He would throw tantrums and get mad if nothing went his way, I understand stuff happens but your a grown man doing all of this for what? The installers complain about not getting paid enough, management is decent, work place culture is a 1/10 not the best place to learn anything honestly, the hardest part of the job isn't anything. I really wanted to learn and I felt so unvalued by others no matter how much I really did try to learn. The most enjoyable part of the job was going home. I stuck around longer then I needed to because the installer I was with (whom I was placed with more) I really wanted to learn regardless of what he said about me, talked about me, gave me faces, punched around materials, the owners says he pays for materials and everything but he doesn't. The installers pay for all the material they need besides the pipe and that's it. Honestly,

I spent over $5000 for a wood burning insert and have had problems with the blower from day 1. I even called the district manager who promised he would have John contact me. That was 3 weeks ago and I've heard nothing from either of them. Today I paid a local service person who was able to fix it in 15 minutes. Turned out the sensor had not been properly installed. I will glady absorb this cost just to not have to deal with them any more.

He came out and got the pilot light on and then spent no extra time to see if it would remain. We were then charged an additional $30 for him to do something that took 1 minute.

Does not make sense to me!!! I would call somebody else.

This summer, I needed help resolving a propane gas line issue that had kept us from using our gas…read morelogs for years. I also wanted to have our chimney swept, and knew summer would be the ideal time to get quick service. After searching Google Maps to weed out fly-by-night companies, I found Mr. Smokestack--with an incredible 1,228 five-star reviews. Now I understand why. From the moment I called, the experience was seamless. CJ came out within a day or two, professionally assessed our situation, and gave us a quote for the chimney sweep. He also offered a ballpark idea of the gas line issue, noting that a technician would need to remove the logs to fully diagnose it. Once we realized our gas logs were over 20 years old, we decided to replace them--and CJ guided us through the process with ease. Within two days, we had selected a new fireplace insert, which was ordered and installed just weeks later. I opted to have the chimney swept and capped before the insert installation. Rodrigo, the lead technician, was outstanding--truly one of Mr. Smokestack's greatest assets. Logan assisted during one visit, and Dani during another. Rodrigo explained every step of the process, making me feel confident and cared for. He patiently walked us through the remote control features and helped us choose the best settings for daily use.I am 100% satisfied with both the installation and the product. Mr. Smokestack exceeded every expectation, and I now fully understand how they've earned such a stellar reputation. I cannot recommend them more highly!

After bidding the project to 5 other well-established landscape designers, Rudy offered the best materials and price for the design we had in mind.
