Wood burning fireplace to gas fireplace

This job was done quickly and conscientiously. Our choice of porcelain tile was a problem and we ended up having to make a quick trip to buy more tiles as they kept breaking when cut. Robin came back after installation to check on the performance of the fireplace which goes to show the care taken in looking after the customer. Fireplace West met with us to decide on options and installed the fireplace answering all our questions or concerns in record time.

Hi Barb, Alan. I was struggling a bit with a haze from the initial propane setup and I came back to find you had totally cleaned the new fireplace and perfectly set it back up. Choosing the Napoleon X36 was to help sell your home. Look at those amazing pics! Did you know I have clients that have sold in a day because Fireplace West has changed the vibe/look of the house? Awesome review, awesome clients. Thx. Connor, Dan Robin.

Beautiful Valor fireplace / Excellent work

Robin and Connor did an amazing job on replacing the 30 y/o gas fireplace with this beautiful Valor G3 fireplace. While the product is beautiful, the workmanship and quality of the work done made us glad we did business with Fireplace West. They were quick, easy to work with and responsible. Thank you

Replacement Fireplace

A couple of years ago Robin replaced our wood burning fireplace with a gas insert. Last winter, we had a major renovation and used the fireplace extensively because of workmen going in and out of the house constantly and the occasional power outages due to electrical upgrades.
Robin has been helpful and prompt with any questions that we have had.
We highly recommend them.

Thanks Lynn for the very positive review. I love hearing from past clients. I was able to help you with a few queries during this extreme cold; glad to do it. Best in 2018.

Fireplace installation

We have just commenced a rebuild activity in the basement and decided to investigate having the addition of a fireplace. Robin was able to assist in selecting the right fireplace, the appropriate location and final finished design. Communications with Fireplace West were prompt and they were able to meet a tight schedule! The installation, which included all the drywall finishing as well as everything in between was very professional. Looking forward to enjoying the family room this winter!

Thank you Carol, Doug for the great review. You made it easy for us; you chose top Canadian brands, Napoleon and Valor. The Valor G3 insert into a stone fireplace is my GOTO pick for a luxe look with lots of heat. Have a great winter. Robin, Connor.

New Fireplace

Robin and his crew took down my old fireplace which had a mantle and tiles and replaced it with a new Napoleon fireplace. What a difference it made! Fireplace West is a very professional company. They showed up on time, worked full days, covered all the areas they were walking on and cleaned up at the end of the day. The drywall which now surrounds the fireplace was installed to perfection. I especially like the fact that they do the entire removal and installation from start to finish. This is the second time I have used Fireplace West and have no hesitation in recommending them,

Gas fireplace

Robin and his team took out the old, ugly, red brick fireplace and left us with a beautiful piece of art! Could not be more pleased with the outcome - they were quick, easy to work with, and created such a beautiful end result! Robin came out to our east-end home, helped us source a fireplace in a nearby store, built us a new surround that matches our style to a "T." We should not have waited so long to get this done, but now that it is, I could not be happier! Our intention is to paint it to match the trim - that will come this winter.

Many thanks for this!

You have great timing, Trudy, Bruce, with our extreme winter. You took advantage of our wood to gas swap and upgraded to the beautiful Valor H5 fireplace. Brother Dan's mantel that tied into your cabinetry was the best. I posted the unpainted fireplace pic, beautiful!! Thanks for the stellar review, Dan, Connor, Robin.

Gas Fireplace replacement

Robin and crew did a great job.
Our old gas fireplace was scary, outdated and we lost a lot of heat due to poor installation.

While removing the old fireplace and mantle Robin discovered an issue with the structure (fire hazard).
They did a great job rebuilding the mantle and finishing it with a beautiful ledge-stone.

While doing an initial inspection of the gas line, Robin noticed that the air-intake for our furnace room was not sufficient. While he came to replace the fireplace, he also upgraded the air intake for the furnace and water-heater.

Robin came highly recommended by our neighbor, I have no issue recommending Robin and crew myself.

Wood to Gas Fireplace Conversion

A very positive experience having the team of Robin, Dana and Connor remove our wood fire place and replace it with a gas one.

A huge consideration for us in proceeding with the work was the desire to preserve the existing granite tiles around our fireplace.

Robin accepted this challenge. He told us he had done a similar installation before, felt it would be possible in our case, but no guarantees. Robin's honesty and extensive experience gave us confidence that his assessment would be accurate.

Sure enough, we have a beautiful new gas fireplace, with all of our original granite tiles intact!

Work was done in 2 days at a very competitive price. We are happy customers and would highly recommend Robin and Fireplace West to others.

Sometimes the fireplace gods are with us. We were able to keep the matching kitchen counter and fireplace granite intact. The Napoleon X36 which is our Goto Fireplace looks awesome. Great clients. Thx for the sterling review. Robin, Connor, Dan.

Wood to Gas Fireplace Swap

A big thanks to Robin, Connor and Dan for a job well done in swapping out our old 80's wood fireplace with a new Napoleon gas fireplace. Not including Robin's well earned two week vacation, the job was completed within six working days of my initial evening email contact with him, through his Fireplace West website. Robin responded to my email request within the hour and was at our home the next day to discuss our job and give us a quote. After speaking with Robin, I felt comfortable in accepting his quote on the spot. I have no reservation whatsoever in recommending the services of Robin and his crew. I have dealt with many contract jobs over the past 35 years and mark this as one of the most professional, smooth and pleasant experiences. Cathy, Cooper and I thank you, and look forward to a cozy warm winter.

Quite a compliment on our service Rick. Fw's wealth is Dan and I have worked together since 1973 (old guy alert). Dana is the boss on bigger projects. Young Connor (three year employee) keeps us on track and is a lot of safety hound. We are impressed, Rick, Cathy, with your finishing skill sets. Thx for the great review.
