Wow! What a beautiful job! I can't thank Steve and Larry of…read moreFrost and Flame enough for the beautiful work they completed. Wow!!! I was traveling and could not have it done earlier as they had offered. I am enjoying the new gas stove as I write this on a rainy raw day! It is a great stove and looks absolutely fabulous, better than I had envisioned! Thanks again to Frost and Flame for making it perfect. I highly recommend Frost and Flame of Gorham to anyone who is looking for a new gas stove...no more piling or lugging in wood, no more soot or cleaning out the stove. They even made the installation easier as they installed the gas tank and line so I did not have to arrange it with the gas company myself.

From the moment our family walked through the door of Alternative Heat Source, Karl made us feel…read morecomfortable. He did not try to "sell" us a stove, he educated us on the differences, and made a recommendation based upon the stove we were currently using. His son, Kory, came out two days later and took a look at our current stove and chimney layout. He spent nearly an hour looking things over and patiently putting together a couple different quotes for us to ponder. Over the next few days, I emailed Kory with many questions, to which he was receptive and honest, and never tried to pressure us into making a decision. He only provided us with the necessary information to make an informed decision. Once we made our decision, Kory returned ten days later, and professionally installed our new stove. He even moved our old stove into our garage for us. He took the time to touch-up the paint on the stove pipe, and cleaned up every bit of the mess they made, even as minute as it was. I could not be happier with Alternative Heat Source, and highly recommend their sales and service.

After the stove was installed he assisted the Irving tech with the install, and stuck around until the propane was fully functioning. He tested out our stove and showed us how to work the remote and all the features of the stove. I highly recommend their work and professionalism!

Both the person performing the chimney sweep and the person whom I paid the bill for over the phone were really rude for no apparent reason. I have no other chimney service to compare them to in regard to quality of job performed so I can't say they are better or worse than anyone else. However, I do know I will not contact them in the future just due to the fact they were so disrespectful.

We called a different company, who showed us that the wood stove is in obvious need of new parts. Oddly, Maine Stove and Chimney tried to blame the problems on the design of the house (!).

If your stove needs an adjustment that takes 15 min, you still get charged $199 (assuming no parts are needed, that would be extra). For complicated jobs the cost is probably worth it, but for a quick job they are extremely pricey and will not pro rate the $199.

The Hearth Doctor had one job: install a fireplace. They failed at every turn…read more They claim they went "above and beyond." The photos show otherwise. We've owned and renovated three homes, and this was by far the worst experience we've ever had with any company. We hired Hearth Doctor to install a Renaissance 600 fireplace--a pricey, complex unit--and they botched it from start to finish. Safety ignored: They skipped a required radiation shield and told me to stuff insulation against the chimney pipe--an outright fire hazard. Only after I contacted the manufacturer did they reluctantly fix it, which meant removing a chimney already mounted two stories up. Timeline blown: A 2-day job dragged into 3.5 months, with constant delays and misinformation to my contractor. Poor workmanship: They mis-measured, forced rebuilds, denied necessary vents (later confirmed essential by the manufacturer), installed the unit with a broken door, then crudely bent the keyhole instead of replacing it. Finally, the fireplace was left visibly off-level, making finishing work nearly impossible. No accountability: Across six visits between June and September, I never received an apology. When I asked for a discount, they brushed me off, insisting they'd provided a "safe, functional, professional installation" that went "above and beyond" If this is their idea of "above and beyond," I shudder to think what "average" looks like. Bottom line: unsafe, sloppy, unprofessional. Save yourself the grief--do not hire this company.

A technically proficient professional and an easy to talk to guy who explains things clearly and listens to your concerns and ideas. We hired Leroy White to take out an old, creosote-soaked chimney. It was a bit of a tricky job because it was in our living room and we have vaulted ceilings. He clearly explained how he was going to do it, calmly listened to our fears about chimney dust, holes in our roof, and broken floors, and then got the job done ahead of schedule! I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone who is looking for a good mason in the area.
