Testimonials

"Overall, we are DELIGHTED with their performance. They were punctual, courteous and knowledgeable. After burning wood for 40 years, I felt I was quite well informed, but they knew more. I politely suggested they didn’t really need to spend any time on our stove, but Mike proceeded to clean it thoroughly (after I thought that I had done so), and we can’t believe the difference!

Brad was very well versed in the intricacies of wood-burling, and passed on several helpful hints. Don’t hesitate to use us as a reference. We’ve already recommended you (through South Burlington’s Front Porch Forum).

Thanks for a great job!"
