My husband had to tell him a few times to measure then we're told they don't install another independent contractor does the install, not at all impressed. By the end of all this we could only put in a electric which we are more than capable in putting this in ourselves. What a waste of time and money. I wonder if the company knows he takes money like that??? NOT IMPRESSED!!

this is a response to Shauna…read more I'm Steve, I had given you the quote for the fireplaces well before we even spoke about me coming out to your lake lot. we spoke on the phone three of four times in the span of a week. I even asked for pictures before hand so that I could give you information on what could or couldn't be done to try and save a trip out there. When you asked for me to come out to your lake lot (an hour and a half away, one way, so a three hour total trip) thats when I said that I would need money to cover my gas and time, on my day off no less. I advised you well before booking the site check and you even cancelled it once. you were never forced to book the site check. Once out there I had measured everything up for the wood fireplace as we discussed and planned beforehand, once I told you and your husband where it would stick out (3-4 ft into the room due to your roofline) you swapped over to gas, I measured everything up as well for the gas fireplace but there was no real way to get gas to the location you wanted so you then asked for electric fireplaces. I measured up for that and you had asked if we do all the finishing work and tiling etc, which we don't, so I advised that if you wanted a contractor to do that that I could give you the name of someone who could. I also mentioned that he could install the electric. while he would be doing that work as it would save you money on trip charges etc. so after three hours of driving and an hr of being there, I don't think $200.00 is unfair for 4 hrs of time and expertise. I get that you are upset that you paid $200.00 for a result that you didn't want, but my duty is to give my clients honest and proper information. The crazy story that you post as a way to get back at me is quite petty if you ask me but you do what you need to do. To everyone who reads this, once you meet me and talk with me you will know the type of person I am and the service that I give to all my clients. Thank you all and god bless.

They asked what I was looking for and if I had any questions. I replied saying that I wanted to look around and I would ask if I needed assistance. They both smiled and said let us know! Also that they had hot coffee, tea or water if I would like. As I walked around there store I was filled with joy and knew that I was in the right store to purchase. Finally I noticed a wood stove that caught my eye and I asked a young lady named Amanda for some help. She was so amazing! I was blown away with her knowledge and professionalism. We sat down and she was able to provide me with all of the information that I needed. I was extremely impressed. She gave me a price and with no hesitation I said LOAD ME UP!!!! The following day Nov 25 I started installing my new wood stove and had some questions. I called Fireplace Gallery and asked to speak with Amanda hoping she would know the answers to my questions. Well she DID!! She was able to walk me through my entire install. She was amazing. I am extremely impressed with my whole experience. I will always recommend Fireplace Gallery!

Our heat pump wasn't functioning, and because of the reviews on YELP we asked them to send out a…read moreservice technician. The communication beforehand was excellent. The technician arrived on time, was courteous, professional and seemed to be competent. After about 30-45 minutes he told us that we needed to replace the heat pump and that it could not be repaired. We paid the service fee of about $200 and asked that they send out someone who could give us a estimate to replace the heat pump. 2 days later another technician came out, and gave us an estimate. Again, he was on time, courteous, professional and friendly. I mentioned the need to replace the heat pump to a friend who lives in our building. He mentioned another company and so we called them to get an estimate on replace the heat pump. They came out, and looked at it, asked some questions, did some maintenance and the heat pump is working! No replacement needed! Getting this 2nd opinion saved us literally thousands of $. We are so grateful for the other company and will probably not call Acclaimed! again for a repair - since either their technicians are not competent, or they tried to sell us something we didn't need. After I posted this review, the owner of the company apologized for the misdiagnosis and offered to refund the initial service fee. He was very polite, listening and we had a good conversation. He handled this with grace and so much better than other owners. I'll raise my rating to a 2 from a 1 because of this call. It was appreciated.

I tried all the things I could do myself such as cleaning off the filter screen and cleaniing the condenser unit from stray grass clippings. When nothing worked, I turned to yelp to find a well-rated company. I tried several but Acclaimed were the only ones to answer the telephone or e-mail. The technician was personable and arranged for a technician to come next day. I'm accustomed to repairpersons arriving at the end of the time window but Ed arrived right in the middle. In less than two hours he found our problem - a failed electrolytic capacitor. Great to have working air con on these hot July days. I might have given Acclaimed the full 5 stars but I thought they were slightly pricy. On the other hand they did respond quickly to solve our problem. Maybe sometimes you do get what you pay for.

BE AWARE that most of their over priced accessories/fireplaces are easily available on AMAZON or at COSTCO for much less.

If I could give a negative star rating I would…read more We hired Hugh the owner of Capital Chimney Service at the beginning of May to fix the flashing around our chimney as it was leaking. Hugh was the one that did the work. He seemed very knowledgeable, advised me a lifetime warranty on the cap and warranty on the flashing until we get the shingles replaced as he cannot guarantee what the next person does, made sense to me. And the price was too good to be true. I should have known then. He fixed the cap of my chimney first. He had to do it 3 times as it kept cracking. I put it off as his young helper did not mix the concrete right, or it rained the night he poured it. Then it was time to do the flashing. In the quote I have he put down that he will replace all the rotten wood, seal around the chimney 3 feet, install new shingles for the ones he took out and fix the flashing. He did not replace the rotten wood. I was told that it is not bad and could just be left as is. I'm not a roofer/expert so I took his word. Around mid-May he was done. Not even a week later the roof is still leaking, this time there is also a new area that it is leaking from, still within the area that he did all the work. Capital Chimney Service came back to look at it and said it was condensation and to call him when we tear out the ceiling so he can see from the inside what is going on. At this point he said to me "don't worry whatever it is I will fix it." Because of the new leak we had to tear out the walls as water was running down the wall and was wet enough to push your finger through it. We tore out the ceiling and walls, still leaking, not condensation. He came by again and told my husband that he does not believe it is leaking. My husband went on the roof with the garden hose and the roof started to leak. I cannot remember how many times we had Capital Chimney Service back at our place, but I know he only came once to try and fix it. He glued down some shingles and did nothing else. Roof still leaking. At this point I have had enough and got some quotes to get my roof fixed. He got very upset when we told Hugh we had 2 journeymen roofers look at our roof and advise us that the work was not done correctly. I have a very detailed report from one company with pictures that shows me what is wrong. The wrong materials were used and the installation was also done incorrectly. The way Capital Chimney Service instilled the flashing is actually making the water run under the shingles and into the house. We told Capital Chimney Service about it and he said that the roofers are wrong and he did the job right. We had enough of this and on July 20, 2020 the last time Hugh was at our house to "assess" the problem, my husband said that we would like the money back for the flashing job as it will cost us twice as much to get fixed correctly and he can keep the money for the cap. Capital Chimney Service told us that our warranty is now VOID and that he never wants to see us again. Capital Chimney Service has refused to give us our money back, he deleted a post my husband made on Capital Chimney Service facebook account, he has blocked our number and blocked us on facebook and is not returning our texts. We asked him for his company insurance information and he refused to give it to us. I am not asking for the extra money we have had to put in for glue, roof vents that we bought, the tearing out of the walls and insulation that will have to be put back. I do not recommend Capital Chimney Service as they are very unprofessional, is not knowledgeable and does not stand behind their work. And my roof still leaks until the experts come to fix it.

However they have taken the stance that they hold no responsibility for the damage that resulted. Deny deny deny, and hollow avenues of blame is all we feel we have received from this company in response to our multiple attempts to address our concerns. We have no doubt they will address this review with more denials and customer blaming. Unfortunately going through legal channels will be incredibly time consuming, expensive, aggravating and stressful, so as much as it pains us, we've decided to cut our losses. If we could go back in time, we would have just kept looking and skipped all this... it has been an expensive nightmare.
