We purchased our pellet stove insert at Dean's over 15 years ago and love it. They do a great job servicing it each year. If a part needs to be replaced or something fixed we count on their tech, Steve. He is very knowledgeable and friendly and alwayRead Full Review

The stone mason did an excellent job creating the fireplace that we wanted. His attention to detail and workmanship was excellent. We are satisfied with the whole experience from start to finish.

Dean's Stove & Spa is the first and only place you need to look for all your stove and outdoor living needs. As a stone and landscape construction company, our designs depend on reliable partners who can envision a project at its most advanced stage. When it comes to stoves and fireplaces, Dean's exceeds expectations every time with its vast inventory and inspiring looks that deliver high tech efficiency and value. I look for any excuse to hang out in their showroom - it's amazing in there, with incredible displays in every direction.

We purchased our fireplace insert from Dean's Stove and Spa to replace an existing insert that didn't do the job. The people in the showroom were helpful and knowledgable, and being able to see so many different products on display was a huge help. The installation went well and we have been enjoying burning in our new stove since. The only reason for not giving 5 stars is that we did not get a call from the installer prior to installation, but that was a minor inconvenience.

Comment from Dean's Stove & Spa:

Had Dean's Stove & Spa install a fireplace in our new home. While we had a picture of what we wanted, Dean's created a design which was exactly what we wanted. We love our new fireplace and could not be happier with the quality, service and professionalism demonstrated by Dean's Stove & Spa.

Very great customer service here! We purchased a wood-burning insert in 2016 and absolutely love it. Price was competitive, installation was quick and easy. They left no trace behind when finished with the install. They have come out for a follow-up inspection, as well as a yearly cleaning... again, without leaving any trace behind. I Highly recommend Dean's for any purchase they may be able to supply.

david JOHNSON

We could not have been happier with the service Deans has provided. From the moment we walked into the store, we received top notch professional service from everyone including sales, scheduling and service staff. The sales staff were not only knowledgeable, but very friendly, polite, and respectful. The teams that came to do the installation of our propane fireplace insert were equally professional; they did an outstanding job and cleaned everything up when they left. They did need to change installation date, but they were considerate and called in advance to reschedule. We needed a service call about a month after installation for minor soot build up. When we called the store, we were immediately given a date which was only days out from the date of our call. The service person was prompt and very knowledgeable.He promptly diagnosed and fixed the problem. All work was done within the original estimate.

I bought my Ravelli stove from Dean's Stove and Spa last year. The workers in the shop were extremely professional and helpful in picking the perfect stove for our home. I really liked the experience. However, the only downside is the installation cost. The worker took a check and did not explain the additional cost for piping. He had only used the smallest amount of pipe and there was nothing obstructing the view, it should not have cost any extra money. My husband was not home at the time, but said it should not have cost anything extra because it was such a simple installation. I was VERY disappointed that they charged so much money for instillation which could have been done by a family member of mine for free if I had asked. There was really nothing to the instillation. When I had called the store to discuss the bill for instillation no one wanted to hear it. They shrugged me off and did not care. Great selection and place to buy the stove. If you could install it yourself I would recommend that. If you have extra money, then go with them for instillation.

I called Deans because we had some problems with our gas insert. we were able to secure a very quick appointment. When Sean arrived, he was very professional and did a great job explaining the problem and solution. He was informative and quick and I highly recommend him for any service requests. Great job!

This is the second time using Deans Stove, when my house was first built and now to replace the one they installed 21 years ago. The quality of the stoves they sell is excellent as my first one lasted 21 years. The service they provide is second to none. This time I dealt with Deans son Sean and he will help continue the excellent service well into the future. I would recommend Deans to anyone that is in the market for a stove or any of the other products they sell.

I love my FirePlaceXtrordinaire Hybrid! Great job by the Dean's Stove and Spa Team on the installation. Dean's only sells top of the line products. The sales team walked me though all the available options and helped me chose the best stove for me and my family. I've had my FPX for a few years now and it's more than paid for itself. I would highly recommenld Dean's Stove and Spa to anyone in the future.
