"Highly recommended, timely and very professional. Carl was very knowledgeable and easy to work with. He was able to answer all of our questions and walk us through different options, while being mindful of our budget. Just to highlight what all he did to repair our chimney. A safe working platform was erected. The old cap was removed and the brick was demoed to the flashing. All the brick was cleaned and relayed in tinted mortar to match existing masonry. A new crown was installed with custom stainless steal cage. The chimney was washed cleaned and sealed all debris were cleaned up and scaffolding was removed. We were so happy with the results. We would absolute hire him again."

It is apparent he is very knowledgeable and skilled in his field. Truly just an all around genuine person and I am so happy to support and promote this new small business.

"Aleh was wonderful from start to finish of our project. He gave us suggestions of where we could find reclaimed barnwood mantle pieces. He also gave recommendations of what the best stone was to use. He always arrived on time and was very professional. His work was exceptional and looks absolutely beautiful now that it is done. We would absolutely use him again for future projects."

"Horrible Experience. I contracted with Blackwood Group, LLC in July 2024 for a driveway demolition, wall build and decorative stamped concrete driveway installation. During the course of the project, representatives of Blackwood lied to me, screamed at me, hung up on me, used profanity directed at me, sent a crew that refused or didn’t know how to follow the engineering drawings or guidance from Versa Lok for the wall build, and generally made the project a miserable experience. The job was not completed in a workmanlike manner and to the quality that was described in the contract. The work stopped in August 2024. The quality of the work was so poor that Pete Blackwood (owner of Blackwood Group) came onsite to look at it and agreed that it needed to be ripped out and re-done. He agreed that he would do that. Pete spent the Fall of 2024 attempting to find a suitable contractor that could complete the job but was not successful. Additionally, there is damage that the Blackwood Group work crew caused to the front of our house - concrete spatter on front door, concrete spatter on the front trim (newly painted) around door, concrete spatter on the brick front of the house, and concrete spatter on a planter. Blackwood Group work crew also damaged our in-ground sprinkler system so that the zone near the front of the house doesn't work any longer. As of today, no work to fix the issues has been done. We had paid him $37600. He offered to refund $18650 and stated that he still wants to do the work and then when complete, we would pay him the remaining amount outlined in the contract. He did refund $18650. He informed us 2 weeks ago that Blackwood Group was for sale and he was in talks with a buyer. At that point, we told him that we want all of our money back. Pete has agreed to refund the balance back to us, but has yet to refund us. He still owes us ~$19000 not including the legal fees that we have incurred because of this situation. In summary, I DO NOT RECOMMEND."

FAQs for brick or stone fireplace installation projects in Pittsburgh, PA

Most localities require permits for gas fireplace removal, especially when gas lines are involved or structural changes are planned. Permit requirements vary significantly between municipalities, so check with your local building department before beginning work. Working without required permits can result in fines and complications when selling your home. Your contractor should be familiar with local requirements and can often handle the permitting process as part of the project.

The timeframe for gas fireplace removal varies based on project complexity. Simple projects take one to five days, while complete demolitions involving chimney removal can extend to several weeks. Factors affecting the timeline include the fireplace's size, materials, accessibility, and whether structural modifications are needed. Your contractor should provide a detailed timeline after assessing your specific situation and identifying any potential complications.

Removing a gas fireplace may decrease your home's value by $1,000 to $5,000, particularly in regions where fireplaces are considered desirable features. The impact varies depending on your local real estate market and buyer preferences. In cold-climate areas or luxury home markets, the absence of a fireplace might make your property less attractive to potential buyers. Consider consulting with a local real estate professional before removing a fireplace if you're concerned about resale value.

After removing a gas fireplace, you have numerous options for the reclaimed space. Many homeowners install built-in bookshelves, create an entertainment center for a television, or simply extend their living area. The space might also become a decorative niche for artwork or a reading corner with comfortable seating. Whatever you choose, ensure that the area is properly finished to blend seamlessly with the rest of your room, with appropriate flooring, wall treatments, and lighting.

Converting your gas fireplace to electric is often a practical alternative to complete removal. This option preserves the aesthetic appeal of a fireplace while eliminating gas-related maintenance and safety concerns. Electric fireplaces offer simplified installation, cleaner operation, and adjustable heat settings. 

The conversion process involves removing gas components, capping the gas line, and installing an electric insert. This approach can be more economical than full removal while maintaining a functional heating feature in your home.

Finding qualified professionals for gas fireplace removal requires researching contractors with specific credentials. Look for licensed plumbers with gas fitting certification to handle the gas line disconnection. For structural work, seek contractors with experience in fireplace removal and demolition. Request references from previous similar projects and verify proper insurance coverage. Obtaining multiple quotes helps ensure competitive pricing while allowing you to assess each contractor's expertise and approach to your specific project needs.
