"Finding someone trustworthy that does a great job with great customer service is hard to do. When the project is expensive it makes it more nerve wracking to decide who to go with. If you are lucky enough to find someone that checks those boxes, they become your go to people for your projects and as well as who you recommend. A few years ago I had Hoffman replace my driveway and was completely happy with their service from initial contact to completion. Years later I’m still completely satisfied with my decision to use them. Recently I decided to pour a shed pad and replace an old back patio. There wasn’t a doubt in my mind on who I should call. Like last time the entire experience was top notch. Jessica is amazing to work with from the start and is very friendly and communicative. The owner Mark really cares about the quality of work and clearly appreciates your business. His son, who runs the concrete crew, is also awesome to work with and really cares about a customer-first approach and performing quality jobs. The rest of the crew is also very engaging and respectful and performs high quality work. If you or someone you know is looking for concrete work I cannot recommend them enough. I have a high expectation for work done at my house and they exceed those expectations. You cannot go wrong giving them a call and having them perform the work. They will continue to be my go-to company for all things related to concrete."

"We ordered over $20,000 in windows, doors, and interior trim from wilke. Things went well until the person that we ordered everything from abruptly was no longer there. We were assigned another salesperson who seemed disinterested in seeing the project through. All three of the sliding doors wilke sent out had issues. I first informed wilke of the issues 08/07/17. They came out a few months later and fixed two of the three doors. I called them and told them that they forgot to fix the sliding door in our master bedroom and that the door in our living room had broken again. They sent someone out a second time (a few months later) but it was with the wrong parts. It is now 02/23/18 and they still have not fixed the two doors that have been broken for over 6 months. They blame the delay on not being able to get the parts but in reality, they did not even order the correct parts until we escalated the issue to upper management. We are now waiting for the parts to come in and wilke to hopefully fix the sliding doors. But they are estimating that to be in March. I went with wilke because of their claim of customer service. I will never go back again and I hope anyone reading this does their homework."

Your monthly gas bill will increase by $0.35 to $0.62 for each hour you operate your fireplace. The exact impact depends on your specific model's efficiency rating, local utility rates, and usage frequency.
Many homeowners find that strategic use of a gas fireplace can reduce overall heating expenses by allowing them to lower the thermostat in unused rooms while keeping gathering spaces comfortable.
Gas fireplaces often prove more economical when heating specific living areas rather than an entire home. For example, using a fireplace in your family room while reducing whole-house heating can yield significant savings.
The comparative efficiency depends on your home's layout, insulation quality, and the relative costs of gas versus your primary heating fuel. Homes with open floor plans benefit more from strategic fireplace use than those with numerous separate rooms.
Self-installation is strongly discouraged due to safety concerns and regulatory requirements. Working with gas lines presents serious risks, including leaks, improper combustion, and potential carbon monoxide hazards.
Professional installation ensures proper venting, appropriate gas line sizing, and compliance with local building codes. Additionally, many manufacturers void warranties on self-installed units, potentially costing more in the long run if problems arise.
Converting from wood to gas involves various components and considerations that affect the final price. The project requires installing a gas line, adding a fireplace insert or gas log set, and potentially modifying the existing chimney or flue. Costs vary based on your current fireplace configuration, desired features, and local labor rates.
Consult with local fireplace specialists for quotes specific to your situation, as structural modifications or venting requirements can significantly impact the overall expense.
