I called several different contractors and our neighbors had used The Chimney Pro's before. The estimator was very professional and provided an estimate for service of 1/3rd the amount of Jack Pixley Chimney Sweeps. The installers on the day of service were somewhat lacking in professionalism and after I had signed off on the work order that they had "not damaged our home during the service" I noticed that the wall in the front room had a hole in it from the front door handle going through the wall. Not a big deal but, a hassle. I also noticed that they had cleaned up their buckets outside, washing out the morter mix and left residue in our landscaping. Overall, the service was good for the money and we have our chimney back in working order so that we can burn fires this winter.

Escape 30 Inch Gas Insert Heat N Glo…read more So I went ahead and finally purchased my gas insert. It's been a long road on my part and I should be giving FireSide 5 starts just for dealing with me and doing the back and forth phone calls and emails. I just like things perfect what can I say. I decided to go with the 30inch Escape there highest end model for that size. Added the wifi package so I can control the fire from my iPhone of course. Jamie was the brilliant representative I worked with and he was very patient with me and explained everything more than twice. They offer a warranty and extend it for a fee. Plus the warranty on the fireplace from Heat N Glow. This place just seems to have the best equipment and a huge selection. I just had my fireplace install finished yesterday. They did a wonderful job and I love the outcome. I'm even thinking of buying a 2nd for my basement. On a sidenote, after the burn in clean I was putting the frame back together after cleaning which is something I don't think anyone should do except a professional, and I just so happen to have scratched my custom back surround. Fireside was nice enough to have someone come out and totally repaint it and it looks great. They charged me nothing for this service. They also replaced my chimney cap with the black square one and I take fault in not telling them todo that the first time. I just didn't like the SS tube. I was only charged for the extra cost of the black vent. I would definitely recommend this establishment over the competition.

Got the installation set up, they arrived with the wrong part (it was clearly stated on the invoice) and it took several more days and another appointment to resolve. They got it set up and started, and I noticed the (fake) logs were broken. What, were they trying to get rid of bad inventory? I pointed it out and the installer went "Oops!" and had to go back and get some intact ones. This past week, on the coldest day of the season so far, the fireplace wouldn't stay lit and kept cycling on and off. I called - they won't even take calls unless the showroom is open, only a few days a week. I finally called when they were open and got the voice mail. I left all the proper information and here nearly a week later they have not called back. Fortunately the problem had reset itself after several hours of a cold basement. I would have just canceled an appointment but would have liked a callback and explanation. I would have even gone to the store if it was still broken. Perhaps it's fortunate I did not have to. NOT RECOMMENDED, HIGHLY.

No excessive pressure to buy now or anything. We came back and just finalized things including schedule of install. First objective, have a Fireside assessor come out and confirm all the dimensions and setup. This guy was professional, offered options and again, no pressure on the options. I wanted the higher quality fireplace and this meant opening up my brick. Yes, it added to the cost (about $400), but the gentleman did not try to "sell" me either way. My decision. We received an email with all the dates and times of install (the process is for all these companies - install all the components, get city inspector to review, then finish the installation with hookup). There were NO surprises around this. At time of first visit, the Chimney Doctors arrived promptly and did there work quick. The installers were lined up right after them, but didn't arrive right away to take the old fireplace out. No problem, the Chimney Doctors took care of it and continued. Fireside guys came in and did quick work. Signed the papers, scheduled City inspector to come same day - all done by the crew. City inspector came out the same day. He was a pain in the ____ and stated the gas valve had to be moved - even though the gas line that they hooked up to has been there with no issues before. I think the City inspector was mad about his troubles getting up my driveway. Inspector said he would contact Fireside. Final hookup, I go up to the installer while he was working and asked him if the City Inspector contacted them to tell them about the adjustments needed... he did not contact them. No worries... Fireside installer contacted his boss, they finished the job and scheduled to get the gas line moved. Same crew comes over that did the original install and they couldn't believe why they had to adjust the line. I don't blame them, but they did what they had to anyways. On top of it, my boiler system was acting up while they were there. One of the guys looked at it, since he was in HVAC for many years, and offered suggestions on who and how to fix. Very helpful. All in all - This was the easiest experience I have had in a long time from start to finish from a company. I was concerned about paying a higher cost, but either way, it was very much worth it knowing I got a quality install by professional friendly people.
