"We found Ashler on Angie's List, and also obtained two other estimates. Our first impression of Mike Fletcher sold us -- he told us he does not do inspections because he considers it a conflict of interest since his company does the repairs. So he referred us to Certified Chimney Inspectors (Shane Imburgia) who did the most thorough inspection of the 3 estimates we obtained. He sent the report and video and Mike provided an estimate. The team that came was incredibly thorough with everything they did - especially the protection of our home. Everything was covered in plastic and the living room was sealed off so no fine dust would get on anything or out of that room. They spent two days doing significant work to make our fireplace safe and like new for decades to come (with regular cleaning, of course). And they painted everything in the fireplace black with a special paint. It looked so beautiful we asked them to paint our outdoor fireplace too. The flames are magnificent against it! They did an immaculate clean-up and provided us with a temporary chimney cap until the new one arrived. I can't recommend them highly enough and would use them again for any masonry work."

"Absolutely the best people I have dealt with. It was wonderful, from the initial estimate till the end of the job. They have tradesmen for everything. A different crew for carpentry, tile work and plastering. Everyone was friendly and kind and cleaned up well. The foreman was such a great guy. I have several dogs and had to contained them and they accommodated perfectly. I highly recommend them to anyone who needs a fireplace done. Everything was done within the time frame that they said it would be."

"Terry Carver is the man who owns this business and he did the work himself.  Because my job was not a big one, he was able to work me in to his busy schedule and did the repair the same he gave me his estimate!  He did an excellent job matching the design of the stucco on my 1923 home.  He was also very nice, professional and ...... he liked my dogs!   <br /> I will be calling him again. <br /> <br />"

"Wilf and his team came out to repair cracks in the chimney which involved tearing down the existing chimney to the house line and then a bit further to the next line beyond that.  They did the tear down, rebuilt and stucco'd to match the house.  They handled all City inspections and were timely with information and quick to answer any questions that I had.  The work took about 2 weeks including down time for materials to dry, etc.   <br /> The job went extremely well.  I had Wilf perform an inspection three (3) years ago when I was buying the house but just got around to being able to do the work.  And it was the perfect year to do so as we had a cold and wet fall and winter and we were warm and snuggly inside with our roaring fireplace! <br /> Wilf and his team are knowledgeable, friendly, professional, timely and extremely hard working. I would not hesitate to use them or refer them again! <br /> <br /> <br />"

"I am reviewing Embers West's installation of a Mendota FV44 sealed combustion gas insert (combustion air comes from outside & fumes vent to the outside). The product has a remote with a thermostat & ability to control the flame height, circulating blower speed & a dimmable halogen light. There is electric ignition (no standing pilot flame) & a battery-pack to light the flame in case of a power outage. If you're in the market for a gas fireplace, look no further. Save your time and come here first. You'll be glad you did. We chose Embers West because they had the highest Yelp rating of the several local fireplace businesses (well-deserved - with over 3 dozen reviews). My wife & I had researched gas fireplace inserts online before calling EW & were partial to the Mendota brand. When we met with Francois Tiab (owner & chief technical person), I provided photos & measurements of our 1955 brick fireplace; he agreed that Mendota was our best choice. Francois impressed us enough that we saw no need to check out any other businesses (so I can't comment on his pricing versus others). He was personable, professional & extremely knowledgeable & we enjoyed working with him. Francois made it clear at the start that our project needed several visits from them but I did not ask for a schedule; the project took 3 months & cost a bit over $8k (actually $500 less than the quote- Serryn (office manager) emailed us to say Mendota was having a sale- we would not have known otherwise). If your project needs to be completed quickly - then you should discuss that with Francois up-front. A few times, I had to call to find out the status - Serryn got us an answer right away each time (also when I had tech questions). The installation encountered a snag & Francois quickly resolved it. This is all normal for custom work. The gas line & electrical connection were installed before EW started. Mario was the installer & he was great (friendly, punctual, took time to do things right, brought tarps to protect the carpet & wore protective booties over his shoes). He used a "sniffer" to check for gas leaks. Payments were easily handled online via their website. Their showroom had sample installations to help select finishes & the artificial logs. The finished job looks great & I'm very happy with the results. I definitely recommend Embers West."

"Very happy with the work done, chimney seems completely repaired and fireplace is working well. Ryan was very helpful in setting up the job and Alan was a great repairman."

"Excellent. Craig and his team are very knowledable, honest, skilled, reliable, reasonable pricing, and a delight to work with. This is the 3rd job Brik Art have done for me. They also repaired a brick wall (that another Angies List contractor caused to collapse), and they rebuilt an outer brick wall of my home before that. I would definitely hire them again, and I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending them 100%! <br />"

"Fireplace Solutions fireplace inspection and cleaning went well."

"I was told by the person who answered the phone that the minimum service charge was $95 to come out to my home and diagnose the problem. I asked if they could replace the thermocoupler when they arrived and was told they do not carry parts on their truck so another service call at $95 would also be required plus parts. The Thermocoupler is a standard item on a gas fireplace and typically sells for $10-$20 online or at Home Depot. It seems ridiculous that a specialized fireplace repair company would not carry this kind of part on their truck. It would have cost me a minimal of $190 before parts to have this repair done by Quality Fireplace. I choose not to have the service completed and fixed the issue by myself."
