Some time ago, the cover plate of the fire sprinkler on the ceiling of my second floor was knocked…read moreloose and fell off. This happened because my son fell on the third floor and accidentally hit the spot where the second-floor fire sprinkler was located. I knew nothing about this kind of thing and was really worried that water would start spraying out immediately! I quickly reached out on Yelp to several licensed fire protection service providers, hoping someone could help reinstall it as soon as possible. Leon from Central Fire Protection & Services was the fastest to respond--within ten minutes! I asked Leon if he could come quickly to help me replace and install it because I had to go out the next day. Leon asked me to send him photos and a short video. After reviewing them, he reassured me that there was no need to worry, that it wasn't a big problem, and told me to just contact him again after I got home. When we returned from our trip, I contacted Leon right away. Leon patiently and thoroughly guided me online on how to choose the correct new cover plate, how to purchase it, and explained that once I received the parts, I could actually install it myself. Even after receiving the new part, I still insisted on having Leon come install it, since I'm not a professional. But Leon kindly and carefully walked me through the installation step by step. Finally, with Leon's help, I successfully installed the new cover plate! I was so happy--not just because Leon provided all this guidance for free and never tried to take advantage of me, but also because through Leon, I learned something new myself. Now, with immense gratitude, I'm writing this review to give Leon the highest praise for his professionalism, honesty, dedication, and his willingness to go above and beyond. I recommend Leon to all my friends. I myself work in professional consulting, and Leon's values completely align with mine: not putting profit first, but putting truly helping others first! It's because of people like Leon that our world becomes a better place. (Oh, and even when I insisted that Leon give me a quote earlier, the service price he offered was extremely reasonable.) Thank you, Leon!

I'd highly recommend Alex and Oak Fire Protection!

Luckily, they were already working on another project right down the block, so they arrived very quickly. Kim, who was my main point of contact, kept me updated the entire time -- from quotes to procedures and next steps. From this experience alone, I can tell they truly care about their customers and provide a very personal touch, which is rare these days. Thank you to Kim, Ben (owner), and the entire crew. You guys are awesome!

Yes, you did lower the price after seeing that my system only had two sprinklers. But then you…read morecharged me double that amount to replace those same two sprinklers heads and screw in two new ones. You're calling that "emergency repairs"? Again, you told me it was required for compliance -- which is misleading. As I tried to explain to you over the phone, my insurance requirements state that a qualified individual or company must inspect the automatic sprinkler system at least annually, and in accordance with local Fire Marshal requirements, to ensure the integrity of the system. That's it -- no mention of spare parts or emergency repairs for a two-sprinkler system. From what I understand, San Francisco follows NFPA 13 and NFPA 25, which require a spare sprinkler head box only when a system has more than 20 or up to 300 heads, depending on the standard. For systems under 300 heads, the requirement is typically a minimum of six spare heads -- and none of that applies to a system with just two sprinklers. I'm really disappointed that you tried to spin it this way and push unnecessary charges by misrepresenting what's actually required.

Nothing for a week until I started calling. Said they needed a note from fire permitting that I had to get. I went and got the note.

Fixed the problem, but now I have black mold because this group held up work for almost a month.

1-Star Review: Firemax…read more We hired Firemax to install a fire sprinkler system for a brand-new construction in our apartment unit. What should have taken just a few months stretched into two years of delays, constant mistakes, and endless frustration. Oscar, the owner, writes his own contracts without legal guidance, which led to repeated disputes. His team failed to finish the work multiple times, forcing us to hire additional workers to complete the job. He continuously referred us to friends who were not licensed for the work and then charged triple the fair market price. Almost everything ended up being "out of scope," which we were not told upfront. The situation got so bad that we had to hire an attorney and file complaints with CSLB just to get the issues addressed. The only reason we chose Firemax was because they submitted the lowest bid, and we deeply regret that decision. Save yourself the stress, expense, and legal trouble. We had a horrible experience and would not recommend this company to anyone.

I requested a quote from yelp in no times Jose was responding back to me and asked me to send a few pictures of my hood. He gave me a quote and setup the service date. Jose and his crew showed up at my restaurant on Monday afternoon. We met and I showed Jose what exactly needed to be done. Jose! Sent me a text message 3 hours later and said they almost finished. When I showed up at my restaurant and saw the hood I was almost flipped out of how they did it. They cleaned my hood from all the way to the fan and cleaned all the grease out from the duct. My hood is looking like new again. Jose shows me the video of the job what they did. I am very happy with the job they done. I highly recommend to anyone who is looking for hood cleaning. TLC is the is the one for you. Thank you Jose and your crew again. I already showed your work done to my restaurant neighbor and they said they will use your company next time they need the hood service. Nice jobs Jose.
