Customers Are Saying

This business is great. They are prompt, professional and friendly. They stand behind their work and if something isn’t quite right they are quick to fix it.

We wanted a wood stove installed in our living room. Sam helped us choose the right size at our consultation. It was installed and we couldn’t be happier with it! It has kept the house warm for a fraction of the cost of propane. They offered a discount on cleaning for returning customers. The cleaning was very thorough and the service person (Reid) was kind and professional. We recently had a problem with a leak around the stack so I called to ask about warranty info. They sent someone out right away (free of charge) and they did an inspection and determined that it would be good to replace a few parts with newer ones and this was covered under the warranty.

Five stars! CFAC made promises and they kept them all.

No complaints! Five stars!CFAC made promises and they kept them all. Service from consultation to maintenance and repair to installation of an insert, was professional, courteous, and timely. They answered all our questions about our existing fireplace and took the time to help us select what fireplace insert was right for our home. The original fireplace hadn’t been used in decades so winter holidays in this old house haven’t been this cozy in a long time. Thanks, CFAC.

Excellent!

Very pleased with the fireplace inserts and the installation. The installers were very professional and efficient and tidy. Stayed on task and were able to complete a job scheduled for two days in one day. Will definitely be using Certified Fireplace and Chimney for the upgrade on our other fireplace.

These are the BEST people to take care of your wood burning appliances!

These are the BEST people to take care of your wood burning appliances! Peyton and Reed were here today and were so knowledgeable and conscientious and considerate. They really know what they are doing. They took their time and were very diligent in their work. I have done business with this company for 7 years, and I am extremely pleased with them. I highly recommend!

CFAC was a great company to work with.

CFAC was a great company to work with. We recently purchased our home here in Topeka, and we didn’t exactly know what the condition of the fireplace was. They were able to fit us into their schedule quickly, which was awesome. Everyone we worked with was very professional and courteous. From phone conversations scheduling the service to the technician coming to our house to compete the job.

Very professional

They didn’t give up until the problem was fixed. Very professional

He did such an excellent job covering our rugs and mantle, you can’t even tell that he was here! We were worried about the condition of our chimney and now we have peace of mind.

Reed came out to inspect both our fireplaces. After inspecting them he determined that they needed to be cleaned and gave them both a good cleaning. He emailed me a report on the fireplaces and chimney while he was still here which included several pictures and explanation of what he found along with recommendations for a few repairs.

Certified Fireplace and Chimney was clean, quick and gave us a beautiful fireplace we use daily during the cold months. They will also work with your budget. We love this company!

We highly recommend Certified Fireplace and Chimney. They are responsive, professional and extremely flexible to complete work around your schedule. When our chimney was inspected, they were able to show us via video and thoroughly explain the issues. We ended up replacing our wood burning fireplace with a gas one (remote included!).

Thank you all for turning distressing news into an experience of compassionate care and peace.

In a Serendipitous Moment of Spontaneity, during a quick stop by McDonald’s, the sign on Certified Fireplace and Chimney drew me in! My husband and I had just recently discussed how we needed to find someone to inspect our chimney and fireplaces. From the moment I met Taryn I was impressed with her warm conversation and professionalism. We thought we were scheduling a simple inspection and cleaning, however with Reed’s thoroughness and training we soon learned that we had a dangerous fireplace that needed to be replaced. Although this news could’ve been devastating, it was not! Throughout this journey, Taryn graciously held our hand through the red tape of insurance. Alek and Sean, while compassionately consulting us, applied their knowledge and amazingly diverse craftsmanship to create a fireplace that we love even more than the one we “lost”. We have been blessed by this honest, hard-working, team of professionals at Certified Fireplace and Chimney. We recommend the use of this company without hesitation. Their outstanding work ethic accompanied by quality materials and top notch service are wrapped in admirable integrity by every employee and owner. Thank you all for turning distressing news into an experience of compassionate care and peace.

These guys came in..knew what they were doing… and had us up and running in 3 days… for half the price.

Don’t mess around… Get these guys. We had a chimney rebuild bid out by four companies. 2 said it was impossible.. 1 said it could be done but it would take 4 crews and $50,000. These guys came in..knew what they were doing… and had us up and running in 3 days… for half the price.

I now have an absolutely gorgeous fireplace!

In February 2022, our fireplace had a flue fire which rendered it unsafe to use.

The remedy for this issue included the removal of the old fireplace and flue. A new high efficiency wood burning fireplace, gas log lighter, and flue system were installed. Ryan, Sam, Tony, and Kiel were part of the renovation crew. I became one of the team because we had to work together to complete the work. It was an enormous job!

I now have an absolutely gorgeous fireplace!

I am so thankful we called Sam first, our house could have easily caught on fire, and I may not be here to write this review. Thank you Sam and your wonderful crew!

“I called Sam for a routine cleaning for our fireplace, when doing the cleaning Sam found a major problem concerning our fireplace. The insurance company called another company out to get their opinion, unfortunately that company did not find any problems. Sam was adamant and he proved to the insurance company and their engineer that there was damage to the fireplace that needed fixed.I am so thankful we called Sam first, our house could have easily caught on fire, and I may not be here to write this review. Thank you Sam and your wonderful crew!”

They are exceptionally skilled designers, artisans and craftsmen and we are incredibly pleased with the work

“Both Tony and Kiel were fantastic – they are exceptionally skilled designers, artisans and craftsmen and we are incredibly pleased with the work they produced. Sam, the owner of Certified Fireplace & Chimney, worked with us directly on every aspect of the project and followed the progress through to completion – he even helped heft the unit into position!

These guys are the real deal – fair, knowledgeable, amiable and creative. We highly endorse and recommend them for any fireplace or wood stove project you may be considering.”

I only have the best to say about Certified Fireplace and Chimney

“I only have the best to say about Certified Fireplace and Chimney. I am a Manhattan resident and they took spectacular care of me. We had chimney damage from general aging and tornado winds The fireplace was unusable and not up to code while also being absolutely dated looking. Basically – everything needed fixing and updating.

Sam came by to take a look at the damage and quote for chimney fixing, fireplace upgrading, and fireplace remodeling. He understood my design ideas which just consisted of a bunch of adjectives: simple, clean, and minimalist and he really brought my vision to life. I put my full trust in him because everything he showed me, I was 100% on board with. He was very flexible with doing gas/wood – in the end we decided to stay wood burning.

Sam communicated with us about all delays for materials, and once everything arrived to their desired quality – we booked a time. The workers consisted of Tony and Kiel and they did an outstanding job. Besides their professionalism, they were incredibly respectful, hardworking, and kind. They communicated with me and answered any questions I had. They were truly artists in their craft and I am grateful they were the ones taking care of the remodel! Thank you!”

Looking forward to working with them each year for an annual inspection!

“Sam and Taryn were very helpful and informative. Both were respectful of my home inside and out. Sam showed me on his camera the issues that needed to be addressed, and showed me that inside the chimney was in great condition. Looking forward to working with them each year for an annual inspection!”

This company is definitely customer service oriented

“This company is definitely customer service oriented. Whenever I had a question or concern or needed more information, I got an immediate response. Reed was very patient and thorough in his assessment of what needed to be done. I had a gas fireplace taken out and electric insert put in. The installers Sean and Aleck we’re excellent. I had a small problem after the installation and they came out without any question and fixed it. I highly recommend this company.”

Certified fireplace and chimney was reasonably priced and responsive throughout the project

One of the great things about a foreclosed home is all the hidden surprises. After discovering our chimney needed rebuilt and fireplace replaced we received several bids. It was obviously a large and expensive project we weren’t excited to take on.

Certified fireplace and chimney was reasonably priced and responsive throughout the project. They were able to get the work done in a timely fashion and Tony and his crew were friendly and professional. They even put up with our overly loving dog that kept sneaking in to help.
To top it off we had a family emergency during the course of work and we received a wonderful card expressing their thoughts and prayers for family!

I would recommend them for any fireplace & chimney needs!

“We had a gas fireplace insert with a basic mantle. But we wanted to convert it to a wood burning fireplace, with stone framing it in. Certified Fireplace & Chimney did a great job bringing our vision to life. They were in & out within 3-4 days. They pay great attention to detail & they were very protective of our hard wood floors. Very professional & polite crew. I would recommend them for any fireplace & chimney needs!”

They did a great job. Beautiful work, a very timely install and pleasant workers.

“We had an electric fire place with tile and new hearth installed. They did a great job. Beautiful work, a very timely install and pleasant workers.”

We absolutely LOVE the way our kitchen turned out!

“Certified Fireplace exceeded all expectations. From the inspector, the installers & everyone in between, they proved to be professional, courteous & outstanding! We aren’t merely satisfied, we’re beyond grateful for their service.”

They protected the work area carefully and cleaned up thoroughly each day and at the end of the job. I recommend them without reservation!!

“I am beyond thrilled with our new fireplace doors!! Ryan, Sam, Reed, Carly and all the other workers [sorry – don’t have your names] went over the top to fabricate and install gorgeous doors that blend seamlessly into our MCM home. Ryan and Reed, especially, worked tirelessly to make sure that every detail was perfect – not simple given the complexity of the fireplace. I could not be happier with their work and with how my fireplace looks.”

I couldn’t imagine the job could be done that quickly! The work was exceptional. They did a great job.

“We added a gas-lit wood burning fireplace where there was none to our rural farmhouse. Certified Fireplace and Chimney surveyed our home, heard what we wanted, and worked with us to get the stone we were looking for and design something that delivered what we wanted. They showed up on time and went from no fireplace or chimney to finished project in two weeks. I couldn’t imagine the job could be done that quickly!

The work was exceptional. They did a great job. Very detail oriented, professional, and high quality. Couldn’t say enough about how great this turned out. And it looks like it’s been in our 80 year old renovated home forever–which was the goal. No we are looking forward to winter to be able to really enjoy it!”

The demo and remodel was completed in 3 days, as promised. I am in love with my new fireplace. It screams 2021 and not 1998! It is gorgeous!

“I highly recommend Certified Fireplace and Chimney! I had an outdated 1998 large brick fireplace with a non-functioning insert. I was ready for a working fireplace AND a major facelift to the room. Sam came out for a consultation and then helped with different mock-ups of tile, mantel, and media material until I was satisfied. I was then promptly booked for my remodel! Ryan, Sean, Reed, and RJ were professional, courteous, timely and tidy. Great care was taken to cover my furniture and protect my flooring, and every night all materials were cleaned up and put away. ”
