Anyways, we bought this house and had it inspected and everything else we were supposed to do, which wasn't cheap FYI. The Inspector-guy checked out the fireplace even (which is gas). We go through the whole moving process which we all know can be a nightmare. I go to do a once over the house while my partner took a shower. I came to the fireplace and I flicked the switch, and... Nothing! I couldn't believe it so i flicked it back off, and then on again. This time i heard it sparking, but still nothing lit. To make a long story short, we were talking to the neighbor and they told us to call CoVa Gas Fireplace Repair. Well at first that sounded a lot like a certain virus we all know but she repeated CoVa Gas Fireplace and I just shrugged (we are from Texas where there is no Gas Fireplaces. I am used to the run-around service companies can give you but i must say that from the beginning, CoVa Gas Fireplace Repair was probably the best service company experience I have EVER had! The were so courteous, polite, and professional. They laid out how their service works, exactly how much it is, and didnt hide their price or alienate me in any way. They listened to what i had to say and within a week they were at my house and did such a great job on the fireplace. They explained EVERYTHING, and even made sure i was comfortable turning it off and on. I will be calling this company for the fireplaces annual service. They could charge twice as much and i still would. you can't put a price on piece of mind or safety, and Cova Gas Fireplace Repair provides both of those services... and gas fireplace service too

He called me a few days later and said he found a company in California that made them and he should have it in between 5 to 10 days. The price was $504.00. He charged my credit card on the 26th of September 2012. After repeated phone calls to him, which he never would return, he finally slipped up and pretty much admitted that he NEVER ORDERED THE PART! I told him to just reimburse me the money and he said he would have "the girl who does their bookkeeping" send me a check. As you can guess, I still haven't heard another word from him and no check was sent. Avoid this "business"! I will have to sue him to get my money back.

I had a serious issue in which my converted garage family room was several degrees colder in the winter and approx that many hotter in the summer because my unused chimney was sucking air from the room up through the chimney out into the atmosphere. They efficiently demolished my chimney and bricked up the wall where the chimney had been. They did a spectacular job, and I can already tell a significant difference. The price was excellent as well, considering how difficult the job was to complete. I intend to use them in the future for any other masonry work I might require, and I highly recommend them to anyone for their chimney needs. They do excellent work demolishing chimneys!

I did not experience anything like those reviews and I do recommend them. July 2020 I contacted Premier Chimney and Roofing to come sweep and inspect my chimney. I had learned about them in a local advertisement mailer. I read the good things about them in online reviews. I had a pleasant conversation with them in scheduling the appointment. The technician came out, swept, inspected, and showed me before and after pictures of his work. He showed all the cracks in my tiles and took the time to explain what my options were to fix it and the severe risks of continuing to use the fireplace. We scheduled to have Premier re-line and re-cap my chimney. They explained Heatshield, the product chosen to re-line it. During the winter, my wife noticed water coming down the chimney through our wood burning insert. Premier was dealing with a temporary COVID related shutdown and I had to use another company for the fix. Matthew, Premier's owner, wanted to see the job through; wanted to make it right. He didn't hesitate to review the work order and reimburse for the work his company would have come out to redo. That's good business. I will definitely use Premier in the future for my chimney needs.

They got it up and running quickly. Turns out there was corrosion built up. I also use them annually for my dryer vent clean out.

They will work hard to fix the issue instead of trying to sell a replacement like other fireplace companies in the area do. Their pricing is reasonable.

I called this company for a diagnostic repair because my gas fireplace was not working. From the…read morestart, I pointed out that I suspected the pilot light assembly was the issue, since it is a common failure point. Two technicians came out and told me the entire fireplace needed to be replaced due to rust, quoting approximately $4,000. As an engineer who works on ships, I am very familiar with the difference between cosmetic rust and structural failure. The rust present was clearly superficial and did not justify replacing the entire unit. I decided to get a second opinion from another company, and they confirmed the problem was the pilot light assembly. They repaired and cleaned the fireplace for under $600, and the unit now works perfectly. I highly recommend getting a second opinion before agreeing to major replacements, as this diagnosis could have resulted in thousands of dollars in unnecessary costs.

Their technician/project bidder, Adam, was polite and initially responsive. He was actually the primary reason I chose them over lower-bid competitor (Keithans Gas and Chimney Services) The scheduling process has been extremely disappointing. Timeline of events: Initial contact: December 9, 2024 Current date: February 22, 2025 5 canceled/rescheduled appointments Multiple no-show instances without prior notification The most frustrating aspects have been: Repeated requests to confirm appointments that were subsequently canceled No proactive communication about cancellations Being redirected between various "divisions" despite being a small company Having to take multiple days off work for appointments that never occurred While I understand weather conditions and unexpected situations can affect scheduling - I want them to be safe and understand some project need to bye dry. But the lack of basic communication and professional courtesy is unacceptable for a company. I've missed days of work to sit at my house waiting for them to show up. As a potential customer, you should be prepared for: Extensive delays - there's always someone else they have to schedule first Poor communication - Adam gave me his business card but his voicemail box is full and doesn't return calls or text The need to constantly follow up even though they send confirmations and then just say they were mistakenly sent. The quality of their work may be excellent, but I cannot speak to that as I'm still waiting for the project to begin after more than two months of scheduling attempts. Here's a copy of the appointments and quote - hopefully this saves someone a headache like we are going through.
