Testimonials

Dear HearthMasters,

I just want to say thank you so much for the workers you have and the work they do. The gentleman who worked at our house yesterday were very thorough, professional, courteous, and were very careful to clean up their work area. I was very impressed with your first employee when he came to do the inspection and again with the men who did the work. You have outstanding employees!

Thank you for providing this quality of work and professionalism from your company!"
Sincerely,

Sherri and Jason Collins
Wellington, MO

I want to take a moment to tell you that we have been very impressed with HearthMasters; all the way from the ease in setting up an appointment, to the customer service and knowledge of Ricky, to the detail of your estimates. Your standard of excellence is hands down the best yet we've seen in your industry. Thank you.

I feel compelled to rave about the work that was finished today. From the gentleman that performed the inspection through the team that accomplished the project, I could not be more impressed. Everyone was knowledgeable, professional, friendly, and extremely hard working.

I can't imagine a customer being happier or more satisfied than my wife and me.

I've already provided your contact info to another Brookside couple and they will be contacting you shortly.

Warmest regards,

Mark Ungashick
