A general rule of thumb according to real estate experts is to set aside annually at least 1% of…read moreyour home's purchase price for maintenance and other unexpected repairs, which inevitably always pop up. And trust me, from leaky toilets and faucets, patches in a roof, constant yardwork, etc . - owning a home means always having to fix or maintain something. I didn't really use the gas fireplace this past winter, mainly because the season was fairly mild, and also because when I went to use it in November 2021, there was a problem with getting the unit to start. So after budgeting for it, I contacted Bryan at NOVA Fire Design for inspection and service. Bryan was very responsive and after my initial inquiry and he returned my phone call the same day. NOVA Fire Design (as of this review) charges a straight $199 for the visit and service + additional charges for parts if repairs are needed. Having contacted three other vendors who are in this field, NOVA Fire Design was the most reasonable. On the appointed day, Bryan showed up on time and made sure to lay down a blanket so as to not scratch up the floors and to catch any dirt and debris. Upon his inspection, he discovered that one of the gas lines was a bit clogged so he cleared it out, also found out the problem with the battery back-up ignition system, cleaned the and reset the logs, and even shined up the glass. One of my neighbors indicated that I "could've" done all of this myself by watching a few YouTube videos...which is technically true. However, when it comes to anything gas and something which could potentially burn my house down, I'll stick with a professional who knows what they're doing - and Bryan certainly does. NOVA fire design is a full service master technicians in this field who have expertise in whole house piping, Gas line installation, Gas Fireplace installs, Gas fireplace repair, Gas fireplace service, Gas Grill lines, Fire Pits, Individual Appliance lines, Framing, Drywall repair, Fireplace Stone Refacing, remove gas lines to convert back to wood burning. And very handy that when I needed to pay the bill, Byran accepts, cash, check, or credit cards. If you need your fireplace serviced or are thinking about installing one, NOVA Fire Design is a great local company to support.

It's 20 years old and we had never serviced it in the 12-14 years we have lived there. I looked at a lot of different companies before booking with Wammoth Services, and I still didn't know what to expect when they arrived. The Hearth Specialist, Bill, took his time cleaning all the years of soot off the fireplace glass, realigning logs and cleaning up inside of, and underneath the hearth. I was so impressed by his thoroughness and his willingness to explain, so much so that I would be more informed enough to even mention realigning logs. Bill confirmed that even with just the pilot light on, the fireplace was so dirty it was putting off carbon monoxide. He cleaned it so well and it's such a relief. If you don't even know the last time you cleaned your fireplace, do it! I'd you want it done by a reputable and great company, use Wammoth Services. I am really glad that I did. Never thought I would be showing off a 20 year old fireplace, but just take a look at the pic!

So basically $350 minimum but not knowing if it was going to be more expensive. I went ahead and booked them since we hadn't really cleaned/serviced our unit in at least 10-15 years. They did a phenomenal job cleaning the unit and the repair ended up being included in the service cost. Highly recommend this company.

After sending photos and doing some phone troubleshooting, we were told we needed a part--and that we'd be lucky if it was fixed before Christmas. Then came a video call with Jason from the DMV area, from ABDB Home Services, who patiently walked us through the process. As it turned out, all it needed was a simple cleaning of a clogged duct--something we could do ourselves. And just like that, it works!

The installation was super professional. The team that came to the house put plastic around the job site (floor to ceiling), ensured that I understood what was happening at each step and the end result was amazing!

They delivered excellent craftsmanship and top notch design experience at a fair price. I initially hired Gerber to tune-up all my existing pavers, add a new paver driveway, and add some new path lighting. Adding the new driveway was somewhat of a challenge as the adjacent paver sidewalks were initially constructed over 10 years ago. So, Gerber was able to find a great match to my existing pavers and masterfully piece the new driveway together in such a fashion where old and new appear seamless. Amazing!!! During the process, we learned that his team also offered landscaping. So as the hardscaping and lighting was coming to an end, his team met with us for a design consultation. Both Kathy and Katherine brought some great experience/knowledge to assess our current situation and offered wonderful ideas to the overall design. We loved what we heard and proceeded with the landscaping work immediately. In the end, we could not be happier! And we look forward to using Gerber and his team should we have any additional hardscaping, landscaping, or lighting needs in the future.
