When we lived in our last house, we had Aspen Fireplace install a gas fireplace in our living room, where there was no fireplace. We did a lot of shopping around before we chose Aspen, but we liked the fact that they had a finish carpenter on staff so they could do the entire project for us. Their carpenter, Brian, was awesome! He not only built the mantel, but the glass-enclosed bookcases on either side of the fireplace. They suggested things we would not have thought of, like putting beaded glass in the glass doors. We arranged with a window installer (Hanawalt) to add two small windows on either side of the fireplace, so it looked like it had been there all along. We were very pleased with the result. We now live in another house, and once again we are working with Aspen on another fireplace project. We would highly recommend Aspen to anyone considering a fireplace installation or replacement of an existing one.
