Mantels Standing Proudly and Filled With Character
In today's modern home, a fire feature is all about establishing style and character. These indulgences serve a functional purpose – providing additional warmth, or even relied upon as a backup heating source – but, their primary function is that of a work of art. Fireplaces create an atmosphere to be consumed, comfort absorbed by your marrow and eyes. They're prominence is to be admired. And often times, the addition of a fireplace ties the entire home together. We understand this, and craft each fire feature to boldly accentuate your personal taste.
Efficient, Clean-Burning, and In Any Room of Your Home
The vast majority of fireplaces that we install are gas. There’s lots of great reasons; namely they require little maintenance and they’re affordable to purchase and operate. Gas fireplaces can be installed virtually anywhere with both vented and ventless options, or retrofitted into wood-burning fireplaces to take advantage of existing chimneys. Gas fireplaces are also environmentally friendly, something to consider on poor air quality days or in areas that restrict wood-burning.

What you need to know about wood-burning stoves.
All wood-burning heat sources are not the same. Likewise, all wood-burning stoves are not the same. Your grandpa’s chuckwagon cast iron stove and traditional open-faced wood-burning fireplaces are becoming rare in modern Colorado homes. There are many reasons for this – inefficiency, pollution, maintenance, fire danger – but for those seeking the comforting crackle of a woodfire, consider a modern wood-burning stove.
