Why Call J. Blanton for Gas Fireplace Service
Licensed gas work and an honest diagnosis.
1. Test First
Only replace what failed.
2. A Flat Price
First.
3. Leak-Tested
Every fitting.
Masonry, Insert or Direct-Vent?
Lincoln Park homes have all three. Older greystones and frame houses often have masonry fireplaces, some converted to gas logs. Many renovations added direct-vent units that vent through a wall and use a sealed glass front. Others have inserts that fit inside an old firebox. Each has different parts and service needs. Tell us what you have, or show us a photo, and we'll come prepared.
What Affects the Price of Fireplace Work
A service visit is simple. A failed part depends on the fireplace type and model. Running gas to a masonry fireplace depends on the route through the building. We diagnose and quote a flat price.

Shortly after Alex left a gas leak from an old valve on the piping to the tank occurred and needed to be replaced, Alex came back same night and fixed it. This is a 5-Star company."
