"Very disappointed for the lack of care and quality that went into the job. The job that they completed for me was completely re-doing my flower beds around the front of the house and around my large tree in the front yard. When I requested a quote, the company owner showed up to the house to sell me on the vision of what we could do, then after signing I got a bunch of kids that rushed through the job. Sold by the visionary, but work completed by young guys with a lack of care. -They were the most expensive of four quotes, thought I would get higher quality. -They didn't use the thick black material that prevents weeds like all three other competitors who gave me quotes did, they just sprayed weed killer (likely as a cost-cutting option). -Their young kids/guys who completed the job over-sprayed the weed killer a solid two to three feet all along the outside of the flower beds and killed a lot of my grass outside of the flower beds, as well as other areas of my yard many feet away from the flower beds. Just random sprayed spots where the grass has now been dead for weeks. Just use the black material like everyone else does....rather than kill a bunch of my grass.... -They left a bunch of clumps of grass and weeds in the flower beds that they never pulled out like they were supposed to, very very sloppy. I essentially had to go around cleaning up these clumps from the flower beds after they left the job. -They left two different rows of bushes completed lop-sided and not in a straight line along the house, they ended up having to come back another day to fix this. -They ended up leaving two empty spots where one of the young guys that was somewhat in charge told me he would plant two particular plants in those two spots, then just never did. So they had to come back another day upon my request to plant something in those spots. -They tried to charge me for additional plants that were already on blueprint/invoice sheet from the original quote. They ended up fixing this, but come on guys.... For this being the most expensive of the four quotes, I really ended up being the sucker....good for this company, they got another high profit job by selling the vision and then *well* under-delivering. I paid the invoice in full and moved on, but I would advise anyone else reading this review to not buy into the vision of the owner or his son, in terms of what picture they paint in your mind about quality. These two guys WILL NOT be the ones doing the work."

Yes, a well-executed fireplace remodel can lift resale value by giving the whole room an instant focal point. Swapping dated brick for light stone tile, adding integrated lighting, or upgrading the mantel turns a tired feature into a modern showpiece that buyers notice. While returns vary by market, most real estate professionals agree that a fresh, code-compliant fireplace helps listings stand out and can nudge sale prices higher than a comparable home with an outdated unit.
You must hire an NFI-certified mason or general contractor to install your fireplace. Experts holding NFI and WETT certifications guarantee a secure installation with precise attention to safety and performance. These professionals complete every phase with defined expertise, ensuring that electrical, structural, and combustion components comply with strict safety standards, which enhances your home’s overall integrity.
Rebuilding a fireplace demands a distinct investment based on the unit type and project scope. An electric fireplace rebuild costs very little, while restoring a wood-burning fireplace requires tens of thousands of dollars for specialized labor and materials. This higher investment ensures complete structural renewal, enhanced safety, and a substantial increase in your home’s overall value.
