Why us
Why Esko Homeowners Hire Us
Esko homeowners tend to ask the right questions about heat output and serviceability — and to hire on referral. We earn that referral with a clean install and a phone you can actually reach in February.
Esko's housing leans toward mid-century single-family with a layer of newer construction along the highway corridor. Lots of homes with existing wood fireplaces or stoves — solid candidates for high-efficiency wood inserts or pellet stoves. Newer builds tend toward direct-vent gas with stone or shiplap surrounds.
If you live near St. Louis River, Jay Cooke State Park (nearby), or Munger Trail — you're in our normal install territory. Your Esko project is handled by our own in-house team — gas line, electrical, framing, finish, and stone or tile work. We've been doing it this way since 1944.

Permits & Jurisdiction
Carlton County issues building permits for unincorporated Esko/Thomson Township. We handle the paperwork, schedule the inspection, and coordinate with the county — same low-friction process we run in Cloquet a few miles south.

What our customers say
Real Reviews from Northern Minnesota
"There was never any pressure or any attempt to upsell me. Both installers (Matt & Nick) did a fantastic job — I must've seen them level the vent and stove five times. I don't think anybody can compare in terms of service and genuine people."
"Was very impressed with everything, and the stove we decided on has been an excellent replacement for our old one. The installation was quick and the installers did amazing work. After they were done, they cleaned up everything. Would recommend them."
"Excellent — service tech Paul Brunner was especially helpful and knowledgeable. Highly recommend the team at The Fireplace Corner."
