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

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  My boring, outdated gas fireplace is now updated, and looks great!!!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

"When we moved in to our 1991 home, the new gas dryer wouldn't heat. A check of the manual indicated that there was probably a blocked vent. We contacted Abetter Vent Cleaning, and they came the same day. The technician discovered that the outside vent cap was jammed into the vent. With our permission, he cut the cap off. He cleaned the vents (clearly something the previous owners had neglected). He quoted a reasonable price for the vent cap repair, but we chose not to have it done that day. <br /> We had him return last week to fix the outdoor vent cap. We were contacted to see if we wanted him to come a few days earlier than scheduled, so we had service earlier than expected. He had to cut into the stucco to remove the old, broken unit. His replacement and repair was completed quickly, and looks very neat. The dryer is now working and venting correctly. <br /> Pros: <br /> - They responded to phone calls quickly and professionally. <br /> - The two times we've used their services, they've been on time and had all of the required tools and parts. <br /> - The technicians performed the jobs efficiently. <br /> - They clean up any mess, and leave the house as clean as it was when they arrived. <br /> - <br /> While they are probably not the least expensive vendor, they do the quoted work in a reasonable length of time for the quoted price. <br /> Cons: <br /> None for the work we have had done. <br />"

"I was selling a house and the buyers wanted the chimney inspected and swept. I had already purchased another home that had a fireplace and a pot belly stove. Blodgett's serviced the home I was selling and then followed me to the new house and serviced it as well. They were on time, kept everything clean, and were very knowledgeable about the pot belly stove. I think the price was around $100 for the one place and $150 for the other. <br />"

"The guy did a fine job. We had just brought a new washer and dryer, and someone told us that it was a good idea to clean the dryer vent before we put in the new dryer. He came out when he said, he took about the right time and everything. He took 30/35 minutes to do it. He seem like a nice guy. I would say to drop the price. I think that was a fair price for coming out here."

"When I told my my neighbor in Burbank about the trouble I was having with my remodel, she told me about Adam, and said he was the most professional and honest contractor she'd ever experienced. I called him that same day, and while he wasn't immediately available, he spent a generous amount of time talking me through my situation with great advice and several solid contacts. He may or may not have time to work on my project in the near future, but he has already been truly helpful. <br />"

"stop us from using an in operable fireplace. which could have caused a fire in our attice <br />"

"It was awesome! Patrick did a great job. Very professionally done. And he's very nice. It couldn't have been any easier to get this project done. I called, he came, he did a great job at a very fair price!"

"The work was done on time. Our project manager Adam was awesome, he always answered my phone calls and showed up when he said he would. The workers were professional and on time. The roof was delayed by rain, and the workers covered it with plastic so we wouldn't have any leaks. The a/c and furnace were replaced in one day. Overall, it was a very good experience and I plan to use The House Next Door for future home improvements, and will recommend them to my friends."
