Install new gas Living Room fireplace

So impressed with Robin, Dan and Matt, the "team". We contacted the company, learned about their products and services, and 9 days later we are enjoying a beautifully installed and aesthetically awesome Napoleon Ascent gas fireplace. Nine days! Are you kidding me!! Fast, friendly service, super professional. They helped figure out the best location in our living room and custom designed a built-in installation that looks like it came with the house. All around nice people to do business with. They not only honoured the agreed upon price, but in the final analysis offered a nice discount too. Can't do better than that. Thanks so much.

Amy, I'm convinced that "comfy homes" are what we sell. At my own house, we wouldn't walk into the family room without turning on our Vermont Castings gas stove. Thx for the special
review Amy. Robin, Matt, Dan. Happy thanksgiving.

fireplace install (Fireplacewest)

Price was one consideration when we selected fireplace west (it was lowest) but I was particularly impressed with the positive reviews. The job is now finished and my review is no different. They predicted two days, came when promised, provided helpful advice and the work was neatly and efficiently completed. Thank you Robin for a job well done.

Loved your basement project Jim, Gaya. I think better than our price is we answer our mail and show up. A busy time this fall. Keep safe and enjoy this winter in your new home. Robin Thx.

Buying and installing Napolian gas fireplace

Sign of the times. My kids wanted me to be more environmentally friendly and to change from my wood fire to a gas one. I liked the idea of just heating one area during the winter and besides I was getting too old to be climbing snow banks to get to my wood in the garage in the middle of winter. I was very lucky to find Robin. He has his own business and spent so much time explaining everything to me and helped me pick which one would work best for me having checked out my fireplace. I am so very pleased. Lovely not to have to call a huge company for service or advice. These gas fires really work well.
Thanks Robin. You were just wonderful.

Matt and I gave you our best. Installed the new Napoleon Oakville GDIX3; you were surprised by the warmth coming from the usually cold living room. An aside, we sent two other companies to you in side projects and all came back to me with pleasant Dealings stories about you. You get what you give! Pleasure to do business with you, Judy. Thx, Matty, Robin, Dan, Chris.

Thank you for the great review. It's important that a gas tech looks at your fireplace yearly. Thx Matty, Dan, Robin.

WOW Service

One phone call and he was at our door within the hour. Repair done quickly and efficiently. Got the glass cleaned at the same time. Overall, it confirms that we selected the correct fireplace and installer in the first place.

A bit (a lot) of Catholic Guilt ensures a timely response. BEST-our mantra "none to zero warranty work" came through again- changed the batteries. N/C. Glad you are enjoying the fireplace every morning. Thx Sharon, Ed. Robin FW

Gas fireplace won't stay on

Our gas fire place would not stay on this morning (Dec 30, 2019). With ice rain, snow blowing and all, Robin told us last year when he came over in ice rain, that the cap on the gas fireplace can become blocked and the fireplace shuts off automatically as a safety measure. Same thing happened today. I contacted Robin in hope that he could help us. He directed me over the phone on how to get it staying on. His instructions were clear and simple and now we have fire. " Give a woman a fish and she will cook a meal for a day. Show her how to fish and she will feed the whole family over the holidays" ;) Thank you very much Robin for the excellent service. May the new year bring you health, happiness and prosperity.

Two fireplaces installed

I read the reviews for fireplacewest and hired them. The reviews were right. What a great bunch of people. Truly a family business. We wanted two fireplaces changed to gas. One was on the third floor of our house and needed a special gas line installed. Robin found a way although difficult, having to go through a wall. His brother did a fantastic job on the drywall. Work was done efficiently and neatly. He knew exactly what size insert would fit our two fireplaces as they were irregular sizes and even fabricated a surround for one of them. Extra work done with a smile. . Thanks to Robin, his brother and his son, we are enjoying two
beautiful gas fireplaces.
They deserve their great rating!

One of our pleasures is knowing how much Patty Anne would really love the new fireplaces first cold night. Tonight's the night, -20 and windy. Thanks for the great review, Dana,Marty, Robin. Merry Christmas.

Gas Fireplace Installation

We chose Fireplace West based on their great reviews and full service finishing work. We were not disappointed. Robin was a pleasure to work with, in particular collaborating on a design that would blend with the scale and character of our older home in the city. He is committed to excellence, even returning the week after the job to replace one of the logs because it wouldn’t seat quite right when installed. Dana did beautiful work finishing the mantle and drywall. The work area was kept very neat and we had minimal clean up afterwards as a result. This company is first class, and I would highly recommend them.

This install was on a bare wall and Susan's tweaking of a phone pic of mine really surprised Dan and I. It was to perfect scale and looked original. Good work, Susan, Adrian. Thx for the great review, Robin, Dan. Merry Christmas.

fireplace and surround install

Robin was fantastic - a pleasure from start to finish with the installation of both our gas fireplace and also removal of the existing old surround and installation of a brand new beautiful marble and wood trim around it. We highly recommend Robin and Fireplace West and would happily deal with them again.
