Very seldom does a persons' expectations get exceeded - my experience with Imran was one of those times. We have two gas log fireplaces in our house and it was obvious to me that they had rarely or never been serviced prior to the three years we have been living in our home. Then they started acting up and I knew it was time so I did a simple search on google and Imran and his company, Gas Fireplaces Services and Repairs, came up. His reviews were unbelievable and after reading them I said to myself "this is the guy" and did not even look any further. I emailed him and he called me back the next day: we eventually settled on a Sunday. He showed up at the promised time and had a look at the fireplaces and explained to me the potential problems. He then asked me if I wanted to proceed and my answer was "for sure, let's get it done". Imran was meticulously clean and tidy and watching him work I could see his passion for his chosen trade. As it turns out and as I expected, my fireplaces were in pretty rough shape and I needed to replace a sensor on one fireplace and remote ignition boxes on both fireplaces. He spent 15 minutes trying to salvage/repair the ignition boxes so I would not have to replace them but in the end I said to Imran "it's time, you can't do anymore for those ignition switches as their maker is calling them home so lets just replace them". Imagine that, someone trying to save you money. After cleaning the entire fireplace from top to bottom and side to side he then reassembled the fireplace logs and parts after checking that every component to ensure they were in proper and SAFE working condition. Once that was done, he then did some marvellous touch ups on the fireplaces with his "Magic Can" and voila, my fireplaces worked perfectly like never before and they looked beautiful to boot. Happy Wife Happy Life Happy Chihuahua who spends all day in front of the fireplace.
I am so happy to have met this fine gentleman named Imran and to have welcomed him into our home. It's extraordinarily rare to meet such a fine person and he happens to be the same guy who came and repaired and renewed the life of our fireplaces.
He's a 10+ in my rating guide.
