Dan was great to work with. He talked us through the process, gave us a fair quote, and installation was quick and painless. He showed up when he said he would, the craftsmanship was top notch and we are thrilled with the result. Would recommend to anyone wanting a fireplace.
10/10 Would recommend Nova Fireplace and Stove!I wanted to replace our 25 year old wood burning fireplace with a linear gas one, and to make a feature wall around it flanked by cabinets and floating shelves. I met with four different contractors to get estimates. Most were comparable in cost, some recommended certain fireplaces and stone that I needed to purchase for them to install, some seemed to know more than others. I mentally decided on a contractor and began my search for the gas fireplace I wanted which led me to Nova Fireplace & Stove. I spoke with Dan and explained what I needed and what my plan was. He gave me recommendations, answered all of my questions in so much detail, and provided additional information for me to consider. He also mentioned that he could do the construction and provide the ledgestone I wanted, as he is an authorized dealer of the brand I had been looking at. Even though I had another contractor in mind for the job, I didnt think it would hurt to have one more person come out to bid. Dan arrived on time to measure and get the scope of the project. He knew SO MUCH and brought attention to many things the other contractors failed to mention or even consider. From Dan, we learned of different venting options best suited for our needs, and units with Cool Touch Wall Technology - eliminating the need for a mantle (which I didnt want but was told I had to have) - to protect the TV hanging above. My husband and I decided then and there that Dan was definitely the man for the job; he was by far the most experienced and qualified. Dan took care of permits, scheduling inspections, and checked in with us often to keep us up to speed and in the loop. Dan is clearly a sought after and busy man, but he worked his schedule around the other contractors involved (electric, A/V, painter, cabinet maker). Once the project was underway, Dan was unbelievably proficient and detail-oriented. The old fireplace and surrounding brick was removed, new pipes and vents were placed, and the framing and cement board for the 60 Regency gas fireplace was installed. Dans measurements to my specifications were SPOT ON, perfectly level, and he did not cut any corners in the building of the frame for stability. That thing was SOLID! Dan instructed his apprentices during the course of the project and he expects nothing less than perfection. Several times I overheard him telling his guys to be mindful of this or that, and to do things a certain way so as not to waste any materials (even though there was plenty extra). Everyone was so professional, pleasant, and respectful of our home. Dan and his crew were always on time, great at keeping the project moving, cleaning up as they went, and they ran like a well oiled dream team machine! The next task was hanging the provided shelves, and installing the cabinets - cutting and fitting them for the various access panels. Ill spare the details, but Dan went WELL ABOVE AND BEYOND for us here! The final phase was stacking the stone and providing instruction on how to use our gorgeous new fireplace. Dan completed our renovation as an utmost professional and a total champ - battling unforeseeable COVID setbacks, physically working in the snow, and even welcoming his new baby! He is an absolute expert at all things fireplaces, and is a pro at SO many things beyond his specialty. He even pointed out some potential issues/hazards he came across in our home that had nothing to do with the project, and told us how to easily rectify them with no benefit to him. If I could hire Dan and his crew to do all future projects in our home, I would; I dont think I could find anyone else who works with such precision and ethic. This room has been transformed exactly as I had envisioned. We spend so much more time here now, toasty warm, in awe, and absolutely confident that we really did find the best man for the job.
Dan and his team were terrific. We purchased a gas insert and fire table from Dan. They take pride in their work and it shows. Dan was straight forward and honest with everything and his attention to detail was amazing. I was impressed that not only is Dan the owner he does the work with his team, which speaks volumes to his work ethic and pride in his work. We are extremely happy and would absolutely recommend and have recommended him and his team!
Dan and his team were absolutely phenomenal from start to finish. They take work ethic and dedication to a whole new level. We called a handful of places around NoVA and no one was able to compete with his prices or even do the job from start to finish, which is invaluable in itself given COVID and not wanting a bunch of contractors in your home for one job. Dan was very honest and transparent with everything and his attention to detail was impeccable. The team was extremely respectful, hard working and fun to be around. It’s rare to find service of with such honesty and professionalism. We are insanely happy and proud with the end product which was no easy task given the slant of the ceiling and unevenness of the flooring. We are extremely happy and absolutely recommend him and his team!
Dan and his team are solid, top-notch. Exceedingly fair prices, excellent service and customer-relation skills. These guys go to 11.
We had a great experience with Dan and the team at Nova Fireplaces. In their store, the staff was very knowledgeable and obviously wanted to find the best solution for us, not just sell us something. Their prices were competitive. And in the field, Dan managed the process of installation, county inspections, and coordination with the gas supplier in an excellent manner. The whole process was efficient, and we were quickly enjoying our new gas logs. Thanks guys!
I typically dont bother writing reviews, but am making an exception for Dan Kulig and Nova Fireplace. He inspected and cleaned our gas fireplace this morning: arrived when he said he would, did a thorough job, gave me some tips about maintenance, and was clean and efficient throughout the process. Their prices are comparable or slightly less than others we checked. I told him I would recommend him to anyone who needs fireplace work. RJ
Excellent sales and customer service! Very happy with our product and support. Highly recommended.
Dan came out and inspected our pellet stove that we had problems with all last winter. He pointed out all the changes that we needed to make and probably saved us from an impending house fire since we were using the wrong vent pipe!! (OOPS!) Great company, great service and will definitely use them again!
We wanted to convert a wood burning fireplace to propane. Visited Nova Fireplaces office and learned a lot about fireplace inserts vented and non. Dan came to our home and measured and responded with a timely quote. We had another company also quote. Nova Fireplace was selected because Dan showed he had the experience, quality equipment and had the Prince William County inspector visit our home to inspect the gas line installation. The other company said it wasn’t needed. Today Nova Fireplace installed the insert and the installation and training was flawless.Use this company.Ronald M. Van HornMontclair, VA
Daniel and the Nova team took care of all our needs. The Regency fireplace insert looks great and keeps us warm on the cold winter nights. Thanks Nova!
We had our wood burning fireplace turned into gas. Dan is amazing to work with. Communicates every step and kept me up to date of where we were in the project. He even finished ahead of schedule!
