Customers Speak
“Great company! Fireplace Freddie came out after I called them about a problem I was having with the fireplace in a new house I bought. I had smoke backing up into the living room when I lit fires. The house is pretty close to the hills and I also has roof rats nesting in the chimney. “The guy from the company came out and installed a chimney cap to keep out rats, birds, rain, etc. and it worked like a charm. No more roof rats in the chimney. He also took care of the smoking problem the chimney had and did everything in one visit. “The guy was really nice, showed up on time and did a great job, Now I can enjoy fires without having smoke coming into the house or rats pitter-pattering in the chimney. I would recommend Fireplace Freddie, Good service, good prices and a catchy name.”
“I am writing to thank you and your workmen for all their efforts in the repair/replacement of our fireplace. We appreciated all your phone calls and updates. You really kept us informed at all times. “The two men that did the work were not only courteous, but also concerned that we were pleased with the outcome. They spent over eight hours straight inside and outside our home and didn’t leave a speck of dust. The men cleaned up after themselves outside and protected our belongings inside that we did not have to vacuum or paint. “Our fireplace works so well and yes, I even watched the video they took. We tell everyone what a great team you are and to call you when repairs are needed. Thank you all.”
