Called John who promptly sent out his service tech to help me start the pilot light that went out on my gas fireplace. Work was performed promptly by a nice guy too. As with any service repair, I would advise you to get a quote or at least a ball park price in advance. read more

Jon was so responsive and helpful in installing our gas insert for our cabin. His installer was also very professional and went out of his way to make sure the paint used matched our house exactly. Additionally, the chimney cleaner contracted with Light your Fire went above and beyond. Highly recommend this business and looking forward to using our insert this winter. read more

I'm leaving this review in hopes of saving someone else from the HORRENDOUS experience I had with Jon. I initially reached out because of an issue that was potentially complex, so we were hoping an experienced professional could help us. On Jon's website, people boast about how he "handled a difficult problem professionally and smoothly" and "took a tough project and broke it down", so I was optimistic and hopeful. I now don't believe those reviews were legit because my experience of Jon was the complete opposite!!! He was extremely CONDESCENDING, UNPROFESSIONAL, RUDE, and not even a little bit helpful. My guess is the people leaving 5 star reviews are friends of his, because there's no way I would ever hire him based on my initial interaction. There are plenty of businesses in the Tahoe area that are run by kind and professional people, so I would definitely take your business elsewhere and not waste your time. read more

Jon at light your fire was quick, responsive, and incredibly helpful. He was able to talk us through all the options, gave us well thought opinions, and ultimately was a great resource in our first time putting in a gas insert. Outside of the service and quality, his prices were very reasonable and his turnaround times could not be beat by other services in the area. Would strongly recommend. read more

We used Light Your Fire to remove & demo an old brick hearth and wood stove, install new gas plumbing into our home, and install a modern gas stove to our existing chimney. I couldn't be more pleased with the experience we had. Jon was very insightful in helping us figure out a plan, extremely responsive and reliable, took great care of our home and went above and beyond in accommodating our unique needs. Costs and timing of the project were exactly as communicated up front which is extremely important to me. read more

The absolute best when it comes to gas stoves, wood stoves, fireplaces, awnings, and solar shades!

My parents had a vision to replace our fireplace in Tahoma and what Jon delivered far exceeded expectations! He truly listened and guided us with his knowledge and expertise. The gas insert is the perfect size, and very efficient. The masonry work is superb with a beautiful design. We trusted the crew while we were away. The prep before was awesome; the hardwood floors and furniture were well protected. We highly recommend Light Your Fire! - Tom and Rita McNamara read more

We learned the hard way during a winter blackout that our gas fireplace was not set up properly to turn on manually. After the storm passed I reached out to light your fire for help. They were available the same morning, addressed the issue immediately, and gave me a full walkthrough of the unit so I can use it more efficiently and effectively, ongoing. Friendly, responsive, and helpful! I couldn't have asked for a better experience, and would highly recommend! read more

Jon at Light Your Fire is great. Several months ago, I wandered into his store with a long list of questions about the gas fireplace at a home we recently purchased. He patiently answered all of my questions and even showed me how to install a new remote thermostat.... using a floor sample to explain how to wire it all up. In addition, we needed to replace a blower fan. He told me how to best identify the fan needed and even confirmed that the supplier I had identified was a good place to buy it from. Today, Tyler from his team came out to replace the blower. He was fantastic! Not only did he perform the repair, but walked me through my unit and provided me some great tips on operate it properly. He was neat and tidy and the fireplace has never looked better. I highly recommend them. read more

We were referred to Light Your Fire through a friend and contracted Jon to do a new gas fireplace for us. As we began working with Jon we realized that he and his crew could do so much more than just install a gas fireplace. They helped us completely remodel our living room which involved removing some very dated, large and dirty rock from the house. As the project wrapped up we replaced our floors only to realize the flooring company would not do trim work... Jon was able to step in and finish the job the flooring company could not. Eventually we hired these guys again to help with our kitchen remodel. This company is professional, more timely than any other contractor in Tahoe and they go above and beyond. read more

Had my fireplace inserts cleaned and they did a great job. The rep they sent out was great - quietly did his job, was respectful of the fact we had kids napping, and really went out of his way to ensure everything was good to go before leaving the job. The bill was exactly as quoted - no random add-ons or overcharges. Simply put, a joy to work with. Highly recommended. read more

We decided that we wanted to replace the wood burning fireplace in our house with a larger, gas burning unit. We looked around the area talked with a number of people and decided that Jon would be the best choice; his enthusiasm and creativity won us over. Jon came out to our house and worked with us on several different design ideas. Jon also has several different mock-ups in his office that allowed us to see different fireplace options, and solidify our plan. He worked with us to design something that met our needs and was aesthetically very pleasing. Jon and team did the construction over several weeks, and took great care to cover the furniture, and keep things tidy. At the end of the project, we had a beautiful new fireplace, and could not be happier. We strongly recommend working with Jon. We are looking forward to relaxing in front of our new fireplace this winter! read more

We also decided that we needed to replace our nasty smoky 1940 style fireplace with a fancy new gas insert. After getting three estimates Jon's was the best and we chose his business as they seemed to know better than any one else on how to deal with the challenging install. It only took one day to get this job done even though it was a very rainy day. Jon's installer John was very professional and positive and kept a clean work site. Much to the relief of my wife, it was done very quickly. We love our new Gas Insert no more smoky fireplace! I would recommend Jon and his installer John very highly. Thank you, you have Lit my Fire! dc read more

This is a great place! Jon and his staff are extremely knowledgable and friendly. Their installation work is top notch. I would highly recommend Light Your Fire for all wood stove needs. read more

Having had difficulties finding good service for our gas stove (the primary source of heat in our great room), we are ecstatic to find Light Your Fire. We called late one afternoon, and Brian, the service technician was at our home the next morning; the problem, it turned out, was with a setting that had never been properly adjusted, at either the time of installation or subsequent servicing. We highly recommend this company to anyone in the Tahoe/Truckee area looking for prompt, efficient and friendly service. read more
