The Final Four Signs Your Hearth Needs Repairs

Monday, March 3rd, 2025

Your fireplace is an essential part of your home. It not only keeps you and your family warm on cold nights, but it gives your home a beauty that can only be from a natural fire. It emits the mood lighting that can make a board game night or a date night go the extra mile.

But fireplaces, just like other parts of our homes, are in need of repairs when something goes wrong. Maintenance on a regular basis can help to identify some of these problems, but many customers don’t get a professional assessment regularly, so their fireplace could be in disrepair already.

So, let’s talk about some signs that show a fireplace is in need of repair. Then, you can call our team for a fast and effective fix.

The Coziest Upgrade for Your Home This Holiday Season

Monday, December 23rd, 2024

Sometimes all the attention during the holiday season can fall on our heating systems–which makes perfect sense. They keep us warm and cozy so we can spend time with our families and the people we love. But they usually work far and away from where we can see them, essentially being invisible in the best of cases.

Fireplaces are a different story. They provide beautiful ambiance that is irreplaceable during the holiday season. Nothing quite feels as cozy and comforting as a blazing fire in the fireplace on a chilly evening during the holiday season. Our team is working hard to make that a reality for any homeowner who wants it.

Does your fireplace need to be fixed up? Or perhaps you’d like to install a new stove that can function similarly? Then schedule fireplace services in Bellingham, WA with our team. For the holidays, we’re offering $550 a fireplace, insert, or stove of your choice, plus 12 months of no payments, no interest. Call us to find out more.

Is Your Fireplace Ready for the Winter?

Monday, October 7th, 2024

Fireplaces can be an incredible addition to your home when our chilly fall, winter, and spring set in. Those long nights are made warm and cozy with the family when you’ve got a nice, hot fire to sit around. All of a sudden, movie night or screen time seems to pale in comparison to sitting around the fire and enjoying each other’s company.

Unfortunately, fireplaces can get unsafe when they sit for a very long time and are not addressed either with repairs or routine maintenance. Your fireplace might have gathered dust, it mighty be coated in soot that’s flammable, and it might even have a clogged vent that can lead to safety concerns.

Our team is full of licensed professionals who can help you with a quick fireplace check-up, or more comprehensive fireplace service in Burlington.

But one thing is clear, it’s fireplace time and you definitely don’t want to leave yours gathering dust this winter!
