From the moment we walked in, we were immediately impressed with the knowledge, honesty and non…read moresalesy approach of Fireplace by Design. On top of this, their bid for a higher quality and larger fireplace was nearly $2,000 less than one of their major competitors (Claxton). Compliance with building codes, gas line requirements and attention to detail was outstanding. The day our unit was installed the staff were friendly, focused and again very knowledgeable. This business will do tear out of old fireplace units if needed which some businesses we visited would not. I cannot say enough positive things about John and the Fireplace by design team. My opinion is they are the best in town.

We purchased our 2 gas stoves back in about 2002, replacing our wood burning stove, and have never…read moreregretted our purchase. They have kept our house warm during power outages, since you can turn them off and on with remote, and not needing electricity, which is so handy to do so from the easy chair. We have counted on them for help, a couple of times/ my fault on both times, you do not leave the door open as I did thinking during the outage we would get more heat, as you can melt the knobs./ Yep, common sense not to do that. But the guys helped me and back to normal. The stoves are great. The guys let us browse around and did not pressure type sales, just answered questions and gave info. They installed it, cleaned up, explained how to use it, and gave great service. They have a huge selection for every style to choose from, little old fashion to modern and sleek. You can enjoy yours and know you can count on good service too.

Scott did a great job figuring it out. He was also very respectful of my home, making sure to clean up after himself and leaving the area even better than he found it. Overall, I am extremely satisfied with the service I received from this company. They were professional, efficient, and took great care to ensure that everything was done right. Scott's expertise and attention to detail really shone through in the final product, and I couldn't be happier with my new wood stove. If you're in the market for a wood stove installation, I highly recommend giving this company a call. They truly exceeded my expectations and I am confident that they will do the same for you. Thanks again to Dan, Scott, Mellissa and Emily for a job well done.

As a Nebraska transplant, I don't think I will ever get used to the cold winters. Coming from the…read moreSouth, anything below 70 is chilly. Well, I was pretty stoked about the wood-burning stove in our house. I decided to schedule a maintenance/chimney sweep for the stove, and had heard good things about Top Hat. It takes a little bit of patience to make initial contact with Top Hat. I didn't use their online tool for contact but rather called Steven and left a voicemail. It took him a few days to get back to me, which is understandable for a small business serving such a big area. Since I didn't use the online contact tool, I don't know if they would be quicker or not. Additionally, I'm sure this time of year is exceptionally busy with people preparing for winter. Scheduling an appointment for an inspection was incredibly easy. Top Hat was able to provide a 1-hour time slot for when they would arrive. Such a minimal time limit is exceptionally rare for any kind of contract/maintenance/repair work. Heck, even the cable and internet companies require about 4 hours of availability. Steven and his assistant were very professional, and worked quickly. Steven answered all of my questions, even though I know some of them were ignorant concerning fireplaces/stoves. Even though our wood stove is not up to code, I feel confident that Top Hat would do a fantastic job renovating the area (check their website for photos). He even provided a loose estimate of what kind of repairs we would need. Price for service was exactly as stated on the phone, and if/when we decide to make changes to our wood stove, we will be contacting Top Hat.
