Robb and Kate are the best "218 er's we have dealt with. Contacted them to get a quote for a wood burning insert. Robb showed up on schedule, measured went on the roof to inspect and we had a quote for two options the following day as promised. Work was completed yesterday and Robb sent a photo. It looks stunning! Could not be happier!

They did a great job for us in October 2018 first by identifying the issue, then getting the proper part on a 15 year old gas fireplace, and the final install. Exceptional. Support these folks, they know LP gas appliances, which is still used in this town. They know the meaning of the word service and the unit was not purchased from them originally. Highly recommended.

We went through a complete remodel and an addition of a second floor, and I can't express how satisfied and totally appreciative with the guidance and service I received in the style and functionality of the 3 fireplaces that were installed. A big thank you!
