Most Houston fireplaces are gas, and most sit idle through a long, hot summer. Then the first cool front arrives and the pilot will not light. Our techs diagnose yours on the spot, fix it with real parts, and leave it lighting first try.
Your information is kept private and used only for your fireplace service request.
From the first-front no-light call to a brand-new outdoor fire feature, these are the six fireplace services Houston homeowners book with us.

Install & Replace
Fireplace Installation
A new gas fireplace or an outdoor fire feature, done right: sizing, venting, gas and electric runs, finishing — one crew, start to first fire. In Houston that often means a gas insert in an existing firebox, or a fireplace out on the patio.

A fireplace in Houston is not fighting a long winter — it is fighting long hot summers sitting unused, dust and insects in the burner, storm debris, and the occasional hard freeze. This is what we find here, and what we check on every visit.
Most winters here are mild, which is exactly why a hard freeze catches Houston homes off guard. Poorly protected installs and tired valves fail when the unit is needed most, and a fireplace that has not been serviced in years rarely survives the coldest week. A fall inspection finds the weak points first.
Patios in Houston run for much of the year, and outdoor fireplaces and fire pits are a major part of that life. Outdoor burners take sun, rain and dust directly, so igniters corrode and valves stiffen faster outdoors. We install, service and repair outdoor features as a specialty, not an afterthought.
Long hot summers dry out door gaskets and bake mineral film onto gas fireplace glass in Houston. A tired gasket leaks exhaust past the door, and fogged glass only gets worse the longer it sits. We strip the film, test the seal, and replace gaskets before they become a safety issue.
Plenty of Houston buyers inherit a gas fireplace they know nothing about — no service history, no idea when it last ran safely. New construction is no guarantee either, with dust left in burners from the build. An inspection before the first fire tells you exactly what you have.

Same-day service, free estimates, licensed & insured — and a fireplace that lights when you click the remote.
Yes, do not keep trying to light it. Nest material blocks burner ports and pilot openings, which distorts the flame, delays ignition and can leave unburned gas in the firebox. We shut the unit down, clear the nesting safely, clean the ports and pilot, then test-fire it before it goes back into service.
If your fireplace has been serviced, a freeze is when it earns its keep. If it has not run in months, test it before the cold arrives — idle units often fail on the coldest night, when every company in Harris County is booked solid. A service visit ahead of the freeze beats an emergency call during it.
Yes — outdoor fireplaces and fire pits are one of the most common installs we do in Houston. We handle sizing, placement, venting where it applies, gas and electric runs, and finishing, with one crew from start to first fire. Start with a free estimate and we will walk the space with you.
Yes. Gas inserts and log sets go into existing fireboxes and are the most common conversion in newer Houston homes — sealed, remote-lit and far easier to live with than hauling wood. We measure your firebox, check the flue and venting, and walk through the options on a free estimate before any work starts.
Leave the fireplace off, and if the smell is strong, leave the house and call your gas utility or 911 first. Once it is safe, call us. A faint odor at startup can be a delayed ignition, but it can also be a leaking valve or connector, and that gets fixed before the fireplace is used again.
No — and be wary of anyone who does. Every fireplace fails differently, so a phone price is a guess that changes at your door. Our estimates are free: a tech looks at the actual problem, then gives you one clear price before any work starts.
