We got a fast response and quote from Justo. He is very knowledgeable and explained all our options. We are unfamiliar with fireplaces and all the variety of options that are possible. Justo was very patient and thorough with us, especially whenever I changed my mind about something or had additional questions. Justo was there to answer our questions and further explain the process. Their prices are definitely reasonable. You will definitely get your money's worth. We are very happy with the results of our beautiful fireplace. We highly recommend using SoCal Fireplace Services. Thank you again Justo & Lizette.

First called this company in Late May/Early June to get a quote for extending our brick fireplace…read moreupwards for a second story addition to our home. Two technicians have been sent. One in June and one this past Thursday at the end of July. Both technicians said they could do the job. First technician ghosted us and asked if we wanted to pull permits or not - a red flag given the scope of the work. Second technician said they would have an estimate for us in 48 hours and four days passed. Both contractors were late despite three hour windows. Second contractor was standoffish when he came by nearly two months after the one who ghosted us. Finally called their office myself thinking that maybe their was miscommunication or that they weren't taking my wife seriously and finally got a person only for them to tell me they weren't licensed or didn't have the ability to do it with little explanation. Asked if they knew a person who could and they said no. There are a lot of red flags so proceed at your own discretion but they apparently decided they didn't want the big job we were offering despite leading us on in an atmosphere where material prices are fluctuating by the month. We didn't even get to hire them and they already cost us money by wasting our time, the general contractors time, the architect's time, and the structural engineer's time. My wife will also be leaving a review with her experience.

I recently had Miguel clean my chimney to a house we purchased earlier this year and hadn't had a…read morechance to use the fireplace, and I can't recommend him enough! He showed up on time, was super polite, and really knows his stuff. Before getting started, he checked my chimney and informed me that the flue was already clean (previous owners possibly had it cleaned), so I only needed a little work on the firebox. Miguel took the time to inspect my entire fireplace and even went up on the roof to point out some areas that needed attention. He genuinely cares about his customers and provided great tips for future maintenance. I was really impressed by his honesty--he decided not to charge me for a full cleaning since it wasn't needed! It's hard to find reliable and honest service these days, but Miguel is definitely one of the good ones. I'll be calling him back when I'm ready to tackle those other issues!

I'm very satisfied with quality of the work. Miguel was very punctual and the price was good. I…read morerecommend this company for anyone needing a job well done. We're keeping this number for future work.

Though I do think we probably would have had better care with Patrick, the owner, we didn't feel like they did their best to try to make amends with our situation. We felt taken advantage of. When their maskless installers came, the log was broken, the high altitude kit was missing (we are located in Idyllwild, which they knew), trim for the interior wall to line the vent didn't fit right, the flex pipe to connect the stove to mainline was not long enough, and the remote was missing. Additionally, the roofer mentioned that the helmet installers had cut way too big a hole and would need a custom flashing, which wouldn't even guarantee that the roof wouldn't leak in the next two years. Around Nov 15th, the temperature got low enough for us to finally use the stove. We noticed it was not firing up properly. Therefore we called the local authorized heating company nearby since we knew, based on past experience, that Hemet would be slow to respond given our prior experience with the . They let us know that the adjustments were not made properly. We had to pay $150 for this person to come out. We continued to use the stove and learned that the stove was not heating up the home sufficiently. Our cabin is 500 sq ft. Based on our conversation with their staff, they validated that the stove would adequately heat our space. After calls and emails, it took them a month to reply. They said because the stove had been worked on by another party, they were unable to accept the return and tried to upsell us on a blower instead. Ultimately, we had to replace the stove purchased from Hemet with a bigger stove which we bought from Idyllwild Heat. My suggestion is, if you live on the hill, go to Idyllwild Heat instead; they are very knowledge, reasonable and personable people. Stay away from this place.

The execution was perfect…read more We live in the mountains and having our fireplace insert being in working order is critical for us. Two service people diagnosed issues with our propane powered fireplace insert. They fixed the issues, reprogrammed remote, cleaned out carbon deposits, cleaned glass inside and out and as a finishing touch, they added material to simulate burning embers. It looks amazing! The two service people were friendly, knowledgeable, professional and very personable. It doesn't get better than that. Well done! I do hundreds of reviews and am extremely picky when it comes to Customer Service. I give this business ***** Stars and they earned every one of them. We highly recommend this business!

We are local residence in Palm Springs and needed to replace an older DCS barbecue…read more I think this team was wonderful... And identified the right replacement and execution to replace the barbecue for us. We had a couple bumps in the road in terms of the barbecue fitting into the space that was available... And yes it was on their responsibility to know that. But in the end, there's always bumps when you're spending thousands of dollars on anything. I felt that they dealt with it very professionally, and without emotion and I totally respected their professionalism to correct and fix the disconnect. These are the type of companies that you want to deal with, because not everything goes perfectly... But they were wonderful, supportive and we love our final product. Please buy product from them and you will be super happy
