Expensive rate for additional labor @ $168/hour, but Kyle did an excellent and thorough job on our gas fireplaces.

Thanks for the review, John! We're glad to hear Kyle did an excellent and thorough job on your gas fireplaces. We appreciate your business and your feedback!
Kyle replaced the control panel expertly. However, he left with the metal back plate 4" away from the fireplace wall. He was still in his truck and I asked him to return to fix the back plate. He was able to adjust it and it is now snug against the wall. I was disappointed that I had to request the back plate be adjusted, it should have been done correctly before he left.
Lastly, the estimate I received in the store was $100 less than what I was charged.
The tech came to my house to do routine maintenance. He was very professional and knowledegable. Great job.

Thank you for the great review, Lynn! We're glad to hear our technician provided professional and knowledgeable service during your routine maintenance.
The Fire Factory was actually recommended to me by an HVAC service company in the area who does not service gas fireplaces. Kyle from Chimney Concepts who cleaned and serviced our fireplace was very thorough, answered all questions and explained fireplace operation details. The fireplace is in proper working order.

Had the maintenance done on our gas fireplace. The technician was on time ( a few minutes early but that was ok) and told us about how long it would take and at the end told us if we have any problems or the glass gets black to give him a call

Thanks for the great review, James! We are so glad our technician arrived on time and took great care of your gas fireplace. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you need anything else!
Kyle did super job. He knew what he was doing and was very thorough with the repair. He was also very thorough with the cleaning of the fireplace, even though that probably is the least favorite part of his job.
