Recommended Customer Reviews

I have been trying to find the right words to describe my experience with Rudy's. What I come up with is Awesome!!! This is the first review I have ever written. If you want the best in all areas of gas fireplace work look no where else.

They completed my fireplace repair and it's working well. It was not cheap. The owner said the job with the technician and explain the billing to me but he never called back.

I got my gas fireplace in stalled by Rudy's, they were great with response, email and phone. They have a great variety of fireplaces to choose from, both very traditional and very modern. My only complaint was it was expensive, but either way I would do it again! Very happy with their work!

These guys ROCK!! Great customer service, same day repair, and reasonable price. We needed a new main shut off valve, YIKES!!
Tim was our tech; he was friendly, knowledgeable and clean while he worked. I also like that he suggested an upgraded shut off valve to be placed in the house not back into the ground. This will make it easier to operate if need be. The job was done quickly and professionally.
I actually found these guys here on YELP because we are new to town, glad I did. Because our new house is from the 60's we will need a lot more done in the future.... I will definitely call Rudy's again!!

These guys are great. I needed repair on a gas fireplace and I was coming up just for the weekend. Service guy, nice, polite and quick did that and then also fixed a nagging leaky faucet in one of the bathrooms. Highly recommend!

As usual you guys rock! This summer, you came 10 minutes after i called for a massive emergency at the restaurant (Murphy's Irish Pub) and you fixed the problem right away. This morning, the furnace circuit board broke and my house was freezing, we called you and I can't believe you already fixed it. Now it's warm and cozy again, I can't thank you enough!

We needed to replace the wood burning fireplace in the cottage we bought in Tahoe. Ugly thing and I felt like John Henry feeding the engine. We did research online regarding a gas fireplace and interviewed three retailers in Tahoe.
We were impresses with co-owner Linda, who took the time to listen to what our needs were and let us know she would research some options and get back to us. She did. We bought a kozyheat delano, and it heats our entire cottage. Keith, the man himself, came and installed. He was knowledgeable and worked with our contractor, Mike, to make it painless for us.
After it was installed, and here is the money shot, Keith followed up with us. We weren't crazy about the sticks and rocks media, and he proceded to order three other media kits and let us choose what we wanted! What?!? It gets better, when we asked Linda to order a back up remote, she noted that there was a new battery back up unit that the manufacturer now offered. If you think I'm going to tell you that she ordered it for us on our approval so it arrived with our back up remote, you would be absolutely correct.
I rarely write lengthy tributes to plumbers, but in this case, it is my pleasure.

Great service, trustworthy, honest, fair price. If you need a plumber, call this place. It's family owned and they do an excellent job with a great rate. We were up for the weekend and the shower did not work. We did not want to waste a day waiting for a plumber. I called a few different businesses out of the phone book and ended up using Rudy's. They had someone to our house within the hour and the repair was made by Tim fairly quickly. He was professional and had the shower going so we could enjoy our weekend away.

Tim did an excellent job repairing our broken furnace. Service was prompt and he was knowledgeable and professional. The price was very reasonable, considering we called after hours and he came out within 30 minutes. Thank you!

Had the New Owner from Rudy's come to my house in South Lake Tahoe and give me a bid on a new wood stove. He said he would get it in the mail to me soon. Never heard back from him. The verbal estimate he gave me was $2000 more than the 4 other estimates I received. Very unprofessional and I guess they don't need the business even though I was just up the street.
