We recently moved into a new home with a gas fireplace. While enjoying it one evening, the wind…read moreoutside blew out the fire including the pilot light. Even though I was able to get the pilot relit by myself, I still reached out to Alber's from which the previous homeowners purchased the gas insert. Steve was one of their recommended servicers. Steve came out, took everything out of the insert, inspected everything and returned everything where it should be. He even added additional embers to increase the reality of the fire. This is the first time I've had a gas fireplace but the price Steve charged seemed very reasonable. He recommended reinspecting the insert every 1-2 years depending on frequency of use. I will definitely be calling him back when we're ready for any work.

I am so happy to write this review about the outstanding service provided by Steve…read more Our fireplace pilot light went out, and would not re-light despite our many attempts. Steve arrived at our home fully prepared with tools, a blanket (to cover the floor to prevent a mess), and a powerful vacuum. He explained in clear and comprehensible language what he thought the problem might be. As he tackled the job, he told us what he was doing each step of the way, including cleaning the fireplace. The pilot light issue was resolved. In addition to his competence and expertise, Steve was friendly and patient with us, as we had many questions. One quality that really stood out was communication: he quickly responded to my initial call, and thereafter notified me of his anticipated availability and arrival. I highly recommend S.G. Fireplace Services for any gas fireplace issues you might have.

Excellent service ethic. And even better excellent tech. I highly recommend this company for all your chimney and fireplace needs. VERY FAIRLY PRICED

If you are going to install anything yourself or have someone other than their installer do this…read moreAVOID these people. We bought a ventless gas log set from them. I wanted to support a local business and had naïvely felt that they would stand behind what they sold so I did not mind paying the extra money. I would have been way better off buying it on Amazon or another site online! I already had the gas line so I just needed to replace the old log set. First of all, when my wife picked it up you must sign a waiver that says you have a total of 24 hours to inspect everything. Then they have a clause in the waiver that states it may need "FINE" tuning. They also claim they do not do the installation and support they have contractors that do it, but their website clearly states they do installs and service. I installed the unit and it would run for a minute and turn off. I went to the manufactures website and found out you cannot contact them or get support; you must contact the dealer you bought it from. I called to find out how to get it fixed under warranty. Now even though the website is covered with service and support options I was told they don't do the service or support I needed to call their contractor and schedule a service call. When you call the contractor it sends you back to Albers to schedule the service call ?????? Oh, and that is $300. The tech came out and found out the thermocouple was not near the pilot light, and he needed to take it all apart then move the pilot light and the thermocouple, so they got next to each other and aligned. I have a checkout sheet with the unit that states who built it and tested it, it all says it was all tested and passed. So, I called back again to see how I could get credit for the fixing the manufactures defect. I was now told that since they did not have to replace any parts it was not a manufactures defect in workmanship it was a "FINE TUNING" and therefore it was not covered, and I had to pay the $300 myself. So, I should not expect to pay over $2000 for a gas log set and then expect it to work out of the box. Imagine if you bought a fancy gas stove and one of the burns did not light so you called Maytag and they fixed it and handed you a bill for $300 tow day safter you bought it. Albers sees no problem with this. If I had just bought it from Amazon or another online vendor I could have packed it up and got another one that was manufactured correctly. Instead, it cost me extra to by it and then $300 extra to get it to work.

Getting the permit paperwork was also not an easy task and required much more prompting than I feel should have been.

Too difficult to do business with…read more I traveled a bit out of my way to visit this location because they were the closest authorized dealer that had the 2XL Big Green Egg in stock. I spent time with the owner and we agreed I would follow up via phone or email with the base and accessories I wanted. Unfortunately, after calling three times (each time he was unavailable) and emailing with no response, I decided to return in person the following week. The owner wasn't there, and the employee present seemed more interested in closing up for the day than helping me complete the order. He gave multiple excuses for why he couldn't help. In the end, I traveled a bit farther to the next nearest Platinum Big Green Egg dealer and was able to place my full order in under 10 minutes.

Wow! - what a complete and beautiful job TSD did for me…read more I have an above average size driveway and it has been time to 'redo' it for a couple of years now. It was asphalt, and we decided to go with cement as it's better/lasts longer, although more costly. Additionally, some 20 years ago my road was regraded and lowered over a foot and a half in front of my driveway. Since that time, contractors with box trucks scraped my driveway when they used it, and I was always trying to fix it with patch (which of course never worked and I just ended up wasting my time and money). I hired TSD last month to remove my old asphalt driveway, regrade/fix the bottom and pour concrete. I had no idea just how much work this was, i.e.: When they removed the asphalt, they also had to remove the underlying stone and another few inches of dirt, then they put down 4 inches of stone. Additionally, they removed the bottom 20 feet of Belgium block and cut all the footings back on the rest of the block that was good. They then laid out the joints and poured 6 inches of cement in non-adjacent blocks over a couple of weeks (again, my driveway is above average in size, thus it took time to complete all the pours). I have to comment on the TSD masons, as I am one of those homeowners who 'inspects' as any contractor is doing work for me. These guys are perfectionists and truly do a wonderful job. They insured that each block that was poured was flat, but also graded correctly so the water would flow away from my house and down the driveway. I now no longer have any 'ponds' like I had with my asphalt driveway. Once, one of the joints slipped after the cement was poured, and they pulled the cement back and reset the joint so that the block's grade was perfect. Then rather than broom the finish, they sponged it, which made for a fantastic looking finish. I can't say enough about the quality of work the TDS masons did on my driveway. After they completed my driveway pours, they cleaned up, put down topsoil as need and reseeded, and sealed it my driveway. Overall, I am extremely pleased with TSD, and the quality of their work. It was well worth the extra money I paid to have my driveway redone in cement vs. asphalt. Also, the new grade appears to have fixed all the issues I had, as the bottom is now lower and the grade is much more gradual. If you are thinking of having masonry work done, I would recommend you call TSD and get visit/quote from them.
