Did your vacation plans get foiled this year? Don’t fret! Make your home where you want to be! We all have been spending a lot of time in our homes this spring; so for summer, why not improve the centerpiece where your family gathers? Whether inside or out, we’ll show you why a new hearth appliance or outdoor fire pit can make your home seem like a whole new place!
Is the fireplace in your family room dull, inefficient, or doesn’t burn the fuel you wish it did? Give your family and your home the gift of a beautiful hearth appliance. Instead of booking a vacation this year, act now to get a new fireplace, stove, or insert and be ready for the cooler weather. It will be like a bed & breakfast getaway in your own home!
You don’t have to live with an ugly, outdated, dirty, drafty fireplace. You don’t have to compromise between a new fireplace that is either beautiful or warm, you can have it all! There are so many attractive AND efficient options for heating your home and updating your style. We specialize in high efficiency appliances and doing “mini-remodels” in homes just like yours. We are your expert resource for updating your fireplace, stove, or insert and finishing it with beautiful new stonework or tile. We can also work with your remodeler if you’re doing a larger project and want something better than a builder-grade fireplace for your forever home.
You can even have a fireplace where there isn’t one already- we can put a fireplace or stove on any existing wall! The newest trends feature fireplaces where you may not expect, such as your kitchen or bedroom; in addition to a fireplace in more traditional spaces such as a living room. Imagine getting ready for the day on a cool autumn morning, but you’re perfectly comfortable because you have a beautiful and efficient see-through fireplace burning between your bedroom and bathroom. Your home doesn’t have to be brand new or custom-built to have a fireplace anywhere you want one!
Gas-fueled appliances are by far the most popular choice for new fireplaces, and they are easy to integrate into any room. For gas fireplaces and stoves, the venting can even be as simple as straight out through the wall, minimizing disturbance to your home while safely venting the combustion by-products outside. Also, the clearances to combustibles are built into the unit itself, called zero-clearance, so you know your home will be warm, and most importantly, safe.
Did you know you can get a new wood burning fireplace? There is a common misconception that new fireplaces aren’t allowed to be wood burning, but it’s just not true. Today, wood burning fireplaces, stoves, and inserts are allowed in the Denver Metro area as long as they are EPA-Certified. The certification by the EPA means the wood burning appliance meets stringent pollution and efficiency standards, so today’s wood burning appliances are better for air quality and heating your home. Wood burning fireplaces and inserts are also considered zero-clearance, the clearances are built into the unit, so choosing a place in your home for your new wood burning fireplace is a breeze.
Your new zero-clearance fireplace can be installed into framing that creates a bump-in structure into any room. Adding a vertical design element for the fireplace within a room can create a focal point for a television, built-in bookshelves, or even the classic look of floor-to-ceiling stone. You can complement the existing style of your home by including other design elements around your new fireplace, such as a hearth extension, mantle, stonework, or sleek modern tile. You can see dozens of examples on our website’s portfolio page.
If your home is already as cozy as you’d like and you don’t want to give up any living space to your new fireplace and hearth, we can usually build bump-out framing on the exterior of your home so your new fireplace doesn’t protrude into your living area. This is popular for those who want a seamless look of the fireplace set into the wall. With this option, you get all the safety features and benefits of having a warm and beautiful new fireplace while preserving the entire living environment of your room, balancing your need for space with your need for warmth.
If you already have a fireplace in your home, we can improve it. It’s not as complicated as it may seem to remove an old, inefficient factory-built fireplace and replace it with a new, beautiful and powerful heater. If you wish to update your old masonry fireplace, there are many design options for putting an insert into the old firebox that will take your fireplace from outdated and ugly to efficient and elegant. We also can custom-size doors in a nearly infinite combination of metal finishes, shapes, door styles, glass tint, and more.
Are you already working on improving parts of your home this summer? Have updates to your kitchen or living room made your fireplace look even older and duller than ever? Your fireplace is the centerpiece of your home; it should reflect the style of the rest of your home. Now is the time for improvements to your fireplace so you’ll be ready when the cool weather comes again.
If you’re exhausted with trying to push back the four walls of your home, take your staycation outside! Add a fire pit to your deck or patio and it will be like adding another room to your home. An outdoor living space increases your home’s value and your family’s mental well-being. The most rewarding way to start creating your outdoor space is to start designing your new fire pit! When the nights get cool or autumn sets in, you don’t have to abandon your beautiful backyard, especially if you’ve put so much effort into updating or mitigating it this summer.
