We are extremely HAPPY with our two new fireplaces ! And Nile and Kenny who came to do the work were exceptional. We had read the revues and were impressed, then we called for a quote. It was expensive but as the City of Beaverton inspector said, « they did an incredible job in a difficult chimney structure.» My husband and I felt 100% comfortable having them in our home - I think it was 8 days. Hard workers, personable and they knew what they were doing. We actually looked forward to seeing them! They took such good care working in our home and always cleaned up. If you want it done right call them!

The Vanport team did a great job, under a tight timeline. Mike with the pre-inspection; Brittany & Desirae in the office; Duck & Derek with demolition & prep; Steve with the gas lines; Nile & Kenny with the modifications. I want to especially commend Nile with the tiles; it was not an easy pattern to lay, and it looked absolutely perfect. Only drawback? We're moving, and we didn't get to enjoy it! Want to commute to Ohio and work in our next house?

We had our yearly inspection on our fireplace done by Vanport fireplace and chimney and decided after consulting with them to have our fireplace removed since we no longer used it and it wasn’t strictly up to code any longer.(We have an old house.) everyone in the company was extremely friendly and professional and I was really impressed right off the bat with everyone I spoke to and dealt with. I wanted to write a glowing review of Nile and Kenny who were the two gentlemen who came over to do the work, after the inspection. They were consummate professionals. they were quick, efficient, and I felt I was in good hands as they did an absolutel...We had our yearly inspection on our fireplace done by Vanport fireplace and chimney and decided after consulting with them to have our fireplace removed since we no longer used it and it wasn’t strictly up to code any longer.(We have an old house.) everyone in the company was extremely friendly and professional and I was really impressed right off the bat with everyone I spoke to and dealt with.

You’d never know we even had a fireplace as everything was completely restored to showroom finish. The roof, everything! it’s as though the fireplace never existed here. I was really impressed by their expertise and knowhow and also their friendliness, and professional manner. I will definitely recommend anybody to Vanport for their inspection, cleaning and removal needs. Honestly, I’m actually gonna miss those guys! God bless them!
