    Wayne does incredible work. He showed up on time, finished in a timely manner, he was easy to work with and his work is outstanding. You will not find a better craftsman for your project. We're so happy with our new fireplace.

    Belvedere fireplace crystal white color light classic finish

    Wayne and team built a beautiful fireplace surround for us. We went the Belvedere. Fits perfectly in our modern/transitional space. Wayne was very responsive and did everything to ensure we were happy with the design and install. Highly recommend!

    I'm very happy with the outcome of our fireplace. Wayne was very helpful with the sizing and recommendations for my space. His install guys were very nice and kept the space extremely clean. Communication was great too. Overall very happy and definitely recommend will be using again in the future for our other fireplaces.

    Working with Wayne, the owner of Studio Design Works, was a wonderful experience from beginning to end. He was very knowledgeable and helpful with the design of my custom concrete surround fireplace. Wayne was also very professional and prompt with scheduling both the removal of my existing fireplace brick and the delivery/installation of the new fireplace. Thank You Wayne for my beautiful bespoke fireplace. I highly recommend Wayne/Studio Design Works.

    Wayne was very helpful with the design. The installation crew got it installed in just a few hours.

    Wayne and the team are wonderful to work with!!! I had a unique shape and size mantel necessary for my space and they did the job!! Very very happy with the finished product. See photos!

    Fireplace Surround

    We spent a long time searching around online for the perfect fireplace surround, but never really felt confident ordering and shipping a big surround without seeing the colors and finishes in person. Thankfully, we found a local company, Studio Design Works, to come to our house and go over options with us in person. We were able to get exactly what we wanted and even save a little bit of money compared to ordering online. Wayne was great to work with from start to finish and we're so happy with the final product. The install team was friendly, clean, and professional. I highly recommend Studio Design Works!

    House is not completed yet... but look at this beauty!!!!

    Wayne is the absolute best, in fact, their entire team is so amazing! I was looking for a fireplace company and stumbled upon studio works! Immediately knew this was the company I wanted to go with! Their prices are reasonable, their service is hands down the best... and Wayne is very good at responding to text! I would highly recommend them for fireplace needs!

    Wayne was very easy and great to work with. We are so incredibly happy with the final product. We will certainly use him in the future. I highly recommend him if you are looking to update your mantle, he has so many amazing options. I cannot speak highly enough about Wayne and his quality of work.

    Beyond thrilled with my experience with Studio Design Works! Wayne was so helpful giving insight and help all along the way with our fireplace remodel. He spoke with our contractor and walked him through what to do to have it all ready for the stone. Even when our contractor messed up Wayne adapted and fixed the issue caused by the contractor and made sure we were taken care of (something our general should have done!) I would 10/10 recommend and endorse Wayne! I finished the fireplace wall with a reeded wood wall panel and I love the finished product. Everyone who walks in comments on it!!

    New Fireplace

    Wayne did a great job of working up this new fireplace for my wife and I. He and his crew were on time, and you could tell took pride in their work. We are now finishing off w/carpet and paint. We are very happy! We also felt like the pricing was very fair.

    Very happy with the service and product. I highly recommend that you work with them. Good service and fair prices.

    My gorgeous modern fireplace!

    As soon as i walked into the Studio Design Works showroom and saw the incredible quality and choice I knew I had found my mantel company. I am absolutely delighted with my incredible new mantel I could not recommend them highly enough.

What I appreciated most was how honest he was. After looking everything over, he told me the issue was likely just a buildup that needed a thorough cleaning and possibly some new sand. He even mentioned that my husband could probably handle it himself if we wanted to go that route. That level of honesty is rare. In the end, we chose to have Mike take care of it. While he was here, he also installed a damper clamp that we didn't realize was missing, which brought the fireplace up to code. Before calling Fireplace Doctor, we had another company come out. They made the situation sound much more serious and tried to convince us we needed a completely new fireplace unit because they claimed our setup was dangerous. Mike calmly explained why that wasn't the case and helped put our minds at ease. We really appreciated his knowledge, integrity, and the time he spent walking us through everything.

    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.

I forget his name, but whoever I spoke with was very honest upfront that my pits were too small of jobs for him to work on but he referred me to someone for both pits and the bbq as well. His recommendation was Dan who came out and took a look at all 3 things. I believe Dan is with another company, if he or anyone from this company know please kindly reply to this post and inform what company that is! Dan was fantastic, gave me costs and showed me the issues then and there. He also looked at my pit in my front courtyard and was able to solve the minor issue at no charge, simple fix. I decided I didn't want my backyard fire pit fixed because the front one is much nicer and now that it is fixed I doubt I will ever use the one in my backyard--another project yay. Will have to demo it one day. Dan then fixed the bbq and it now looks incredible and works great. I have since used it a handful of times with no issues. Great company, great communication, honest and fair pricing. Highly recommend. Two thumbs up (Will try to upload pics of bbq before and after soon)

    Disappointed with Product Quality and Durability…read more I had high hopes for HB fire pits when I purchased my fireplace, but unfortunately, my experience has been disappointing. After only 1.5 years, the unit has already stopped working properly, which is unacceptable for such an expensive investment. Despite following all maintenance recommendations, I've had issues with burner failure, electrical and remote. When I reached out the owner, he was very unhelpful, unresponsive and extremely rude every time I was able to get hold of him. A fireplace should last much longer than this, and I would not recommend HB FIRE PITS based on my experience. If you're considering purchasing from them, I strongly suggest looking into other options or ensuring you get an extended warranty. Also my next-door neighbor also purchase the same fireplace like mine at the same time, and she's been having many problems with the hardware and the owner. I am extremely disappointed with the customer service from HB fire pits, especially from the owner. When my fireplace started having issues, I reached out for repairs and maintenance, expecting professional assistance. Instead, I was met with rudeness, dismissiveness, and a complete lack of concern for customer satisfaction. Rather than standing behind their product and helping to resolve the problem, the owner was unhelpful and unwilling to take responsibility. Calls and messages were ignored or met with short, unprofessional responses. When I finally did get a response, it was clear they were more interested in avoiding the issue rather than actually fixing it. A company is only as good as its customer service, and unfortunately, HB Fire Pits fails in that regard. I would strongly advise others to look elsewhere for a fireplace company that actually values its customers and stands behind its products.
