They performed repairs on the chimney of my home in Glendale, and their expertise was evident from start to finish. After the initial inspection, they developed a plan to repair the chimney, including the flue and smoke chamber. However, when the technicians arrived to begin the work, they suggested a different approach: installing a new stainless steel chimney liner instead of repairing the existing flue tile mortar joints. After discussing the options with them, I agreed that the new liner was the better solution. What really impressed me was that Fireplace Freddie completed the new installation at no additional charge, even though it involved more work and took longer than originally planned. They clearly cared more about doing the job right than simply sticking to the original scope of work. After the repairs were completed, they came back to inspect everything and make sure the work had been done properly. They also repainted the fireplace, making it look brand new again! Everyone I worked with, from the initial inspection through the final follow-up, was fantastic. They were professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely a pleasure to work with. It's refreshing to find a company that takes such pride in its work and stands behind what it does. I couldn't be happier with the experience and would absolutely recommend Fireplace Freddie!

Joseph came out and…read morewas so professional but also a really nice person with a genuinely warm smile and personality. Before they started he even helped me close and lock a stuck patio door! Joseph and Irwin set up the cleaning process after the inspection and the whole service was fast, reasonably priced and super clean! Joseph explained that the chimney cap on the house was badly deteriorated and needed replacing, which we also did and I was really glad that he noticed that. He had a new one in the truck so we didn't have to make a second appointment. I feel really good about the cleaning bc it probably hadn't been done in decades. Before he left, Joseph told us that they also install grates and ceramic logs and he recommended those instead of real wood for safety. We'll definitely be reaching out to him to get those installed next. What a great company and what a great team with Joseph and Irwin!! Highly recommend!

Third, their technician/installer Joseph D is very courteous, skilled, cares about the quality of his work, knows how to be inside your home and communicate with you and keep things clean. Fourth, they are prompt, fair, interested in what the homeowner wants. They don't upsell or pressure you. Finally, if you have any concerns, they are interested and responsive ASAP. We're talking about chimneys and fireplaces but not just these things. I'm talking about customer relations and skill, and so I give great praise on these points, overall the way they run their business. Few businesses are accountable, courteous and competent.

From start to finish, my experience with them was outstanding. Their customer service team is genuinely a cut above the rest. They were responsive, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable, making sure I understood every step of the process without ever feeling pressured or rushed. 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. I couldn't recommend Burbank Fireplace & BBQ more highly. If you want a smooth, stress-free experience with results that exceed expectations, this is the place to go!

We've worked with a variety of different contractors over the years, and it's usually the same deal - they're hard to reach, they do an okay job, and they leave a mess (or maybe even damage) behind.

Cut to a few months later when the fireplace was malfunctioning and needed to be replaced (no fault of Caspian). Ben and his crew came through again. Easy to work with, affordable, and a quality result.

Michael inspected the chimney with a camera and quickly found the problems. The original damper was mounted low and blocked much of the smoke chamber, the smoke chamber itself was rough and poorly shaped, and the deteriorated flue liner left large gaps that disrupted the draft. Rather than simply repairing the chimney, he completely re-engineered how it worked. He removed the old damper and installed a top-sealing damper, enlarged and reshaped the opening into the smoke chamber, then rebuilt and smoothed the chamber so the smoke could flow cleanly and efficiently into the flue. The result is remarkable. He took a 50-year-old chimney and made it work better than new. For the first time since we've owned the house, the fireplace drafts perfectly without a trace of smoke entering the room. As a bonus, it looks fantastic too. His crew was equally impressive. They paid attention to every detail, and even though chimney work is inherently messy, they sealed off the entire work area with plastic and left the house absolutely spotless. I'm incredibly grateful I found Michael. It's rare to find someone who combines this level of technical expertise, craftsmanship, professionalism, and genuine enthusiasm for his work. He clearly loves what he does, and it shows in every detail. It's also a reminder of what's been lost. Today, so much of construction is about replacing rather than restoring, and many fireplaces and chimneys arrive as prefabricated systems assembled from factory-made parts. There's nothing quite like finding a true mason who understands how a traditional masonry chimney is supposed to work and has the skill to improve it rather than simply replace it. Craftsmen like Michael are becoming a rare breed, and I'm grateful there are still artisans who take this much pride in their work.

I first reached out to Michael for an inspection when we were in escrow on our home. The home was built in 1967 and nothing had been done to the fireplace/chimney since then. He was incredibly thorough in his inspection and report, to the point that both the seller agent and our agent asked how I found such a good inspector. His quote for repairs was extremely fair and his detail helped us get a credit for the repairs needed. Fast forward to once we moved in, I reached out to Michael to schedule and he was able to get his team out less than a week later. It was over summer, so I would guess in fall/winter, it's likely a longer lead time, but he's extremely nice and accommodating so I'm sure he helps people if they are in a bind. Michael said it would take 2 days to complete the work, which it did (this is honestly refreshing because usually people quote less time and then end up going over), his guys were prompt and did a great job on all the work. They cleaned up after themselves and left the space looking just the way it was before they came. Michael then came out at the end to check out the work and ensure it was up to his standards. He installed faux wood logs and charged exactly what he paid, he didn't upsell us or anything. 10/10 would recommend!

When access issues prevented him from completing the inspection on the first visit, he promptly returned the following week to finish the assessment without hesitation. Not only was he able to track down the replacement part, but he ultimately saved us a ton of money by avoiding a full chimney replacement. He returned the following week to complete the repair, and the entire experience was seamless from start to finish.
