The showroom

Thirty seconds in the showroom.

Every job on this page starts on the showroom floor on 75th Street in Downers Grove. See the electric models lit, compare gas, wood and pellet units in person, and leave with a plan from the people who will do the work, not a catalog and a phone number.

  • Gas, wood, electric and pellet fireplaces, inserts and stoves from nineteen brands
  • Mantels, surrounds, doors and gas log sets on the floor
  • The installers and technicians who will be in your home

What we do

One crew. One name to call.

From the first drawing to the yearly service, the people who sold you the fireplace are the people who install it, service it and inspect the chimney it vents through. Choose the one you need.

How it goes

From the showroom to the first fire.

  1. Step 1

    Start in the showroom, or on the phone

    Come in, or call (630) 241-1919. Tell us the room, the fuel and what you want the fireplace to do; everything we install is on the floor to see first.

    The visit

    A specialist measures the space, checks venting and clearances, and the quote comes from the crew that would carry it out.

  3. Step 3

    The work

    Our own installers and technicians do the job. Where a repair needs a permit, we file it ourselves.

  4. Step 4

    Afterwards

    The yearly service, the repairs and the chimney are ours to keep up. Call, or send the form, and we call back within one business day.

Where we go

Downers Grove, DuPage County and the western suburbs.

The showroom is on 75th Street in Downers Grove, and the crews work out of it: Naperville and Wheaton to the west, Hinsdale, Burr Ridge and Western Springs to the east, Lombard, Glen Ellyn and Elmhurst to the north, Bolingbrook and Woodridge to the south, and the towns between. The map shows the nearest of them; we go well past it, to Aurora, Plainfield, Joliet and Orland Park, across DuPage, Cook, Will, Kane and Kendall counties, and into Chicago for major installations. Each town page says what a visit there includes.

In their words

Building relationships through the work itself.

  • To begin with I was pleasantly surprised by the showroom. There was a good variety of fireplaces, ceramic logs, and all the things one can associate with fireplaces. Mr. Beaudy, the salesman, is very knowledgeable and he was able to quickly point us toward the kind of fireplace logs we were looking for. He also showed us how to safely light the fireplace and other safety considerations.

    Thomas G.Naperville, IL
  • Our 30+ year old fireplace needed quite a bit of TLC. The previous owners indiscriminantly mixed use of wood and gas logs. The whole set up sat dormant for 4-5 years, too. Hudson helped explain step by step how we could get it back in perfect working order, and even helped me out on cost by showing me what I could do myself. One thing I really liked…safety is their #1 priority. Great work guys

    Do you service fireplaces you did not sell?

    Yes. Our technicians service every make of gas fireplace, and the chimney work does not depend on who installed the fireplace or when. Tell us the make if you know it; a photo of the unit helps.

    Gas, wood, electric and pellet: fireplaces, inserts and stoves from the nineteen brands on our showroom floor, installed by our own licensed installers with the gas line and the venting planned together.

    Is the in-home estimate free?

    Yes. A specialist measures your space, checks venting and clearances, and leaves you a written quote. Free, no obligation, across DuPage, Cook, Will, Kane and Kendall counties.

    Who pulls the permit?

    Where a repair needs a permit, we file it ourselves. The crew that does the work handles the paperwork that comes with it.

    How soon can you come out?

    Call (630) 241-1919 or send the form on this page. We call back within one business day and set the visit from there.
