    In August 2022 I began the process of purchasing a wood burning insert from The Fireplace Factory. They sent people to measure my existing fireplace to know which size insert we'd need to buy. Around Labor Day installers came to my home around 9:30 AM and did not leave until my husband got home from work sometime between 6 and 6:30 PM. The job was not completed. The people who came had a flat tire and reached out to their people for support. Someone did come to bring them a tool so they could fix it themselves.The installers told me that they did not have what they needed to fix their tire after all. By 3:30 I insisted that the installers stop to eat some lunch. (I made sandwiches.) Then I called the project manager, ***** and asked for help on their behalf. ***** told me that everything was fine and they were fine. I told him they were not ok and needed help. ***** was no help. ***** called me about an hour later to tell me that the job was not going to be finished that day. I was clear with him that I would not take off work for this project; we'd need to schedule when I am off (the next holiday).The installers still could not leave. They could not access the tool under their truck. I had to ask my neighbor for assistance and he loaned them bolt cutters. Since I did not loom over the installers, my neighbor told me what he observed in my driveway. In an effort to to work with the tire, the man was pushing on it so vigorously that it could have toppled the truck over while it was lifted up on the ***** It was extremely fortunate that no one got hurt in my driveway.Since then, it has been a series of unfortunate events. Around Thanksgiving, I checked in only to learn that they had marked my project as having been completed.I'm now (Jan.) waiting for one last part, again, (that no one noticed was missing) and they changed my appointment and rescheduled it for a day that does not work for me. They are not easy to reach by phone.

    I had the unfortunate displeasure of dealing with the Fireplace Factory in Bohemia, and I feel compelled to warn potential customers about their unsavory and unprofessional practices. This establishment's conduct is nothing short of a disgrace, and my experience with them has been a regrettable nightmare.My ordeal began when I encountered a sleazy sales representative named ****, who promised that signing a contract with the Fireplace Factory would not be final until they had taken measurements and provided a final price. It seemed like a reasonable enough assurance at the time, but what followed was nothing short of a bait-and-switch tactic.Multiple miscommunications and a series of rude text messages later, the issue to the so-called owner, ****. To my dismay, **** proved to be just as untrustworthy as ****. Instead of addressing the issue professionally, he brazenly declared that he would not honor the referral discount he had initially promised. He argued that the price he was offering was as low as he was willing to go and that if I was dissatisfied, he would refund my money.For a company as unprofessional and shady as the Fireplace Factory, there is absolutely no justification for demanding such personal information.This entire experience has been nothing short of disgusting and far below any reasonable standard of expectation for a business. It is clear that the Fireplace Factory in Bohemia lacks integrity, professionalism, and common courtesy. I implore you, potential customers, to avoid this unscrupulous establishment. Do not under any circumstances give them a single ***** upfront or sign any documents until you have received a final quote. Your hard-earned money and peace of mind deserve far better than what this company has to offer.

    Hey ******, ** really sorry you feel this way, but anyone can see from our other reviews that we run an honest, reputable company. Obviously, it didnt work out, and we refunded your money with absolutely no hassle. So lets just move on peaceably without trying to hurt each other OK?And the reason we requested a copy of your drivers license for the refund, is because your boyfriend said that you stole his credit card to leave the deposit, so at that point, we really didnt know who we were dealing with or who had authority to use the credit card.
