Get matched with top fireplace & wood stove pros in Goodfield, IL

"I was going to have my wood burning fireplace converted to gas so they did a chimney inspection and discoverd extensive damage from birds nesting in chimney. They provided an immediate clean up estimate and I hired them to do that work to protect against further damage . They recommended that a gas fireplace was not a safe option so we talked through options for an electric insert. I decided to wait on that but was very impressed with customer service and quality of work."

"Excellent job! He did an excellent job on the chimney and fireplace. Neat work, cleaned the chimney from top to bottom and took care of the fireplace as well."

"Josh the owner was very informative about the process, I don't know anything about masonry but the way he explained everything I felt like an expert . He was honest and fair plus he got the job done that others told us would take weeks in less than a week . I wish everyone did business like him, I highly recommend them"

"They were prompt and courteous. They asked a few questions and answered all of our questions. We were new to fireplaces. We are both elderly...these guys took the time to explain the whole process associated with fireplaces. We had called them out to check only one of our fireplaces. I was so impressed with them that I ask them to check out our other. Their fees for checking the second fireplace was reasonable. So reasonable in fact that I tipped them substantially."

"They did an excellent job of coordinating work, since I did the framing, drywall and flooring. This is the second job they have done for us and we have been very happy with the work."

"He contacted me very quickly. He was nice but advised me he doesnt work on pellet stoves"

"Due to weather , had to do all work from inside. I was told there would be no dust/soot to worry about. He brought one small drop cloth that would not have even covered the rug he was walking across to the fireplace. However, I had covered my leather sofa and some of the area rug in front of fireplace. After he left, I found a light dusting of sooty residue on a few nearby surfaces. Not sure if the vacuum was working properly but I would recommend covering all furniture or rugs in immediate area."

"I hired Kitchen and Bath Specialties for an interior painting project. Impressively, the business owner (Joe) was a **hands on** manager who participated in the painting process. There was superior customer service and quick response time. Nevertheless, homeowners who own older homes may want to steer away. At my house several, several cut lines, caulk lines and areas between the trims were applied in a sloppy, unprofessional manner. There were numerous missed areas and paint splatters. Indeed, it appears that the painters were in a hurry and/or distracted. Granted, Joe returned to the home and made a few repairs. However, he blames most problems on the age of my house. According to Joes theory, I should not expect much because my house is old. Perhaps he is right. However, most painting professionals disagree. According to experts, older homes need more attention and care than do newer homes. However, a houses age is no excuse for poor workmanship. If you own a distinguished older home, approach this company with caution."

"We hired Maurer Masonary to repair our chimney mortar as recommended by roofers after multiple flashing repairs/calking. Lane at Maurer Masonry took a more comprehensive approach to address our leaks. Beside needed tuck point, he had concerns about the flashing and other roofing issues around the chimney. After consulting Carlson roofing, he showed us photos of our chimney and flashings and recommended tuck-point and fixing several roofing related problems to stop the leak. Lane was good at communicating with us and was punctual. Both he and the roofer were very meticulous at their work. They fixed the leaks!!! Now, he is hired for another project on our property."
