Testimonials

On 11/13/2026 TK & Carrie had this to say:
We love our new gas log fireplaces! Jon and Doug were professional, friendly, and respectful of our home and family throughout the conversion. When the installation threw them a few curveballs, they worked through each one with patience, good humor, and remarkably few four-letter words. They gave us a warm, inviting place to gather with family and friends this winter and for years to come. We’re grateful for their craftsmanship and the care they showed in our home. Jon and Doug have our highest recommendation! Testimonial written by TK & Carrie on this site.

Thank you Grate Balls Afire! Vicki drove to my house in Southern Indiana and fixed my 27 year old gas fireplace that had been broken for about 10 years! Vicki Is professional and an amazing problem solver! It was not an easy fix but she got it working. She even sprayed heat resistant paint on a chipped log and I can’t even tell it was ever chipped! I can’t recommend Vicki and Grate Balls Afire enough for fixing my old gas fire place! I also love my new remote control, so much easier to use than messing with the controls on the fireplace set!
