I contacted this company (in an attempt to hire a local, independent business) 3 separate times, over the last 3 weeks for a quote. Every time, I was informed, "no one is available right now, but I'll take a message and have someone give you a call." I've received ZERO follow up by anyone in the company. I would understand if they were booked far out in advance, but not replying to sales inquiries at all is less than ideal.
UPDATE: After I posted my review, they hastily returned my inquiry and informed me that they "don't really do that kind of work." Even though they have the equipment, skills, and ability to do the work, they won't even give a quote for it unless they feel they can upcharge you to a whole install for a new wood stove or surround. I have a 1920 Georgian Colonial in 90% original condition with its original wood burning fireplace, I do not need a wood stove installed. This company has shown that they will only do the work if they deem it profitable enough.
For the record, I have absolutely no problem paying enough for them to make a profit, I don't even have a problem with being scheduled last minute since it's a small job (everyone in the house works from home so timing is flexible) but to completely refuse to give a quote for work that they are FULLY EQUIPPED AND CAPABLE OF DOING, is appalling. Making a profit doesn't seem to be enough for those in charge, if they can't make X amount of profit, the job is considered "too small" and "unworthy" of their effort. Despite their website boasting: " Our installation services are second to none--if we sell it, we install it. We are proud to provide annual maintenance, diagnostics and service for all makes and models of fireplaces, stove and inserts. This also includes chimney cleaning and repair.
