Replaced gas piping to bring to code.
I had another company come to my house prior to A Perfect Plumber, the company was A Brighter Glow. I had them come and service two fireplaces to make sure they were ready for use during the winter months. They did a shoddy job. Did not clean the glass properly and left what appears to to be mice droppings and poison (from previous owner) The gas main piping needed to be replaced according to code, so I had them quote for the job in addition to servicing my fireplaces. The quote was fair and came around $2000. After they left, the weather was warm, so we had no need to light the gas fire.
When the time came, we could not get one fire place to ignite. We did all the youtube videos, had competent friends come and advise...nothing. When I called and emailed the company, they said there would be another charge for coming out to light the fireplace. Now, I did not want it done instantly, but at their convenience when they were next in the area. But No. So, I went and got another quote for the bigger job.
A Perfect Plumber came in $10's less, so not a huge deal, but they came on time, were clean, courteous and efficient both for the quote and for the actual job. Once the gas line was done, they went to light the ignitor and seemed to have issues too. But, they fixed it and I now have a very nice clean and safe fireplace! Brighter Glow gets 1 star from me! A Perfect Plumber get 5 stars. The crew by the way were polite and not intrusive in my day, they worked hard all day without any fuss. Thanks guys.
