I was introduced to Core Fireplace, more specifically Nick, by a an architect friend. Nick and his guys are an absolute delight to work with! They are extremely professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and reliable. They always respond on time and have done a superb job in two of my locations. Their prices are very reasonable for the great service and products they provide. When we were remodelling our home, Nick was really patient with us. My husband and I couldn't decide on the fireplace we wanted. He was very helpful. He explained the different models and features, and sent us several estimates to make a more educated decision. I highly recommend Core Fireplace and would trust them with my friends and family in a heartbeat! Thanks Nick! And thanks for also fixing my fire pit table! You guys are awesome! read more

If you're looking to complete a fireplace remodel, don't hesitate to call Core! Nick and his crew were GREAT. I, like many people, found inspirations on Pinterest and they were about to bring my vision to life. Nick understood exactly what I was looking for and communication was so easy and the crew were all so professional. They were able to transform my living room fireplace in less than a week. They made sure my fireplace was safe, first and foremost, and aesthetics second, when complete - they showed me how to use it safely and we were good to go. I would highly recommend this company and will personally make sure we reach out to them again for any future fireplace remodels or repairs. read more

From start to finish, our experience with Core was excellent. Nick is incredibly knowledgable about his line of work, and his expertise shows as we could not be happier with his team's work and service. Although our main goal was to bring the fireplace and chimney to safe and working conditions, Nick's team also completed some plaster work on the fireplace surround that involved texture-matching, and the results are flawless. We highly recommend Core for your fireplace and chimney needs! read more

I have had many contractors work on my home in the last 30 years. Core Fireplace and the GM Nick are in a class of their own. Honest (so hard to find these days), competitive pricing, amazing detail, 1st class work and best attitude. Their work was on time and amazing! My living room is one of my favorite rooms now. Obviously, I HIGHLY recommend them! Wes read more

I was very impressed with Nick from Core. He was very quick to respond to all of my texts and very helpful during the service call. He gave me great suggestions on what I could do with my fireplace and even removed my frame and old rack without any extra charge. You can tell he loves his job and cares about his customers. He was extremely friendly and wasn't in a rush at all. I highly recommend him!! I don't write Yelp reviews often but he deserves it! read more

Should be everyone's go to place for fireplace or grill needs!! My family is speechless with the way our fireplace turned out. Nicks attention to detail is unmatched. He is genuinely so picky and doesn't leave the job until it's flawless. I've never worked with anyone before who is as detail oriented. They even went as far as adding lava rocks to our electric fireplace to give it a more realistic effect, which didn't even cross my mind. His team did a flawless job. Don't hesitate to give him a call! He brings your vision to life but even better than imagined. His team even added two extra outlets for us (they think of everything). His team even cleaned up afterwards with not a trace of construction left behind. Core fireplaces goes above and beyond! read more

Nick and his associate did a great job on installing our new custom fireplace glass doors. The process turned out to be more difficult than expected since whoever remodeled our property before purchase did such a poor job. Our fireplace is apparently slightly concave, which did not allow the doors to sit flush on all four corners and left small gaps on the sides. Nick did the best he could, under the circumstances, and took the time to come up with the most aesthetically pleasing solution. Nick was even kind enough to offer to come back and remount the doors once I get the fireplace resurfaced and retiled to resolve the issue. I would have definitely given 5 stars if only follow-up had not become a problem beforehand. While we understand that manufacturing was delayed (a 6 months wait) due to COVID, it was expected that Nick or one of his associates would reach out to inform and update us periodically on the project status. However, I was the one who kept initiating contact in an effort to touch base and figure out when my doors may be arriving so we can begin installation. That being said, Nick is very personable and respectful. Him and his team exercised caution and wore masks + shoe covers every time they came by, which we greatly appreciated since we have two little ones running around the house. I highly recommend his services but a fair warning that you may need to do your part to stay on top of the project status. read more

Nick and core are amazing! Had them do three fireplaces in our house and would go back if I had more fireplaces to do!

Amazing! Went above and beyond. Nick is an absolute pleasure to work with. We're actually having Core back to redo our other fireplace this

What a find this place is! I came in needing some hardcore BBQ education and I found a plethora of knowledge thanks to Nick. I came armed with many questions about some high end grills and he satisfied all my answers. The 1 thing he didn't have at his fingertips he did immediate research on to help me make an informed and right call for my needs. No sales pressure tactics at all from Nick and he was very gracious, patient and extremely knowledgeable about the products and different lines Core has to offer. You're sure to find whatever you need when searching for a new grill here and be sure and see Nick. I would expect he would go above and beyond with his service the way he did for me. I couldn't be happier with Nick and Core. read more

I'm an interior designer in Los Angeles, working for LOUhome. We hired Nick at Core Fireplace to help us renovate 2 fireplaces in the home. Nick and his team were kind and communicative through the whole process. From getting the proper permits pulled to the hard work it took to demo and reframe and install both fireplaces. Here are images of the fireplaces we designed and Nick implemented! Thank you Nick and your team, can't wait to work together again! read more

I found CORE Fireplace & Grills through YELP, and was impressed with all the positive reviews. I had been looking for a new fireplace screen with doors for a very long time. All the local retailers (Tarzana and Encino) were terribly expensive and the prices did not include installation. I finally found CORE! Their fair price included installation. Nick, the owner, was delightful to work with. He said the screen would come within 6-10 weeks and it did. He quickly set up the installation date. The installers, Allen and Polo, came today. They were friendly, careful, clean and efficient. They even grouted (for no extra charge), some of the hearth bricks which, over the years, had cracked. The entire experience with CORE was perfect and I highly recommend this company. read more

Core Fireplace and Grill is one of the most professional companies I have worked with in many years! I have been an apartment manager for many years!

Thank you Nick and your great staff.....Randi, Mgr. read more

Awesome same day service! We called and Nick was at our doorstep in less than 2 hrs. He was super knowledgeable, efficient, and set up our fireplace that had not been running for more than 5 years in under an hour. Would absolutely recommend. Thanks for the quality service. read more

Nick went above and beyond any appliance repair business could've done! In fact he didn't even come to my house! He troubleshoot my fireplace issues via txt and pictures (on my end). I was a little hesitant taking apart my fireplace as I am not experienced in working with appliances. Anyways, long story short, he got my fireplace working by having me locate and resetting a heat switch. I would've paid $150+ for a service charge from any other fireplace businesses!!! If Nick is in your area and you need ANY fireplace services, definitely contact him!!!! He will take care of you as he did with me!!! If I can give 10 stars, I would!!! This company is very knowledgeable and honest!!!! Hard to find that with any appliance repair businesses! read more

Nick came by the next day after the call. He is knowledgeable and guided us through all our questions. Great friendly service.

I cant believe how great these guys are. My HOA used them and then they went out of their way to help me with my fireplace problem that I have been having for years. I called Karo, and within an hour my flame was fixed and he taught me how to do it on video chat. He did not charge me for it as he said he had not needed to come out! It made my day to see that there are people you can trust and want to help you, and that alongside with getting my fireplace problem fixed. I am bookmarking this business and recommend them without a second thought. A really great experience! Thank you Karo for your kindness and being brilliant! read more

Nick, George, and John were a pleasure to work with. We look forward to our next project with the team at Core Fireplace. We basically had a fireplace with a minimal to nonexistent facade that we wanted to be the centerpiece of our living room. In the beginning we presented our vision to Nick. He listened to our plan and enthusiastically ran with it. He knew where to get the materials we needed and walked us around to pick out exactly what we wanted. Then George and John came over, carefully prepped the space, demoed the unwanted hearth, and over the course of a handful of weekends the vison materialized. Each of these guys are who you want on your project. Caring, creative, and crafty! The end result is better than we imagined. It grabs your eyes when you walk in the room. The fireplace is complete, but we kinda miss having the guys around. No worries, we'll see them next time. read more

Core Fireplace & Grills - Thanks Core! - Chimney Sweeps Near Me - Sun valley , California

Amazing customer service, for all these reasons: 1. Nick tried to troubleshoot the problem over the phone at no charge. He looked at pictures I took and talked me through it. When that didn't work, he was fortunately able to come over on short notice (same day) 2. He brought his own shoe protectors and put them on before I even asked. SO kind. As someone who is a bit of a germaphobe, I was so grateful 3. He drove here in the rain. How many contractors in SoCal can say they work in the rain? We literally experienced a plumber leave midway through a project because it started raining. Outside. While he was working. Inside. 4. He was able to diagnose the problem and fix it quickly. And while he was here, he cleaned the fireplace at no extra charge. Including all the cobwebs under the fireplace and all the glass. He probably doesn't want me to post that here, but he just went above and beyond. He also left a couple of free gifts including Christmas chocolates. He was about $150 more than the lowest bidder on Yelp, but I preferred his helpful nature and his motivation to fix the problem. With the other bidders, they acted like they were doing me a favor. Nick enjoys helping people and making their fireplaces look nice. It's rare to find people who take pride in their work, but someone's got to give a shout out to Nick. He's one of a kind. I hope we won't have anymore problems with our fireplace, but he would be my first call. read more

Had a good experience with this business. Nick was polite and he and his crew arrived when promised. Nick worked with me on solving a gas line issue that was in the way of my fireplace refresh. He was also responsive to my project budget and worked with me when I admitted I had to scale down a little, which I GREATLY appreciated. They were fast on install day and when they left I told them I would pass their business cards to my friends. I would definitely recommend them if you'd like a new fireplace setup or want to upgrade the setup you already have, which is what I did. SO happy I did!! read more

I have been looking for SS frame to go with my venetian fireplace walls for a few years, but could not find anything good until I found Nick. From the beginning, Nick has been very patient and responsive answering all my questions. Once the measurements were done, the frames were fabricated quickly. George came to install. He is professional. Everything was done beautifully and he made sure the job site was clean. The result? Beyond my expectations. I ordered some more fire glasses from Nick afterwards. Nick is kind enough to to deliver them in person and help me to set up the pipes as well. Can't say enough good things about them. It is such a pleasant experience. I will post pictures when everything is done. Update with pictures (08/13/2019). read more

Very pleased! We just purchased a home and knew pretty much nothing about the state of our fireplaces or chimneys - except that the prior owners showed them zero love or care and that we were starting from scratch. We reached out to multiple chimney repair / inspection companies and Nick was the first to reply, the most cost-effective and the most helpful. We gave him the lowdown and sent him pictures that our inspector had taken and he broke everything down step-by-step: -How much to have them inspected -How much to have them cleaned -How much to have dampers installed -How much to have flues installed -How much to have them sealed up / capped so that our tears don't evaporate / escape and they remain fancy, daily reminders of what could have been (ok, I'm being dramatic, but the prior owners were THE WORST!!!) Having all of these options, and detailed estimates for each fireplace / chimney gave us a complete overview and helped us make an informed decision. If / when we win the lottery and can give these babies some lovin' we will definitely use Core Fireplace - in the meantime, they're sealed up and safe and some feral raccoon isn't going to be climbing down and sleeping with us tonight. THANKS, NICK! read more

Five Star! After making a phone call, Nick came quickly for a consultation. They can actually come the same week to do the installation l, but I was busy that day. So they came the following week, and had the fireplace installed in 20 mins. Fantastic work. My fireplace is working great! We are very happy with it! read more

I found Core fireplace through Yelp and had Nick to remodel my old fireplace. When first time we talk on the phone, he came up with a good idea to attach a new frame covering up the old frame instead of replacing the whole box, which is pretty close to my budget. Nick is very responsible to cooperate with my contractor and me, and very respect to my personal preference. I believe they put a lot effort to get a perfect product. They installed the new frame, repainted the box interior, replaced the burner, gave me a key for the gas valve and let me practice how to use it. Although the new metal frame came out a bit too thin to flat with the wall but the very next day Nick came back again and the problem fixed. The final product looks just great and modern and I'm happy with it. If you are looking for something creative, customized, modern, and you need a really good and passionate consultant to work with, just go with them. read more

The house we moved into had a gas fireplace which was dead on arrival. It never worked. For years. Nick came by and brought it back to life and looking good as new. Not only was the work excellent, but Nick was insanely friendly and professional. Before he left, he even recorded a couple vids on how to operate the fireplace- because you think you know, until you don't, and that's when you need the info. I highly recommend Core Fireplace, and in particular Nick. Thank you, sir! This happened five months ago, I suck at Yelp. read more

At his first visit, Nick was very friendly and demonstrated care regarding his trade and the repair that I presented him. However, I ended up not working with them having had to continue to chase them for insight/information regarding parts arrival and such and parts being delayed for well over a month. Having made several calls to Violet for follow up (you'd think they would keep me posted rather than having to chase them for updates), I received promises of call backs which never happened. Further, Nick had made commitments with regards to parts and when those deadlines slipped, I never received an update, except that a few days ago when I called to inquire, the timelines were extended additional weeks without any tracking information. I'd give 4 stars for friendly service and what appeared to be good knowledge. I'd give 1 star for their front office 'support' which ultimately was non-existent. All said, I contacted a competitor whom came out next day, diagnosed the fireplace and was able to repair it within 30 minutes suggesting that the parts were working fine - a heat sensor needed to be reset. They even stayed an additional 20 minutes to thoroughly test the unit, and I'm up and running again. I believe Core Fireplace has a lot of good potential to be a better service provider, but as it stands today, I would not offer a recommendation. read more

Core Fireplace is the best in town. Best pricing and best service. Nick and his team know more about fireplaces and grills than anyone else. I've been working with Nick for the past 10 months on a remodel. He's extremely patient and goes over and above for his high maintenance clients (me - hee hee). I had an issue with my fireplace and felt like the flames were even. He came by over 10 times to make adjustments (you have to wait until it cools down so you can only adjust a little at a time). Needless to say it's PERFECT! I'm absolutely in love with my fireplace and love Core!!!! read more

Excellent company from start to finish. Fast quote, reasonable price, fast service and great communication. They completely transformed my fireplace and brought it to the modern age from the 70s. They converted it from fake logs to dazzling fire glass and did a chimney sweep. I had never used my fireplace before and I asked them do a safety check. After the job was completed everything passed the test and it looks beautiful. I use it very often and get so many compliments! I love it and highly recommend them. read more

If you're looking for a new fireplace or fireplace remodel look no further!! Nick and his team are beyond amazing! I found Core on Yelp. His doggy princess Maggie caught my eye first, then his beautiful work! Just wow! I called Nick for a consultation and quote, and he was able to come over the same day. We felt an instant connection with Nick that we decided to hire him on the spot and look no further. Coincidentally, Nick did our neighbor's fireplace in their new home. Beautiful! I showed him multiple fireplace photos that I liked and he was able to guide us in what would look amazing. It felt like a true collaboration. I never felt rushed. He was always so patient and kind, even with my gazillion questions. He's a perfectionist and it shows in his work. They were always on time, never left any mess, and my dogs loved them lol. Nick went above and beyond, so much so that even made (yes made) me a beautiful steel sculpture that sits inside my new fireplace! My fireplace is so sexy and beautiful! I am obsessed with it! It looks like a piece of art! Oooooo and the Italian paint they used is just divine! Everything was done with such care! We are so grateful for everything Nick did for us. We miss him and Maggie (Nick's fur daughter) already! Thank you!!!! read more
