Get matched with top chimney cap installers and replacers in Palm Desert, CA

"Everything went great with Lisa and ABC Chimney Sweep. I called and was able to get an appointment about three weeks out (busy season). On the appointment day, she arrived on time, and had given a phone call about 30 minutes prior to arriving. She inspected our gas fireplace, cleaned inside the firebox, tested the gas, and installed a new damper latch. She also re-adhered the metal key (decorative) surrounding to the tile. She provided a condition report/receipt. I would hire them again."

"I have a fireplace that I haven't used in an long time. I'm planning on starting to use it again and wanted it inspected first. Even though they're based in Orange County they agreed to come all the way to WLA (Culver City) to do the inspection. Pedro & Diego arrived a little late (though they did call to say they were running a behind.) The inspection, which was accomplished quickly and professionally, found a few mostly minor issues. They explained what they found and what my options were to deal with it without any pressure. I OK'd the inspection report and they went right to work. They paid special attention to keeping my home clean (putting on shoe covers before coming into the house and removing them as they leave the house, for example.) Overall I was very satisfied with my experience and wouldn't hesitate to use them again."

"I received 5 quotes on my kitchen remodel and LA Expert Builders gave me unbeatable offer so it was an easy decision to go with them. Nir and his team showed up on time, were professional, quick, efficient and very honest. Nir was there for any help, available for a contact all the time and helped me to choose most suitable materials. He and his team finished this project in a timely manner and my new kitchen looks top notch!"

"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  My boring, outdated gas fireplace is now updated, and looks great!!!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. <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."

"I just had Dustin out for my winter maintenance on the fireplaces and chimney and couldn't be more appreciative.  I first found Abetter Vent Cleaning in the spring to clean all the ducting and vents in my home.  Dustin is on time, professional, experienced, and doesn't even mind me following him around and asking questions.  Setting up the appointment was easy and he was out here within a couple days of my call.  Dustin has gone the extra mile both times he has been to my home - from lighting the pilot light on a gas fireplace, to replacing an old dryer vent flex line, to climbing on the roof and reattaching a vent hood.  I highly recommend Abetter Vent Cleaning and thank the guys for all of their hard work. <br />"

"Got here and got his staff cleaning the chimney. Cleaned up and out. Good to go."

"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+"

"Jeff was extremely thorough and did a fantastic job! I also liked the way he cleaned up so well after he was done!! And he wanted to be sure that cleaning the vents got rid of the weird odor in my house, so he came back on his own time to recheck! I would definitely use this company again, and would request Jeff as the technician!"

"We interviewed several contractors for this work.  Except for Adam, they all fell into two categories.  One set would just say "Tell me what you want me to do, and I'll do it."  These contractors weren't right for us because it was a big job, and we didn't know enough about contacting to give detailed explanations.  The other set of contractors would show up (late, usually), then try to steer the work towards what was advantageous to them.  Adam was very different.  From the very beginning, it was clear that his primary concern was to determine what was best for *our* project in *our* home. <br /> <br /> Adam started the work on time.  He was always very easy to reach if we had concerns or questions.  Both Adam and his subcontractors were very honest; we never had the slightest hesitation about having them in our home while we were away at work.  Adam's work had very little disruption in our home; he did an excellent job of limiting the construction mess - both inside and outside the house.  He showed excellent judgement - both while determining some of the engineering aspects of the job and while suggesting some of the design parts of the job.  Finally, he finished on time, at the contracted price. <br /> <br /> Most importantly, throughout all of the work, it was clear that Adam's genuine interest was the health, safety, and convenience for our family. <br /> <br /> Everyone hears nightmare stories about contractors.  They start jobs but don't finish them.  They deliberately underbid, then use change orders to unfairly increase the price.  They use shoddy materials or techniques.  Adam is the complete opposite of these nightmares.  Working with him was a dream."
