Get matched with top brick or stone fireplace installers in Desert Hot Springs, CA

"Gary was  prompt and professional for each appointment.  On the initial appointment, he patiently answered all my questions, provided a good selection of products to choose from, and gave a quote for services.  The day of service, Gary prepped & painted the inside of the fireplace as well as all hardware on the doors.  For the finishing touches, he installed a new burner and fire glass.  When he left the area was clean and ready to be enjoyed.  My boring, outdated gas fireplace is now updated, and looks great!!!  I'd hire Gary again.

"While initially they were not what they had promised, ultimately they fixed them and did a great job. They wanted to do a good job is what stood out about this provider as they were doing the work for me. I definitely feel like they tried to be customer service friendly but not all of their staff members understood everything about the fireplaces but at the end of the day their ultimate goal was to make you happy."

"We hired Fireplace Freddie to inspect and fix our 100-year-old fireplace & chimney, making it safe to burn real wood again. Nick and Scott came out quickly, and used cameras to inspect. During the inspection Nick visually showed me what the issues were. He also verbally suggested the fix. After the inspection, we received pics and a price quote to fix the issues by installing a stainless steel sleeve in the chimney. We sent the pics and info to 3 other businesses to compare prices. After speaking with Nick numerous times, including 2 conversations with my old school contractor buddy who asked Nick just about every ridiculous question he could possibly think of, Nick remained cool and answered all of his questions. Nick also agreed to do the job with a permit from LADBS which they included in the price, so we decided Fireplace Freddie was the right company to do the job. Patrick was our installer. He had a co-worker, but I didn't catch his name. They showed up on time, covered the floor and furniture and did their job. It took a few days as they said it would, but they were on time, clean and friendly. Each day they came, they covered everything. Each night, they cleaned up and uncovered everything before they left. Patrick also dealt with our LADBS inspector who admittedly was not well versed in chimney repair. Patrick was very friendly, gave the inspector the information he needed including printed specs from the manufacturer, and we passed inspection w/o issue. Scott came back 1 week later to test the fireplace. He lit a fire to make sure it was all good, and it is. To sum it all up, everyone was friendly and professional. The job went super smooth, and we are able to use our wood burning fireplace again, safely.  I would highly recommend Fireplace Freddie. A+"

"He was a smooth talker. They did a nice job."

"All I can think to say is WOW !!!  On time and On budget (well, his anyway. Mine.............. not so much)  I bought a foreclosure condo that was about 30 years old and contacted Kevin after finding him on Angie's List. (Best subscription money I ever spent was on Angie's List).  Kevin showed up promptly at the agreed upon time and I had his completed estimate in a few days. Kevin and his crew did the following after demo: replaced all interior doors with solid core prehung doors, installed four new windows into a curved Dining Room wall, installed custom made cabinets in the Garage, Desk in the Family Room, Niche in the Kitchen area, vanity in the Guest Bath, double vanity in the Master Bath and Linen Closet in the hallway, installed Granite on all of those cabinets in addition to the complete Fireplace hearth and face. They also installed a bunch of recessed light fixtures (and I mean, a bunch), replaced all of the receptacles and trim plates, installed four ceiling fans, built 2 beautiful roll in showers that pictures just don't do justice to, replaced all door hardware and locks, installed new nickel mirrored wardrobe doors in Guest room, installed 3 glass vessel sinks and faucets in the bathrooms, installed two new vent fans in the baths, installed new door casings and baseboards throughout, enclosed my water heater, installed new kitchen faucet, dishwasher, stove, etc. You get the idea. About all I didn't have to replace were the kitchen cabinets and granite that was on top of them.
As this was my first remodel attempt, it didn't become apparent to me until the new cabinets were being installed, that the existing tile flooring really looked like well, a mess.  If any of you have gays in your life, you already know that we are prone to make changes and take different paths regularly (haha, but it's true), so it was at this point I decided to replace all the flooring with a beautiful travertine tile. While this major change added 2 weeks to the schedule (bringing us to a total of 7 weeks) and a huge hit to my budget, Kevin and his crew were excellent about taking my changes and adds all in stride. It just didn't make sense to remodel 90 percent of my unit and not do the floors while we were at it. All I will say about the flooring is this, his installer Cory is an artist. He mudset the entire floor on a foundation that was anything but flat. Cory also did the new backsplash in the kitchen and all the tile in the showers. Truly amazing.
In the final analysis, Kevin and his guys did an amazing job turning a pig of an old condo into a silk purse that is surely one of the nicest units in our development. They showed up every day sometimes to include weekends when necessary. I would recommend them to anyone looking to do a remodel. Kevin will be doing my next project if I get the bug to do this again.

"Chris contacted me after my review was posted and asked what he could do "to make things better."  He did everything I asked him to do and more - including completely replacing the tile floor when all that was really necessary was fixing a few tiles. He did the work himself and does indeed do the beautiful work mentioned in other reviews. I'm saw much improvement in timeliness, punctuality, and professionalism - he seems to have been going through a bad patch and is really working to turn things around. This time I would consider working with him again.


9 weeks for a very straightforward bathroom redo - no construction; just swapping out fixtures and adding tile - need I say more? The job still isn't really finished; I just reached the point where I had enough. To be fair, maybe a week of that time is down to the fact that there was no water shutoff in the condo for the bathtub and the HOA isn't especially accommodating about such issues. But on the whole, they were out maybe once or twice a week - if at all. The work itself was mediocre - and sometimes it had to be redone to get it to that standard. The floor tiles aren't well aligned and more than one is cracked; the grout wasn't sealed; the vanity top was initially installed at an angle from the wall (at one point 3/4" away from it) and without the stopper to operate the drain. I began to get the impression that he was just dropping off not-very-competent workers and leaving them to work unsupervised. That was particularly a problem because I couldn't be at home myself - Chris has a key but he didn't seem to be very careful about who he let in to work without supervision or who he gave it to, and he still hasn't returned it.
Chris was more than willing to pick up items I couldn't manage - like the tub - but actually getting it done took repeated phone calls and didn't happen until the vendors started threatening to cancel the order or charge storage. He was also happy to accommodate some of my more finicky requirements - except they didn't get done. I had some issues about charges and payments and had asked for a detailed breakdown - the last message I received from him was he was going to have Liz send it that day; then he would call me to discuss it, and come out to fix the leak in the shower head he had installed (this would be the second attempt to fix the leak) - none of that happened.
There are two or three other jobs that I need to hire someone to do - it definitely won't be Most Wanted Construction.

"Mark meticulously went through every inch of this antique from top to bottom and repaired all structural damage incurred over the last 260 years to include everything from small worm holes, to cracks on the table top and drop leaves, warps, loose joints, pegs and butterfly joints. He made it structurally sound to last another 260 years without changing any of the rich 260 year old character and charm. This is truly an amazing museum piece and family heirloom to last another lifetime."

"Very professional from start to finish.  He gave the drywall the smooth finish we were looking for.  Can't even tell where the seams were.  Excellent job.  I would certainly use Al again.

my wife was nagging me for the last couple of years  to upgrade the kitchen's look so that was my initial job

we had a very pleasant  meeting with tnl's manager meir.

we went over our needs and wants and the budget of course

the kitchen was very old (about 16 years) we a couple of idea's to keep it white and clean , and meir suggested to add some color accents and a different style for the kitchen cabinets.

we loved the ideas , and my wife had to ask meir about our master bathroom , he came out with a great idea for it with a small budget.

we had another meeting going through the details and the job started a week later.

the work was done to our satisfaction , the employees were extremely nice , cleaning all the daily building materials

along the way we decided to go with LED lights (saves money and good for the environment ) 

we picked new cabinets for the kitchen with meir's referral so we got a great deal on that and we were able to give the kitchen a bit more storage space because of the smart storage system we choose.

we installed gfci outlets that we didn't had before, new appliances (stainless steel) ,ceramic counter tops and ceramic tile for the flooring.

the color for accents was light mocha.

the master bathroom was repainted with almond cream' color, the faucets were replaced , new shower curtain and accessories installed.

new switches and laminated wood was installed on the floor.

the rest of the house was painted Navaho white, we replaced most of the switches and outlets to newer ones.

meir's team did a wonderful job and we even got it completed couple of days before.

our place looks great and feels like the house we always wanted , we already recommended TNL construction to our friend.

project ended 8/8/2014
