    Soot Removers did an awesome job. I called on a Friday afternoon and was able to get an appointment the following Tuesday for a cleaning and inspection ($255). On Monday evening Tikar reached out to confirm the appointment and promptly showed up the following morning at 8 am. Awesome job on holding true to the appointment time. Once here Tikar got to work cleaning and inspecting. After the inspection he suggested a couple repairs to increase the longevity of our fire place. I didn't bother shopping around but his prices seemed very appropriate for the work done. We had the crown coat applied to the top of the chimney for the masonary as well as a hole sealed up where the gas line comes into the fire box. Tikar did an awesome job. No dust, no mess quite frankly no headache at all. I would definitely hire them again for any of my fireplace work and maintenance.

    We have used Tikar and Soot Removers for many years. Tikar is always professional. He is meticulous on cleanliness on what could be described as a very messy job. We will continue to use soot removers in the future.

    We also inquired about our gas fireplace being serviced and Tikar gave us an approximate quote about that too.

For anyone who lives in or is familiar with the winds here in the High Desert be wary - this could happen to you! Apparently it was just a matter of time that it happened since it had never been properly fastened down when it was installed - so maybe those of you with fireplaces might want to consider having your system checked. Darryl and Don came out to check out the situation to see what needed to be done and were able to fix the issue without having to do a lot of extra work; like tearing out the drywall or removing the insert and replacing the whole thing. Once the part was obtained, Darryl, Don and a young man/assistant had it all fixed in about an hour; I think the prep took longer than the actual repair; checking things out, getting measurements and part numbers, finding the chase pipe and other parts needed. Darryl even made sure the chimney was covered just in case it rained. Highly recommend Chimney Chokers for their professionalism, courtesy, friendliness, fair prices and great work.

    So happy to have found Fireplace 911. Starting with Linda (my first point of phone contact), to…read moreRenzo (owner), and Jorge (technician) - communication was excellent, as was attention to detail and cleanliness. This was for a rental property with new tenants scheduled to do a walk-through and sign lease agreement in a few days. After two months of repairs and improvements, I thought everything was ready to go - until I started taking photos and realized the gas-log fireplaces were in need of cleaning and resetting. In a bit of a panic, I turned to Yelp (as owners of my previous fireplace maintenance company had retired) and chose Fireplace 911 - in part due to their positive online reviews, and also to help support a local business. I could not have asked for a better experience and will continue to call upon Fireplace 911 going forward. Thank you so much for fitting me in, and to Jorge for doing an excellent job.

    Updated Review: 5 Stars UPDATE (Editing my original review…read moreafter service completion): I am officially updating my review because FirePlace 911 truly went above and beyond to make things right. After my initial scheduling frustrations, the business owner, Renzo, personally stepped in. He called me immediately after the job was finished and apologized sincerely multiple times for the previous communication issues. The Results: The actual work performed was fantastic. They completed a full refurbishment that included: - Deep Cleaning: Both the chimney and the fireplace are spotless. - Aesthetic Upgrades: They repainted the interior, making it look brand new. - Smart Functionality: They installed new parts and integrated a wall switch system. Now, as long as the pilot light is on, I can start a fire with a simple flick of a switch. Incredibly convenient for my tenants. The finishing quality is top-tier. Seeing the final product and experiencing Renzo's commitment to customer satisfaction completely changed my perspective. It's rare to find a business that takes feedback this seriously and delivers such high-quality craftsmanship. I now highly recommend FirePlace 911 to anyone needing fireplace experts. Thank you again for the hard work, Renzo! ------------------------------------------- Original Post - Rating: (1/10) I am incredibly disappointed with the lack of professionalism and total disregard for my time shown by Fireplace911. Initially, I was happy to be flexible. We had a Tuesday appointment that they needed to reschedule due to a technician's family emergency. I completely understand that life happens and was happy to accommodate them. However, the experience went downhill quickly from there: * Reschedule #1: We moved the appointment to Friday at 11:00 AM. * Reschedule #2: On the day of, they requested to move the 11:00 AM slot to 2:00 PM. I agreed. * The No-Show: They failed to arrive at 2:00 PM and did not show up until 5:00 PM. This was not just a personal inconvenience; this was for an investment property with a tenant waiting. Because of this company's poor time management and lack of communication, I was forced to apologize repeatedly to my tenant for the delay. There is a fine line between a genuine emergency and simple laziness. Changing a time twice and then showing up three hours late for the second window is unacceptable in a professional setting. I highly recommend looking elsewhere for your fireplace needs.
