They do good work but they are ridiculously overpriced. They charge a flat rate to fix my gas fireplace (~$365) which had a pilot light problem plus a zone charge (~$65) since Im in Ann Arbor. While they did tell me this up front, and I agreed, I felt totally taken advantage of when the service person fixed my problem in 5 minutes by tightening a screw all for the low price of $430. Im going to have to find someone else moving forward.
