Sam Conklin and Kirk came to my place on Friday to fix my gas fireplace. They knew what was wrong. They had the part on their truck.

This is one of the best purchase experiences we have ever had. They were knowledgeable, patient, and very experienced in all aspects. We are very happy with their recommendation for finishing our fireplace structure also.
Sam did an excellent job for us. Not only addressing the needs of the fireplace but He took the time to walk us through the issues and explain our options. We would work with Sam again and will be requesting him for our ongoing fireplace needs. Thanks Sam!
Good people, great service.
Sam Conklin was my tech and he was awesome! It’s nice to have our fireplace converted over to natural gas.
He also replaced the ignition system that was 20 years old. Now it runs like a champ!
They did a great job! Terrific communication, prompt, good pricing and the technicians were awesome!
Was so happy to have Sam Conklin here this morning to work on my 1998 Nepoleon fireplace . He gave it a much needed cleaning and checked all functions. So happy it’s in great shape . Thank you for your service Sam .
Sam C. The Master specialist was on time, answered all my questions and left our fireplace looking great.
Very knowledgeable and helpful. I especially love that they give you a pic and bio for your tech so it’s not some stranger showing up at your house.
Sam Conklin from Vanderwall bros was great. Came to service our two gas fireplaces that were not used for years. Very knowledgeable, thorough, and professional. Would recommend!! Thanks Sam.
What an amazing company! They were very prompt and super helpful. Sam Conklin was so professional and explained everything to me about my gas fireplaces. Highly recommend!!
Fantastic, five star review! Sam came out to service my gas fireplace and I was beyond impressed with his knowledge and expertise, providing excellent instruction on how to utilize my gas fireplace, and getting it in great working order. It’s even set up now with a remote to easily turn on and off! It’s rare this day and age to see someone that is truly an expert in their field and one that takes such pride in the work they do. VanderWall is very fortunate to have Sam on their staff! I highly recommend this company, and we will definitely be reaching back out in the future for any other fireplace needs.
From our first contact with Mark at the 29th street store to the finish, this business is first rate in all ways. They only use their own staff for all phases of selection and installation. Andrew, Logan, and Sam were outstanding! All the staff are professional, skilled, approachable, and just quality people who are loyal to their work and their employer. Vanderwall has been in business doing fireplaces for well over 100 years. Vanderwall is the place to go for all your fireplace needs. They will be around for the duration for sure. Look no further!!
DIYer here to say Vanderwall was an incredible supplier to work with for the stone veneer, mortar and hearthstone I needed to reface our fireplace. Ken was my first point of contact and helped the process of finding the right stone. He’s supportive answering questions and pointing out potential problem points and not just in it for the sale. I believe they supplied me with even more stone than I ordered just to ensure I had enough of the right pieces to fill out the space. Mark helped me with the custom sized hearthstone and made that part a breeze for me. Kyle (along with Ken) was also a great help in what additional supplies may be required for the job, and helpful tips on mortaring which I’d never done before. Thanks guys you da best!!
Technician arrived on time, very knowledgeable and friendly and fixed our fireplace, quickly. Sam explained everything throughly to he was doing and did a great job cleaning up afterwards.
After doing extensive research on at least 4 area fireplace companies, we decided to go with Vanderwall. We replaced an existing old fireplace with a new Nordik 41DV gas fireplace. Everyone I worked with at Vanderwall (Mark, Kyle, Andrea, Nate, and Sam) were knowledgeable, professional, skilled, and great to work with. I would highly recommend Vanderwall for any fireplace sales and service needs that you have.
Sam conklin, was very informative and his work ethic is impeccable. Also the receptionist of the company is polite and a charm to work with.
These are the folks that you want to install or service your gas fireplace. Sam was our tech and he was personable and really knew his stuff. If I need service again, I will definitely call Vanderwall.
Sam was very professional and very knowledgeable! Did an excellent job!
We went in looking for a gas insert for our smaller wood burning fireplace. It’s an older house and needs something appropriate for its age. Vanderwalls had lots of selection, and several that would look great in our house. Spoke with Ken, very knowledgeable, extremely helpful, answered all of our questions.
Very helpful.
We LOVE our new Dimplex XL50 fireplace which we purchased at Heritage Fireplace. Mark was especially helpful and knowledgeable upon directing us to the fireplace that would suit our needs.
Our home is 111 years old and has a unique fireplace that originally burned coal. We searched to find a gas log insert that would work in our original fireplace and were so pleased to have Heritage Fireplace find one for us. We are very pleased with how it turned out!
Amazing service and good solution to replace the fire starter in our fireplace at home. It was timely and professional as well as warmth care and understanding. Ones the installer showed up to install the equipment it was done very professional and high quality. I can honestly say I had never had such service by the whole staff. Thank you so much.
