Josh was recommended by another company to come repair the damper door on our manufactured fireplace. He was very easy to schedule with. He was on time for our appointment and walked me through the process as he did the repair. Very happy with his ability to complete the repair quickly. Will be recommending him to anyone in need of fireplace maintenance and repairs.

Best chimney sweep company ever! Josh is fantastic! I have a VERY old wood stove. Its hard to find someone knowledgeable about these older ones. Josh was great. He explained everything, answered all my questions, and showed me how to care for our gaskets and everything. I would give him 10 stars if I could. 100% recommend!

Friendly Fire was highly recommended and did not disappoint. Josh was extremely good at communicating and helpful with a few side issues about our wood burning insert. He went out of his way to set up our appointment, arrived on time, and did a great job cleaning and inspecting our chimney. The pricing is good and you will get an honest assessment.
