Carl was excellent. He covered and protected my floor around the fireplace before beginning. He then thoroughly cleaned and even spray painted the inside of my fireplace and repaired it totally, when no other company could fix it. He replaced the wall switch that operates the fireplace and now it all looks and works better than it ever has! He spent nearly 2 hours working on it and his price was very, very reasonable. He couldn’t have been nicer or more professional and he completely cleaned up when he was finished. I highly recommend Carl of Fireplaces and Stoves MD to anyone and everyone who would need his services.
