'm so grateful for the time, care, and genuine kindness they showed me. Thanks guys!!

Fortunately it was his experience that steered us to a unit that was likely in stock and would prevent an extended back-order waiting period. Once the unit arrived, his team was immediately dispatched in full protective gear for the install. However, it was once the install was completed we realized we chose the right contractor. A small install hiccup brought Mike himself to our home at 8:00 at night to correct. THAT'S what you expect from a top caliber company. Something you really don't see in contractors these days. You won't go wrong with this crew!

For years, I struggled with severe backdraft issues that made it impossible to use. Despite having several other chimney repair companies inspect it, no one could identify the problem.

A few weeks later, they installed a new cap/damper combination and a smoke guard -- and now my fireplace works perfectly. I couldn't be more pleased with the results or their professionalism.

After having roof work done by a roof contractor I discovered a leak in my ceiling by the chimney…read morechase where it penetrates up and out the roof. Calling back the original roof contractor and informing them of the leak they said I needed to replace the siding of the house in the area of the chimney chase at the tune of $4000!! I then began calling other various contractors for this repair and was told all kinds of BS, from having to rebuild the chimney chase, having to wait as they were too busy, too cold (it was December) and told to wait until spring, etc. It was a bad leak and causing damage to my home not to mention the stress caused on me being at the mercy of contractors. So... I kept on searching contractors and came across Up On The Roof Chimney Sweep during I'm sure their busiest time of the year like everyone else's. However Up On The Roof Chimney Sweep promptly returned my call, took my information, promptly came to measure the chimney chase and came back with a reasonable price and did not take advantage of my situation! I scheduled the job with Up On The Roof Chimney Sweep and could not be happier with the quick prompt service and results that were received! It has been a full 2 months with some heavy gusty rains and no leak so this job was given the test of time! There is barely any worse feeling than being at the mercy of contractors when you have a situation that needs to be correctly fixed in a timely matter and not at a contractor's convenience. Up On The Roof Chimney Sweep not only fixed my chimney leak but relieved the awful stress on me from the start with their integrity, price, answering all my questions, and all the way to the finish product which looks great too!

Extensive explanation of the process of the chimney inspection. Tom is very knowledgable and came with the right tools for the job. As he was performing the internal flue inspection with a camera he showed and explained what potential issues he looks for. 2. After Tom completed the cleaning, she show us all the flammable debris that was removed. Much more than I had expected. 3. Walking tarps were placed to ensure there would be no dirt tracked on the rugs and hardwood floors. In addition, Tom for slip-on "booties" worn while working on the house. 4. Very good communications.. throughout the process. I received several email and phone communications in response to several questions I had about the inspection process. I also received a confirmation call from him the day before the service. 5. Function...My appointment was for 1:30PM...he was at the door a few minutes before.

So I'm going to give this place mixed reviews for a variety of reasons. In reality its 2.5 out of…read more5 stars but I can only give 2 or 3 and since 3 is rated "A-OK" I will say its basically "ok". Read below for the details if interested. Nothing shady about this place, etc. from what I can tell.... but basically what it comes down to is bad (not poor) customer service that needs improvement. They did however deliver a quality product. My experience: Recently used them for a fireplace gas cleaning. It took multiple attempts to reach their customer service department who, frankly, wasnt very efficient in responding to my call, but was very quick to just book the service and provide details of what is involved in regular maintenance. I was at least pleased to get the impression they knew what they were doing and maybe the individual scheduling appointments was just having a hectic / busy day. At service, the technician arrived, cleaned the fireplace, and in general, did a very nice job. Thumbs up. However after he left (which was probably a little too quickly to try and run out the door before ensuring it fully works), we noticed a problem in that something electrical went wrong that had never happenned before (because our power had gone out and a circuit blew). We called to address the issue and it "needed to be discussed" before they would talk to us about it, The resolution was to send the technician back out. I however did not like the fact that we were initially dealing with a sales men who tried to blame us for doing something wrong when we were just calling for a regular maintenace checkup and after the checkup the fireplace didnt work (whereas it worked perfectly fine prior to the servicing). We should have been dealing with the service department, store manager, etc. Technician came back out, was once again very professional, looked things over and concluded there was definitely something wrong electrically but he wasnt sure what and that an electrician would have to review it. So back to calling the home office. After some more debate, they agreed to send an electrician out to review. Electrician did an excellent job, figured out that something went wrong (clearly after the maintenace but didnt say why/how), and promptly fixed it. Thumbs up to the electrician. However then they tried to charge us for the service after having previously agreed that they wouldn't unless major work was needed. In the end though they held to their end of the bargain... just it wasnt a very pleasant experience... but we do realize that sometimes mistakes happen and hopefully that was just the case in the first technician doing something accidentally that caused a problem. At least now everything works and is back to normal. Its unfortunate they had to make 3 service calls but because they did (and despite the bad customer service), next time we have a problem or require service I will still give them an opportunity to earn more of our business. This could work out for them in the end anyway because we are considering changing the fireplace mantle, stone, etc. and I really know of no other place to go than East Coast.

There are a few things you want when shopping for a fireplace. 1) Knowledgeable Sales people 2)…read moreGreat Price 3) Great service during and post purchase. With that said, Ember Fireplace was all those things and more. 1) Knowledgeable sales People - Keith and Martha are like no other. Ember fireplace was the 7th place we visited (because my husband is the type of person that needs to SEE EVERYTHING before making a decision) and there is a DISTINCT difference in knowledge that this pair has versus anyone else. They answered all of my husband's anal questions and were able to provide education above and beyond anyone else. When Keith come over our house for measurements, he help adjust our fireplace design to optimize the air flow and heat from our unit, we didn't get that type of feedback from anyone else when we showed them the design. Genius! 2) Great Price - Beat all other places we went to! 3) Great service during and post purchase - Martha kept us in the loop on timing of our delivery (which took a while from overseas). Keith was fantastic with the install, doing and redoing anything that wasn't perfect, adding stones and being patient with me and I angled them over and over. If you are in the market for a fireplace, and you want people that know what they are doing and are a pleasure to work with, this should be your first and only stop. I'm happy to be done with my fire place, but even happier about my experience with this team.
