Moved into our house, which is only 5 years old, and the fireplace would not work properly. We were referred to Barry. He advertises himself as a Fireplace Master and he has lived up to his word. A previous service person had just cleaned the fireplace and indicated that if it did not work properly that we should replace the thermocouple, thermopile, and the regulator at an incredible cost.
Barry cleaned the fireplace again, reset the stones, and demonstrated that the flue and cold air vent combination had been installed at a right angle instead of at an angle greater than 90 degrees. He provided us with a safe method to operate the fireplace and it works and does not soot up the glass under all environmental conditions except during high winds. His bill was much less than the other $1000 estimate and he urged us to call him back if there was a problem.
He is knowledgeable, honest, and a clean worker. We can recommend him. read more
