Report
We had a gas fireplace installed on our screen porch but after less than a year it began malfunctioning. Mr Bradsher was recommended by the shop we purchased the unit from. At the time we were also having issues with our indoor gas insert. After making an appointment, Ken arrived on time. It was during Covid and he wore a mask and was very respectful. He wore clean booties over his shoes and laid down drop cloths. He was very neat. He fixed the indoor fireplace and worked on the patio. He phoned the manufacturer and ordered the necessary parts. Once they arrived he returned and installed. There

Ken is extremely knowledgeable and takes great care in installing gas logs. After having another gas log installers come out, Ken was the only one able to pinpoint the issue we had with our brand new log set. He went above and beyond and talked us through how to get our issue fixed with the manufacturer. We now have a working set and were so glad that Ken was recommended to us.

Highly recommend this company for fireplace/gas log service! Ken did a great job picking up where someone else left off. I had a bad experience with another company and Ken stepped in and made it right. Ordered parts needed and showed up on a Saturday to install them and get my gas logs working again. Very nice, very neat and very reliable. Showed up right on time and got right to work. Im so happy I called him! Will use him for maintenance and service in the future. Trustworthy and professional
