Sales associate a bit nervous. Nice show room. Friendly. Do not do fireplace insert installs but farm out to some else

Short's did this beautiful stone surround for us, along with a new gas fireplace unit. Beginning to end, we had a great experience and we are thrilled with the outcome. Ben was great with planning and designing, offering insights and advice, answering all of our questions. Thomas, John, and Ken were a pleasure to have in the house during the construction process. They were very considerate and careful with our floors, walls, etc. Very nice and friendly. We love the new fireplace. It is exactly what I asked for.

Excellent workmanship and customer service. I highly recommend Short's stoves to anyone looking for a great propane or wood stove. From initial sales inquiry through installation, and final clean-up, Ken Short and his staff were absolutely wonderful to work with. I am looking to add another stove and will definitly go with Short's Stoves.

Great service and we are so happy with our Simplifire electric fireplace insert! The insert panel was on back order for months so they gave us the part from their floor model so we didn't have to wait. Thanks!

Mr. Short is knowledgeable, friendly, and honest. Highly recommend. So glad Fehls closed up shop. They were awful. Hope Short's sticks around!

Great experience from start to finish. Owner was knowledgeable and not at all pushy when we picked out our fireplace insert. But when John and Thomas came to install it I was blown away by their service. Very friendly and kind. They went out of their way to explain everything to me and were VERY conscious and thoughtful to not interrupt my kids' naps as much as possible. Just an all around good experience and now my fireplace looks beautiful!

Very helpful. Very nice displays. Was fooled by their electric fireplace. Loved it. Totally looked better than my gas fireplace.

The owners are very friendly and willing to spend enough time with you for you to make an informed buying decision. Their installation crew does excellent work and arrives with the tools and equipment to make a one day installation a reality.

If you didn't purchase your stove directly from them, don't contact them for any help if you need service. They'll be less than helpful.

Five years ago, after a long search for a fireplace to fit within our antique mantel Short's Stoves custom fit one to accommodate our needs. Since then we can't thank them enough for the excellent service and cleaning they provide. The two individuals who service our fireplace are very professional and personable.

Great place to get gas/pellet/wood stoves to suit both functional and cosmetic value. The owners are helpful and knowledgeable and are full service both pre and post sales.

We had a gas fireplace installed in 2010 by Short's Stoves. 5 years later still loving it and the service has been more than satisfactory. Any questions I just call them up and they instruct me over the phone, no charge!

Two summers ago, I paid this company $410.46 to clean my coal stove chimney and replace the stovepipe connecting to the chimney. Like an idiot, I was thinking local. I will never ever use this service again. One year in, the stovepipe they replaced is dripping rust all over. Never in 28 years of burning coal have I had a stovepipe rust like this. I can only assume shoddy materials.

I have never had to bust my a$$ cleaning rust off like I am now. You can't imagine how teed off I am, especially since I tried to stay more local rather than getting the original installer to do the work. It probably wouldn't be a reach to say that the chimney cleaning that went with it was most likely a crappy job also. I am thoroughly disgusted. So sorry that I did this.
