I have a large house with five fireplace with logs, various brands and various problems. Two of them are two sided and did work correctly. I have had two other fireplace companies at the house and neither one of them fixed anything or knew what to do. Neither tech was confident they could fix the problem or get parts. They looked and looked, consulted their phones and gave up and left. I called Monte's Fireplace Service and got Sean Christmann on the phone. I told him what issues were and he made an appointment to come look. Sean and I went from one fireplace to the other together and he diagnosed each fireplace for its unique problem. Three out of five he got working in minutes, on the spot, and he made up a list of needed parts for the other two fireplaces. no messing around trying to guess what was wrong. Sean clearly knows what he is doing and didnt waste any time coming up with a solution and getting the job done. Sean said he will get the parts, repair the other two fire places when he comes back. and will also service, and clean fireplace. Some need to be restocked with glowing embers etc. and he will take care of that and clean the glass. These days its a pleasure to meet a business guy that knows his trade and knows how to solve problems. I highly recommend Sean and Montes Fireplace Service for whatever you fireplace needs are. Great job Sean. Joe Romano, happy homeowner. read more

I meant to write this review months ago! Sean was a breath of fresh air. We just bought a house and we're having lots of work done. Sean was easy to work with, super knowledgeable, fast, and skilled. My husband who is in construction was very impressed with our fireplace framing. He installed our gas fireplace, ran the gas line, and framed in our desired shape. It's been almost 6 months and our fireplace is going strong. We will definitely be going to Sean for our annual maintenance and everything else fireplace. read more

Sean did a phenomenal job for our new built-in fireplace. We live in coffey park and refused to use our old fireplace but now we have this new beautiful built-in gas fireplace. He was patient and understanding and explained every step of the process. If you need a new fireplace look no further and call Sean today. read more

Sean at Montes Fireplace Service did an outstanding job replacing our old gas inserts (with two new ones from On Fire in Santa Rosa). He was easy to get in touch with, gave us a reasonable quote, was always on time, and communicated throughout the process. He installed them quickly and expertly and took the time to explain how to use them. I also appreciate that he left our space spotless and even came back to touch up some grout on the fireplace itself. I highly recommend his services! read more

Installed our fireplace and has been again to do a seasonal maintenance. Was competent, friendly and had a reasonable price. Fireplace continues to work well. read more

We have lived in our house for over 25 years, but stop using the fireplace after the Tubb's fire. my husband has always wanted tile to the ceiling with a built-in fireplace and Sean made our dreams come true. Sean is hard-working, dedicated, and a very kind man. He did a phenomenal job with our built-in fireplace that we purchased from on fire. You won't be disappointed. Look no further and call Sean. read more

Sean, the owner of Monte's Fireplace, did an outstanding job removing and replacing our old wood burning stove with a new Heat & Glo gas unit. He squeezed us into his tight schedule and was always courteous and professional, doing business in a way that is the exception rather than the norm in 2024. Would not hesitate to recommend him. read more

Just had Shawn service my account. He did an excellent job, cleaned it thoroughly - it looks like a whole new fireplace. He arrived on time, was respectful and professional. Highly recommended. read more

Sean took over his dad's business some years ago and Lopi stoves are his thing. Our Lopi is over 20 years old and Sean is so honest and proficient. Highly recommend! read more

I'd like to thank and recommend Monte' s for doing a good job through the whole process of picking out, buying, and installing my fireplace insert. I'd like to especially thank our installer Sean. Professional, on time, and knowledgeable. read more

I have now used Sean twice to install propane fireplaces in my reconstructed (post 2017 fire) home. Both times he picked up the fireplace, installed it very professionally, on-time and for exactly the fee he quoted. The second one he installed he had to cut through the ceiling and roof for the vent. Very professional job. Highly recommend. I was referred to hom the Buck Stove in Santa Rosa. read more

Sean was fantastic. He was professional, timely, and knowledgeable. I hired him to replace a wood burning stove with a gas stove. He came out and did the initial assessment and gave me guidance on the various products on the market. I purchased a new stove from Malm, and Sean did the rest. He picked it up, installed it professionally, and took my old stove to Habitat for Humanity (where I could donate it). He didn't have to take that extra step, but he did. What a class act. You will not be disappointed by Sean and his workmanship - flawless. read more

Moved to Santa Rosa4 years ago and he has installed two fire inserts and cleans them every year -what a find! Have one more to rip out and new install. Great guy ! I'd give a 6 star if i could ..... read more

Called twice at the beginning of March and got a voicemail message saying leave a message and they would get back to me. Never received a return call. Even if you are not taking new appointments, you could at least call back and explain. Very unprofessional. read more

Shawn is so busy but always manages to pick up the phone or get right back to me and answer any questions. He has had to come to my house twice now past 6 o'clock. Nothing that was his fault just some questions about the units. Always very courteous and super professional. You can tell he is very smart and knows what his business inside and out. Montys is very lucky to have this guy. I highly recommend him. read more

Sean is great. Really professional and knows his stuff. I had a pellet stove removed and an electric fireplace installed. He was fast and the pricing was far better than anyone else I had contacted. I highly recommend. If we ever have an issue again he will definitely be the one we call. read more

So, had an appointment and there was a mixup on times and wasn't home when Sean came bye. Rescheduled with him and was home from work 30 minutes before appointment, guess what, he no showed. Called to see if he was delayed, left a message and he never called back. read more

Finally - after previous review, I did get a call. "too busy"- obviously, oh well... we had moved on anyway read more

Great service and expertise. Highly recommend them. Honest, straight forward and professional.

Sean is a gem. He revised our propane log starter from battery-power and remote with battery to a hard-wire with a simple wall switch, and also installed new logs and embers and a new set of doors. He worked with Santa Rosa's OnFire for parts, and they coordinated well. Sean was timely, clean, professional, diligent, persistent against the inevitable obstacles, and just a pro. It is a pleasure to deal with a master at his craft, and such a very nice person as well. read more

Very reasonably priced and down to earth young man. We couldn't be more pleased with Shawn's service. He came to our house and serviced, cleaned our older gas insert, and for 100.00 we are ready for another winter. read more

We have installed a gas insert and two gas stoves with Sean. He is responsive, professional, friendly, on time and provides support when I have a hundred questions. He works efficiently and cleanly. We are about to install another gas insert with him. read more

Sean and his crew did an excellent job with our install. We are very happy with our stove and his work.

Very honest & a pleasure to work with. My gas logs were not working, so I called a business here in Napa to fix them. They came out, said my pilot light was clogged, cleaned it, charged me $215 & it still didn't work. The tec said it now needed a new pilot light assembly & that would be close to $700. A friend told me about Monte's, so I called, they came out, cleaned my pilot & now it works! I am very happy, would highly recommend. read more

Very good service. My fireplace gas insert was not working. After some difficulty getting the original installer (Malm) to provide service, I asked OnFire for a recommendation. The OnFire owner put me in touch with Sean Christmann, the owner of Monte's Fireplace Service, an independent contractor. Sean arrived on time and solved the problem right away. He spread out tarps to protect my carpeting, and in addition to fixing the problem (an interior electrical connection), he performed all the routine service the unit needed after two years of use. He is personable, conscientious and knowledgeable. Took less than an hour; very reasonable pricing. read more

Did not show for an appointment. Called, left an apology in a message and said he would call back and reschedule. Never called back and did not return my calls. May be good but is not reliable. read more

I can't say enough good things about Sean and Monte's Fireplace Service. It was everything I want in a service company and so often don't get. He was sharp, knew his stuff, did a first class installation and communicated very well. I couldn't let this job go unnoticed so had to leave a review. read more

We did a lot of research before ordering our fireplace products from OnFire in Santa Rosa, who then recommended Sean Christmann, owner of Monte's Fireplace. He had innovative approaches to our difficult installation and a fair bid. He installed a FireplaceX wood stove, a FireplaceX gas insert, and a fireplace with gas logs. He is smart, pleasant, and he has a lot of experience in the biz. He travels to Marin. What a great choice we made. read more

Monte's Fireplace Service is Excellent. It doesn't get any better than this. Sean went above & beyond what I had expected. He is knowledgeable & professional. Now, I won't even consider anyone else. read more
