I just want to say thank you so much for the workers you have and the work they do. The gentleman who worked at our house yesterday were very thorough, professional, courteous, and were very careful to clean up their work area. I was very impressed with your first employee when he came to do the inspection and again with the men who did the work.

Never returned phone call. I am a past customer to the tune of $4,000 in addition to chimney cleaning services. I will not be using your services any longer!

We have used HearthMasters for years and are never disappointed. Gene and Marge provide straightforward information, respond promptly to emails or messages and make sure our chimney and wood burning stove are clean and safe for burning fires. No mess, thorough cleaning and fair discount pricing. We continue to be very pleased with their service!

They serviced my Regency gas insert fireplace on 2-11-19. Used it for one month. Tried using it again 11-7-19 and have the same problem. Paid $239 for this service that lasted one month. Tried calling and only get an answering machine. Left message but no return call

We recently moved, and I noticed some things that were unsettling with our fireplace. I called HearthMasters, and Gene (the owner) came out, inspected it, and performed a routine maintenance, and even (practically) re-installed the unit! The logs and the fan were never installed correctly, and he took care of everything! Really grateful for his honesty and integrity and his knowledge of fireplaces/chimneys. We will definitely use HearthMasters in the future for all of our fireplace needs.

Hearthmasters was the only one in town brave enough to take on my wood insert project which was a little out of the ordinary. We have thick decorative stone face on our fireplace and we wanted the unit recessed in the opening so as not to distract from the look. This required cutting down the trim pieces to fit an uneven opening. Gene, Marge and their crew did an excellent job on the project and we couldn't be happier with the results.

I write about 1 review a year, and they get this years award. Rick and his brother were so nice, professional, informative, and passionate. The attention to detail and amount of knowledge Rick had was awesome. Not only will I use them again, I can't wait to save up and buy a new/more efficient stove from them. Thanks Rick!

Just got a brand new chimney built on my 90 year old house by these guys and they were amazing! Not only did they fix my leaking chimney but, they ended up saving me $1000.00 dollars. I have been dreading having this work done for years because I just knew they were going to tell me I needed to have the chimney rebuilt and it would be an ordeal. After working with HearthMasters, I only wish I would've called them sooner.

They were professional, courteous, and took extra time to explain what they were doing each day every step along the way. Its nice to see that there are still craftsmen around today that take pride in the work that they do. I look forward to working with them in the future.

Gene and his crew were wonderful! We had a chimney fire and our insurance company tried to deny our claim but Marge at Hearth Masters helped us fight the insurance company and prove that per our policy it was a coverable loss. They replaced our chimney liner and firebox and we couldn't be happier. Gene made sure we were well informed on everything he was doing or going to have to do so there were no surprises.

We can't sing their praises enough. Although a chimney is an often neglected part of the home we have been telling all of our friends, family, and coworkers that if they need anything done don't even bother calling around and just call Hearth Masters. If my wife ever convinces me to put in the brick pizza oven in the back yard she's always wanted I'll know who will be putting it in!

We were so pleased with the work completed by Padgitt Chimney (Hearthmasters.) The three chimneys on our 80 year old building were all in need of repair and upgrade. Gene and Marge Padgitt both worked with us to explore the best options for saving money on our utility bills and improving the appearanceof the fireplaces. We chose gas log inserts for two of the fireplaces and a relining for the third.

They turned out beautifully! They completed the work on time and cleaned up afterward! We felt that they were very safety conscious and helped us find the best reasonably priced solution. Our customers regularly comment about how beautiful the black enamel insert in our garden room is! Thanks Hearthmasters!
