Fireplace hearth technology has evolved dramatically over the years, with new fire display formats and safety protocols improving their safety and ease-of-use. This company’s product lines are also far cleaner both for the home and the environment than the products they replace.
“Having a good reputation in this business particularly is important because you're dealing with fire in somebody's home. You have to install the product correctly based on manufacturer specifications, and we take that very seriously. It could lead to catastrophic issues if done wrong. We're very big on training our employees with that in mind.” -Owner
