 Trustindex 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!

 Trustindex 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.

 Trustindex 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!

 Trustindex 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.

 Trustindex 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!
