"From the very beginning, Jamie Shea was easy to work and very personable. He helped us pick the right color and proper stone to update the look of the fireplace. Once we selected the stone, Jamie made a site visit to measure the fireplace and walk us through the process. From the day we signed the contract to the date of the install, he was prompt and courteous. The mason crew Jamie works with, were prompt, courteous and did outstanding work. We couldn’t be happier with the finished project. The fireplace is a now beautiful focal point in our living room. I would highly recommend Fireside Hearth and Home. And if you are lucky enough to work with Jamie Shea, you will very be pleased with his positive, can do attitude."

"We used CK Tile & Stone.  They did a wonderful job and went above and beyond in putting things back and even fixing some minor items (like hanging closet doors straight, and replacing hoses on the toilet.)  Chris was great to work with, as well as, his workman.

"Before I made my selection to go with Genadek Landscaping I did my homework!  I met with 6 different Landscapers, got estimates, read Angie's List Reviews, checked with the BBB.  The reason for this is my particular project was difficult.  I needed to replace a retaining wall that was about to fall down and hit my house.  It was about 3 feet from house and 4 feet tall (so you do the math).  Problem is that the retaining wall was holding back my neighbor's hill so I needed a Landscaper AND an Excavator.  Enter Stan Genadek.  
From the moment I met with Stan Genadek I could tell that he and his team were different.  Not only were they landscapers that understood soil dynamics, but they were also an excavators and could remove my retaining wall and build a new one the right way without damage to my house or my neighbor's hill.  Also, they were able to do other things (example - remove my old window wells and put in new ones) whereas some other landscaping companies weren't comfortable doing all the work I wanted done.  Also, I found Stan to be really pleasant to work with and could ask him any questions I had.  Stan even game me some terrific additional ideas for my yard that I ended up using.
Overall, comparing estimates I found Genadek Landscaping to be about middle of the road (in terms of price) they weren't the most expensive or the cheapest.  But really seemed to have the expertise, so I booked my job in end of July and put my $100 down to reserve my place in line.  I was told that the project would be about 10-12 weeks out due to how busy they get.  So here's a warning, book EARLY!!!  But it's definitely worth the wait, the work is top notch!
The project started around the end of September and took about 3 weeks.  The foreman's name was Mike and there was a 3 man crew.  I was immediately impressed with the work!  Very professional, great attitude, and daily check-ins and updates to let me know what was going on.  I got all my questions answered on a daily basis and the crew cleaned up after themselves each day.  I was really impressed with the work and could see that Mike and his crew truly cared about my house and my project and wanted it to be great.  Mike would even take me aside with just random pieces of advice and comments about things I could do for maintenance and upkeep with my landscaping after they left (just as a courtesy).
Once the project was completed we did a final walkthrough and went over every small detail before handing over my final check.  I was very satisfied!  I've already received a number of compliments from friends and neighbors on the work and will go back to Genadek landscaping in a heartbeat for any future jobs.
Also, I have to say Stan was great to work with on the business-side of things throughout the process as well.  I had Stan's email and cell number and whenever I left a message I'd get a quick response back and he was always pleasant to work with.
Overall, I'm very happy and can't say enough great things about this company!"

"Great! Very thorough and did a very good job.

"We had a crumbling chimney that definitely needed help. We called envision fire and they were very eager to help. They came out gave us an estimate and fixed the top bricks and crown on our chimney. They were very knowledgeable and professional. I would recommend them to anyone."

"A previous chimney inspector had recommended I do a clean/sweep. I purchased the "Early Bird Chimney Inspection, Sweep and Cleaning" deal from AngiesList in late July 2012. I contacted Midwest Home Services initially by phone (voicemail), and then three times by email between August and November requesting an appointment. In response I received a total of one email response from the owner saying that my coupon would be honored, but with no details about how to set up an inspection. Finally in November I went to their website, where I discovered that they do appointments online, and that the earliest available appointment was not until January.
I've just now had my appointment. The service person said my chimney looked fine from the outside, though I had only a few months ago learned it needed to be rebuilt due to cracks in the stucco. Then he said I needed tuck pointing in the fireplace and two caps (both of which I knew). He said it did not need to be cleaned or swept and that over-sweeping was not good for the chimney, which is OK with me but frustrating because it was not what my previous inspector told me. He said that if I hired him to do the tuck pointing then he would do a sweep at that point, though it didn't need it. He was not here for very long, and because it was the sweep/cleaning I was after I didn't feel that his visit was worth even $99, much less the $359 sticker price.
Based on challenges setting up an appointment and the service person's not noticing a major problem with the chimney, I would not recommend this company. I liked that there was a way to set up appointments online, but the owner needs to tell people that it exists, because I wasted four "early bird" months trying to get something set up by phone/email.
