In March 2026 Matt and Hayden set a customer's fireplace insert perfectly level, and when Matt noticed the trim size wasn't quite right, he came back the same day to swap it out.

Its home improvement registration, HIC.0611995, is active on the state registry, and it holds 4.7 stars from 123 Google ratings. In September 2026 a customer said their fireplace, bought from Fire Finesse a while ago, has been serviced annually at the beginning of the fall, and that Matt came to work on it that day.

In January 2026 Matt did a repair and cleaning for a customer and clearly explained what he was doing. In September 2026 a customer said the crew installed a wood stove insert on a roof the installers called one of the steepest they had ever worked on. In January 2026 a customer who had bought a wood stove insert more than 10 years earlier said Jessica worked out a warranty claim with the manufacturer, and within a few weeks Fire Finesse replaced the broken stove with a brand new one. In May 2026 a customer wished Fire Finesse also did the permitting, though in the end it wasn't difficult. In January 2026 another customer said they might pick a retailer that handles permits next time, while noting Jessica helped them work out what needed to be done. In a November 2023 review, a customer said the gas contractor Fire Finesse recommended never pulled the proper permit, and the shop told them the permits were their responsibility. In a June 2024 review, a customer said a service tech took $500 and never came back to fix their stove or returned their call.

In February 2024 a one-star reviewer said they were quoted 6K each for two log sets plus installation.
“We bought and had the insert installed by Fire Finesse who I would not recommend. Their communication was terrible”
Great selection of fireplace options and nice staff
We got our fireplace from here a while ago and since then have had it serviced annually at the beginning of the fall. Matt came to work on our fireplace today. He’s professional, very polite, and does excellent work. It was a pleasure working with him and we look forward to working with him again.
Excellent customer service by Hayden and ughh forgot the other gentleman's name. Sorry! Very friendly and efficient.
We used fire finesse for our wood stove insert project. They were very communicative and helpful throughout the process. They not only did a great job with the installation but they said our roof was one of the steepest they have ever worked on. The folks who do the install are extremely nice which is very important and can be hard to find. Would definitely suggest them for any fireplace work you need.
We have used Fire Finesse at our residence and at one of our rental properties for more than 10 years. They come out to clean and service our gas fireplaces. Always great service and always a pleasure to deal with. Stick with the professionals and go to Fire Finesse!
