Vinje and Son's just saved Christmas for us! Our heat stopped working today and after calling Vinje's they talked me through a simple few steps and I got or furnace working again! No money spent! That is integrity! They easily could have used our desperate position to charge us extra, instead they just helped us.

Awesome place! First time in. My ducting diy was solved in 20 minutes on the lunch hour. I had my dimensions for my issue and they built me a quick cap that they just didn't happen to have in stock at the moment. First rate establishment and service! Did I mention I also had to wait five minutes for the fella in front of me to get his custom order in! I'll be back when it's another sheet metal issue.that's for sure.
