"We have an older Gas Fireplace Insert. Not sure how old, but probably over 20 years. Also, it did not have any model number plate or sticker, so all we had was a brand name. FFS, had to make several visits and take a number of photos to be able to track down the correct parts that needed replacing. Also, had to pretty much completely take the interior of the stove, apart, to be able to remove the old parts and replace with the new. Got it all done and working great, again!!!"

"Since the fireplace is the only source of heat for the ADU in the basement of my house, Phil fit me in on a Saturday morning the day after I called. He was the ONLY fireplace repair outfit that made the extra effort. Everybody else wanted my renter to wait two or more weeks to get heat. Phil and his assistant showed up on time. They cleaned the thermopile and shortened the thermostat wires. They got the heat back on. They gave me a one year warranty on the service. They cleaned the glass and tested for gas leaks as part of the service. They were very neat and tidy."

"I purchased an Angie's List deal for a gas fireplace cleaning and tune up. Murphy's called me within a day or two to schedule the appointment. They day of the appointment, Ted, the technician called to see if he could come a little early. He arrived promptly and did an amazing, thorough job. My stove had been unused for quite some time and wasn't lighting reliably. Ted quickly diagnosed a loose connection and fixed it along with an amazing cleaning. My fireplace looks as good as it did the day it was installed 14 years ago! And Ted walked me through the best way to operate the fireplace and made sure I understood all of the options for optimal operation. I am very happy with the service and reasonable price. I will definitely hire again."

"After reading the many wonderful reviews on Angie List about this company, we gave them and a couple others a call. They seemed the most reasonably priced and were able to get to us pretty quickly (with in a week) during a very busy and a time of unseasonably hot weather. I appreciated the calls to remind me the tech would be coming, as well as a follow-up call saying he might possibly arrive earlier than expected. (didn't happen but that was fine) I appreciated the friendliness of the repairman who went right to work and had diagnosed the issue and installed a new part (not sure however if the part installed was a Trane part or another brand) all in less than 20 mins. Know that I am not one to leave negative comments, but also I feel that the reviews I read lead me to this company. Maybe others might want to know in advance my story to be ahead of the game in this situation should you want to go with Aireserv to avoid my pitfalls. Where things fell apart for me however was that our unit was still under warranty which I mentioned as soon as the repair man stepped from his vehicle. I asked if he could indeed look at and repair my unit if it was still under warranty and had been installed my another company. I showed him my warranty papers and he noted some numbers. He assured me he could do the job. When he was ready to leave and I had asked repeatedly how the warranty worked, I was still baffled. Instead I held in my hand what I thought was a pretty steep price for the repair. (the website promised a 59.99 diagnostic that would come off the bill if they indeed were hired to do the work) Yes, they came at a busy time, yes, they had a part, yes, they drove to my house using their gas and yes, the repairman is trained for repairs and needs to earn a wage as well as enough to pay for the office staff and make money for the business, but I still felt the cost per hr was way to high. (just under 300.00) In calling the next business day and asking if indeed the cost included the part, I was told I needed to call Trane directly to settle that issue. I called Trane and they sent me back to the repair company. Over the course of one month I called 6 times trying to get answers to the bill, the warranty and how to proceed. Each time the receptionist was most pleasant and understanding to my repeated calls and frustration. I left my number each time as well as my email per her suggestion. In the end, 32 days after the fact I was able to speak with a different gentleman who gave me the rules of making money in business. In the end I told him it was not about the money but being treated openly and honestly. After listening to him for quite awhile he did offered a compensation of 80.00 which I took and have since received the check. I would go with this company again, IF....I felt that I would be treated honestly and fairly and openly. The gentleman I spoke with said he would be bring this issue up again at a staff meeting since I was not told ahead of the repair being done what the cost was going to be. I was also told many people are surprised at the cost of repairs but are happy to have the repairs done and understand how business works and money needs to be made. Because of this I am a bit more cautious now. I prefer not to be the one beating down the door of a business for a response to my questions. I suggest making sure everything is up front before they touch your unit and do any work have it all in writing to protect yourself, your unit and your time after the repair."

"Highly recommend Soot Slayer. I was very impressed with the responsiveness of Brandon and Daniel. In addition to promptly contacting me after an Angie’s List inquiry, they followed up within 48 hours to see if I had any additional questions. My husband and I were also impressed with the fairness of their quotes and the quality of their work. We initially hired them for a chimney cleaning but also ended up hiring them to repair/restore interior and exterior issues with our chimney. I would recommend the Soot Slayer team to anyone needing their quality services!!"

"He is very professional and he knows his stuff. He is able to explain things real well. He is willing to do the whole kitchen process, including plumbing and lights for a much more reasonable cost than other estimates I got. I've seen pictures of the work he has done. He is very fair with his estimates. If there are things that he didn't explain or there are things that go over, he is willing to take on that overage cost himself. Every time I've emailed him, he has responded right away."

"We put off remodeling our severely outdated kitchen for over a decade, because we couldn't find a company we wanted to work with. IKEA, Lowes, Home Depot associates were all disinterested, and not informative. Private contractors we met were not reliable, even in the planning stage. When I contacted PNWC, Peter Schraner, the owner, returned my call within hours, and they have been the answer to questions we didn't even know enough to ask. I can't praise this company, enough. Haley designed our new kitchen with artistry and attention to how we actually use our kitchen. She was kind, thorough, and endlessly patient. Peter was on top of every detail - when we picked out appliances and countertops, he or Haley went with us, to answer questions and guide us. At the beginning of the work, we got a schedule listing the plan for each day, and they stuck to the schedule. The entire final week was labeled "touch-ups", and they finished 3 days early. Peter e-mailed me a progress report and photos every day. Mike supervised the work, and we trusted him completely. You could ask him anything - again with the endless patience. At one point, a new door to the deck had to be removed overnight to be painted. Cesar created a temporary door that was nicer then the original one that was being replaced. Every PNWC crew member did stunning work, and the attention to detail blew us away. At night, they left the work site immaculate. My husband and I stood in the kitchen each evening and marveled at how it came along. The finished kitchen is stunning, modern, and beautifully constructed. This company has our highest recommendation!"
