Genuine --and efficient!  Check out the drop cloth he brought for his workspace. Very considerate.

Marvin is top-notch. Here's why: * Very responsive to my initial contact, patient, and came over within two days (my repair was not urgent; other vendors offered appointments a week or so in advance). * Recommended repairing the component rather than simply putting in a new one. * Worked for the fireplace manufacturer but left because of the pressure to replace parts rather than allow him to repair them. * Proactively did a full cleaning and added glowing embers without charge. * Genuine --and efficient; diagnosed, repaired, cleaned, and cleared out in under 30 minutes. Thank you, Marvin!

I stumbled upon these guys on Yelp after calling like, a zillion others and not finding anyone who could service my Jotul gas fireplace insert. They were able to come out within a week and do a cleaning which brought the fire back to life again. They even showed me where to buy a new light bulb and how to install it myself so they wouldn't have to come back out. Plus, they were polite, tidy and priced right.

Fast service that was done well and quickly. Office staff friendly and got me scheduled fast. The tech was knowledgeable and got my fireplace back into shape quickly. I would recommend this business.

Heat and glo?

I don't know what "heat and glo" is. My gas fireplace is a Mendota fireplace originally purchased and installed in 2017. Fireplace Techs did an outstanding job cleaning and restoring it. I hope that answers your question.

Hi, we bought the house about a year ago and need someone to help get our gas fireplaces started, inspected, serviced before we start using it. Can you help? We are at 1102 page street.

Good afternoon Afshin, my name is Maria, thank you for contacting Fireplace Techs, we can definitely help you! Is there a number you can provide us to contact you? Or if you prefer to call us at 925-595-8020 so we can schedule you accordingly.

Ernesto, we're looking into replacing an existing gas log fireplace Insert and looking into replacing it with more modern look to it. It's about 40"W and 32"H. It's that something you guys can do. How much do you think it will cost?

Hi I'm trying to call but unfortunately the mailbox is full and I can't Lena message. I'm in need of service! My fireplace clicks on but nothing, I was told the burner isn't…

Hi we just spoke I just wanted to thank you for reaching out on yelp! I have cleared out my mailbox.

We needed to replace our faulty, 25 year old gas fireplace. We thought it would be a…read morestraightforward job but it turned complicated when we discovered that the firebox that housed the insert had been incorrectly altered during a family room remodel, and was unsafe due to potential fire danger (yikes)! We thought we had to tear out and rebuild the granite surround and mantel in addition to buying a new insert, but Ryan, the manager, and Julio, the installer, who both came to our house to inspect, offered a much less expensive option of removing the unsafe firebox materials, and adding brick to frame the surround. John, the mason, completed that job masterfully, and Julio did a great job installing our lovely new Regency gas fireplace insert. The fireplace itself is so nice. It has a modern, streamlined look, and although we haven't used it yet because of our nice weather, when we tested it after installation, we found that it emits lots of heat and looks so pretty with the flames and the lighted up embers. From start to finish, our experience with Walnut Creek Fireplace was excellent! Ryan was very helpful as we were trying to figure out our plans and what fireplace would work for us (he even came to our house twice). And we were so grateful that Ryan, Julio, and John figured out how to save our existing surround and mantel (saving us lots of money). Had we needed to build a new surround/mantel though, I feel confident that WCF would have done a great job (based on pictures and reviews). Thank you, Walnut Creek Fireplace!!

We hired Penguin Fireplace for a family room renovation centered around upgrading our old…read morefireplace, and we couldn't be happier with the result. We didn't just want a new insert; we needed a complete facelift for the room, and the team absolutely delivered. The project was finished on time, and the new fireplace has completely changed the vibe of our home. If you are looking for a team that is professional, communicative, and truly skilled at what they do, I highly recommend Penguin Fireplace. Thank you to the whole team for a job well done!

Detail oriented, utterly perfect in execution, and on time. Not the cheapest job I've had done but…read morereasonably priced all in. Would absolutely choose them again. Like many customers I wanted to put a TV over a fireplace without it being too high off the ground as this makes for an unpleasant viewing experience. One way to do this is to use the "cool wall" type of installation, which lets you locate a TV right above the fireplace, but this requires building a chase into the room - and the particular room we have is too small for this to be a good idea. I also did not want to use one of the mantle mount options for our TV because that would also bring the TV into the room when lowering it for use which would thereby also reduce the size of the room in front of the TV. So we had a bit of a conundrum. But penguin showed us some options, which allowed us to get our TV low enough without using a mantel mount or a chase at all. Specifically, they showed us an insert that you could put directly on a concrete floor and a noncombustible mantle which you could locate just a few inches over the fireplace opening without risking fire safety. (As a point of comparison, locating a typical combustible mantle above a fireplace requires strictly specified minimum distance, which in effect leads to a much much higher minimum TV installation height..) We also went with a custom surround, which makes the gas insert that we went with look a lot bigger, and also a good proportion for the space that we have... And the design of the insert itself makes it look a whole lot deeper and wider than it actually is by using reflective glass. I'm really pleased with how this turned out. For the wall tile, I'd always had a dream of doing board form concrete and penguin did a fantastic job installing it. This is a fiberglass reinforced concrete veneer product I got from Wall Theory in the color "natural gray." It's worth mentioning that I visited another store that did not think of the options we went with, which left me scratching my head as I stared at a pile of catalogs that they shared instead. Go with Penguin.
