Past Customers in Southwest PA
Sandra Stanley2025-05-15Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have a Regency gas insert which suddenly stopped working, just before house going on market to sell. Called on Saturday and team was out Monday morning. Figured out problem in less than 5 minutes and didn't even charge for the visit! Great support! Karin Minder2025-04-10Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was very happy with Ed's Woodshed. I had some problems and questions about existing gas logs I had. I was leery about using them. I drove out to their location last week and they scheduled to come out yesterday. Jim came out, installed the logs to their proper position and got my remote working. He answered all questions I had about them. I felt comfortable dealing with them and felt comfortable with what Jim told me. I can finally use my fireplace. If I ever have to replace them or have a need for service, I would definitely call Ed's Woodshed. Excellent customer service by Jim and his wife. Thank you for relieving some anxiety in my life. Jonathan Glory2025-02-27Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Small Business, that is family owned in the heart of the South Hills. Bringing indoor heat to customers and jobs to the area. Jon Pendleton2025-02-09Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A wholesome family owned business in the South Hills of Pittsburgh. David Brown2024-12-01Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I called in to get some help with my fireplace getting ignited. They were able to get a service rep to help me over the phone without scheduling a in-home visit. Customer service at is finest. 5 stars… John Wick2024-11-23Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. These guys are awesome and professional. Installed a wood stove insert and relined my chimney for a fraction of the cost of the “bigger players” because they actually know what they’re doing and are not subcontracting work. You’re in better hands with these guys because they actually do the work unlike most of the area’s fireplace dealer “competition”. They even helped my neighbor fix his gas fireplace and have it run like new again on the way out from the intense installation job. Highly recommend! Corey Bonnell2024-10-20Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jim and Tracy were helpful in selecting the right model of Regency gas insert to replace the inefficient gas logs in our family room. Very quick communication and responses both by phone and email. Installation by Donnell and his team was smooth and finished in a few hours. We are very happy with the level of service provided by Ed’s Woodshed and would readily recommend them. Jan Gazza2024-10-18Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had bought 2 exceptional gas fireplaces over 20 years ago. We recently could not get the larger unit started and Jim the owner came out today. He was prompt, courteous and got our gas valve working and saved us $400.He did say it’s very odd for the valve to go bad. If this happens again we will have to replace it which is fine. I would highly recommend this privately owned business and support locals!
