If you are considering investing in a high quality fireplace, firepit, or grill, and you are unsure of what to buy and where to buy, take some time to visit Brassworks. Jeff is a rare and valuable combination of experience, patience and a general care, curiosity and passion for his client’s projects. We were working on our outdoor patio and thought we wanted an outdoor fireplace. After a visit to the showroom and a discussion with Jeff, he was able to help us realize what we really needed was a firepit vs. a fireplace. It was less expensive than our original plan and turned out amazing – exactly what we wanted. And yes, we poked around other places to buy because we like to be thorough. As expected, we experienced the typical response from these other places - not excited to help us and not very knowledgeable. So, felt good buying from Brassworks – they earned an appreciated our business. A month later, we had a question, and rather than a quick answer over the phone, Jeff volunteered to drive to our home, and came down on a Friday night after hours. We are thrilled with our experience and the results of our project. You will be too.

Andrew (sales person) was incredible. He really took the time to explain the differences between all the different types of fireplace glass doors, how best to match up to our existing fireplace, and showed a range of price options. They were so incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. We can’t wait to get new doors and update our fireplace. Thank you.

We had a wonderful experience with Brassworks. The layout of our home made for a difficult installation. However, Brassworks employees not only made it possible, but stress free as well. From the initial visit to the showroom, to the home inspection and finally the installation, my wife and I were very pleased with the professionalism of the staff. They patiently answered all our questions and took care of all the details from start to finish. We had visited several fireplace companies and are really happy we picked Brassworks. We would recommend them to anyone!!

I was recently thrilled with the quick response time here. We have ordered multiple products from Brassworks and I needed help with a remote/controller that wasnt responding to and performing the correct on/off functions for our gas fireplace. I emailed a description of my issue to Brassworks and within two hours I had my problem completely resolved. It was a not-so-obvious battery replacement followed by a pairing of the fireplace remote to the controller that the Brassworks service team walked me through. Very professional, friendly and fast response. Much appreciated!

Wonderful experience. The employees were professional and knowledgeable. The wood stove I had inserted into my preexisting fireplace looks beautiful and was a very reasonable price.

High quality gas insert fireplace installed. They have everything across a wide selection of price ranges. They were able to get something to work for me despite my limited budget. Unit works great. One small issue I had they were able to come out in the next two days to help fix it.

Recently the blower on my Fireplace Xtrordinair wood fireplace unit stopped working. The fireplace unit is 12 yrs old. I reached out to Brassworks as an authorized dealer to book a service appointment. Jeff talked me though a number of basic steps to determine the possible cause of the issue. With Jeffs help, I was able to determine the issue and quickly resolve. Jeffs customer service was second to none! I would highly recommend Jeff and Brassworks.

We ended up buying a gas fireplace insert from them and the entire experience was excellent. We visited 5 showrooms around RI and MA, but nobody compared to Dave McCarthy and Brassworks. He took his time to give us a relaxed informal presentation of all the features and pros and cons of the various units and answered all questions to our full understanding.Everyone associated with the company, including the installer and subcontractors, were excellent to deal with and very professional. The unit we bought looks great and operates as advertised to our full satisfaction. We are very happy with our decision and highly recommend them.

Lm a 69 year old man that has experienced a lot over my lifetime and working with the owner Jeff Nelson is absolutely one of the best experiences of my life. The friendliest most knowledgeable helpful person I have ever worked with. Jeff actually talked me out of buying a new fireplace because he said there was an inexpensive way to fix the one I already had. This went against everything I had been told by numerous competitors. And as I have found out he was absolutely right. He has a wide selection of fireplaces in his showroom and a very friendly staff who make you feel special every time you walk in. Jeff also made sure my work was done in a very professional manner and immediate. I will also tell you this is the first review I have ever written!

We bought a wood stove insert from Jeff, who came into our home personally to talk about the stove, different options, and how to use it most efficiently. When Jeff told us the insert would heat our entire house I had my doubts. But here we are in mid-November, and we haven’t had to turn our heat on yet! Sale and installation both were extremely professional, efficient, and reasonably priced. We would recommend Brassworks without hesitation.

Good morning Jeff,I just wanted to let you know that my husband and I did purchase a fireplace from your store and couldn’t be happier.I had never heard of your store… so I want to thank you for getting in touch with me via a direct message on Nextdoor. after I posted a question about where to buy a fireplace.Honestly we had been to a few shops and each time left saying to each other lets think about it.When we left your store it was let think about which one we want but were sure we wanted to purchase the fireplace from Brassworks.Mark Galenski was knowledgeable, took the time to show us all the options and the pros and cons of each. We left with applicable info to make a decision.Mark returned all our calls timely and was extremely easy to work with.The installation was seamless… having the electrician and gas fitter arranged by Brassworks made the whole process go so smoothly.The fireplace has brought the room to the 21st century and the heat it emits is exactly what we expected.Happy New Year and again thanks for reaching out….

These people are great to work with!! Reasonably priced and outstanding work. They have refinished and polished 4 brass and copper antique pieces of mine, and are working on the fifth now. Highly recommended.

I have had the pleasure of working with Brassworks, and Andrew, who serviced my gas fireplace and installed a remote recently. Andrew was prompt, friendly and provided terrific customer service. Thoroughly knowledgeable and helpful when walking through the instructions. Cant say enough positive things about our experience working him. Thank you!

We have been impressed with the care and service that we have received from Brassworks. We purchased a gas fireplace and also gas stove from them; as these appliances are our primary source of heat, we place a high value on reliability. Jeff and his team gave us good advice each step of the way. When our fireplace insert developed an intermittent problem caused by a manufacturing flaw, we deeply appreciated their commitment in diagnosing and resolving it. They went way beyond our expectation for service and we were able to enjoy trouble-free and cosy winter.

The one word review first: Perfect!!! ...and the story: we live in Connecticut, and have an old Danish gas stove which we did not buy from Brassworks. We needed someone to track down parts for our discontinued model so we could convert the stove from propane to natural gas. We looked in four states for a dealer who would help us -- and the most responsive BY FAR was Lee Marshall from Brassworks. We would not be able to continue to use our beloved stove were it not for his help. Based on this experience, we sure will buy our next stove from Brassworks -- an hour and a half drive from our home!!!!

My husband and I had such a great experience working with Lee from Brassworks on choosing our fireplace gas insert. Lee was so patient with my relentless questions. He took the time to explain everything to me so I would be completely happy with my choice. We are thrilled with the insert and our experience with brassworks. We highly recommend them!

About a month ago I called Brassworks in Providence RI to ask them about using fatwood in my wood burning stove. The young man I spoke with; Jeff, told me about Stump Chunks. He highly recommended them and I was intrigued. Anyway, I stopped by and bought a bag and was immediately hooked. No more bundled up newspaper and hoping I had put enough to get the fire going. I was pleased right from the start with Stump Chunks, an all natural product. Great product, great advice, great customer service.

I recently purchased hardware for my condo renovation at Brassworks and am pleased with the quality and assortment of their products.I moved to the northeast several years ago. I happily discovered the store while looking for a fireplace mantel.I became aware of Emtek locks while shopping another store; but decided to make my purchases at Brassworks because of the service and friendliness I encountered during my previous visits.My front and back door locks are beautiful. There was an issue with the back door digital unit, but it was quickly reorder. Jeff, the owner even sent out one of his lock technician to diagnose the problem and to install the new lock.When I decide to replace my interior doors, I will purchase them from Brassworks.

I had a great experience working with Brassworks - I needed a Rais Stove for my new home and they worked with me to find the stove, and have it delivered to the Cape without any hassle or hiccups whatsoever. Also, I had some questions about installation, and Jeff, the owner, took the time to help me out. He went above and beyond - and it made a big difference to me.

The quality of Brassworks’ fireplace and cast iron stove products is only exceeded by the quality of personal service that the knowledgeable staff provides. The best !

As a homeowner you can never tell how you will be treated by a company, but I can say with absolute certainty that from start to finish Brassworks delivers! The attention to detail and accurate consultation I received from Marc in the showroom helped me to identify exactly the right stove for my desired application (A Lopi wood stove). The personal check-in from Jeff (who I later learned is the owner) completed an extremely pleasant sales experience. The stove arrived on time and was installed in a professional and timely manner. It is a beautiful centerpiece in our family room. Thus far it has exceeded our expectations and we could not be happier! Thank you so much to the crew at Brassworks!

I consider myself to be a rather picky individual so finding someone to work with me and be on the same page can be very difficult. The folks at Brassworks went way beyond my expectations. I thought that I had done enough research prior to purchasing a wood stove. Once I started talking to them I realized that there was way more than meets the eye on the subject and that I had come to the right place. I now have a beautiful fireplace insert that makes the house not only look better but its worth more money. I have since gone back just to check out the beautiful showroom they have and they helped me with the restoration of some brass hardware that desperately needed it! These guys are way beyond the competition. I know that Ill go back for sure!

We wanted to put a gas fireplace into an 80 year-old brick fireplace with a non-working chimney in our basement family room. The chimney was 60 feet high from ground level.Jeff came over and sized up the situation, recommended products that would work with our tall chimney, and gave us a rough estimate of the time to delivery and installation.Fireplace arrived on time, installer came as scheduled at 8 am, I opened the door and met him along with a man in Army fatigues standing beside him. They both burst into laughter because I had been shaving and my face was covered with shaving cream. The soldier was his brother on his way to his job with the National Guard but he climbed all the way to the top of my very tall chimney and snaked the exhaust pipe down the chimney before going off to work. Competence combined with a sense of humor! I love it.I mention this to illustrate the level of service from Brassworks - knowledgable, at the promised time, and when theyre done, well - it just works.After several months use I can say we are extremely pleased with our gas fireplace and even more pleased with the service from Brassworks. Even small things such as individual hardware items are a pleasure to get from Brassworks because of the service that is knowledgable, compennt and delivered with a smile. I could mention the loaner drawpull they let me use until the part Id ordered came in, but I wont go on.Five stars!

We were told Brassworks has a great reputation but unfortunately we had a frustrating experience there with Rhonda. We walked in with some ideas about specialty hardware--I wanted to use cremone bolts on a set of french doors--but otherwise seeking their guidance for an almost gut renovation of an older home. Her early advice during the process of specifying the exterior doors ultimately turned out to be counterproductive, and she was surprisingly slow to follow up on basic questions. We got the sense that she was uninterested in our business, even though we came in for two hour 90 min discussions, brought (and repeatedly emailed) our plans and door/window schedules, and talked about all the materials we thought we would need from them. After 3 months of doing all the work we just stopped trying to create momentum and moved on.
