Who we are

Fireplace Shopping, Made Simple

Buying a fireplace is confusing. You do it once every 15 or 20 years, the jargon runs thick, and the flame you pick is the flame you’ll look at for the next 15+ winters—so it has to be right.

Every home in our community should be warm and comfortable, regardless of the weather outside. That belief is why this shop runs as a problem-solver, not a pusher.

We’ve anchored the same corner of Waterloo since 2001, with 28 years of fireplace service experience, the most burning displays in town, and the brands we trust—Mendota, Kozy Heat, Jøtul, Pacific Energy, Blaze King—lit on the floor. We still do the service work ourselves, and when you’re ready, our trusted installation partners handle the install with our team as your point of contact from the first visit to the first fire.

Thousands of Cedar Valley homes later, that’s how we earned 4.7 stars on Google—and we’d like to help you next.
