Yes, we have a huge selection of in stock hardwoods. Our flooring specialists can help you select the type of hardwood flooring that will match both your personal style and the way you live.
Both hardwood options have their pros and cons. Engineered hardwood is typically considered more durable and humidity resistant, whereas solid hardwood is more easily sanded, but prone to warping in high humidity situations. For more information, talk with our flooring experts to discuss which options are best for your home and lifestyle.
Porcelain tile is harder than ceramic and offers greater design flexibility. Although both are made from clay, porcelain tile tends to be more refined and purified. However, ceramic tile is considered easier to cut. Consult your local Von Tobel flooring expert for more information on which flooring options best suit your home.

Wood burning fireplaces are a traditional option that require a steel chimney system with a damper. They tend to be an inefficient source of heat compared to modern options.
Vent free fireplaces are the most economical option and are 99% energy efficient. They are a great solution in older homes that do not have an existing vent, and they can be placed anywhere a gas line can be run. Many of our customers have swapped out their wood burning fireplaces with a vent free product and have been thrilled with the improved heating efficiency.
Direct vent fireplaces have an exhaust chimney system, but are sealed with tempered or ceramic glass to improve efficiency. They offer a realistic flame look and operate at 60 – 70% efficiency. Direct vent fireplaces are ideal for new construction.
Yes, they are. Logs used in vent free gas fireplaces are designed to produce a very hot flame that results in nearly complete fuel combustion, decreasing the levels of carbon monoxide and soot that are produced by other gas logs.
Yes, we do. We strongly recommend scheduling an annual fireplace inspection with our fireplace department. Our employees will clean the unit and inspect it for parts that may need to be replaced.
Often times, yes we can! Call or stop in to talk with one of our fireplace experts to learn what information we will need from you in order to search for the part.
