Sales and Services
River Town Service You Can Trust
Dixon is a river town with a strong sense of history, split by the Rock River and anchored by its role as the Lee County seat. Its mix of established neighborhoods, small manufacturers and surrounding farm ground calls for a supplier that can handle more than one kind of job. Our Ottawa-based crew does exactly that. We design and install fireplaces and stoves for older Dixon homes, support local shops with welding equipment sales and service, and help area growers with grain drying and handling. Our Ottawa showroom on Route 71 is a straightforward drive southeast, and you can count on a free in-store estimate along with patient, knowledgeable help.
Our Service
Hearth, Shop and Grain Expertise
Many Dixon houses have original fireplaces that deserve a second life, and our team handles design, restoration, repair and new construction, finishing each hearth in masonry, cultured stone or a custom wood mantel. If you want steady heat, compare cast iron, steel and soapstone stoves that burn wood, gas, corn or pellets, along with the tools and accessories to keep them running well. Local fabricators and hobby welders can rely on us for torches, plasma cutters, welding wire, electrodes, filler rods, handles, fuel kits and machine service. For farms outside town, our crew plans grain handling from the pit to the bin, including elevator legs, drying floors with stirring machines, unload systems and bin stairs. Installation, inspection and maintenance round out every service, so each project is finished properly and stays dependable for years.

Can an old masonry fireplace be restored instead of fully replaced?
Often it can. Restoration may include repairing brick and mortar, relining the chimney, replacing a damaged damper or updating the surround with a new mantel or cultured stone. An inspection shows if the firebox and flue are sound enough to keep. Restoration usually preserves the character of an older home while improving safety and performance.
What size welder should a small fabrication shop start with?
Unload systems use floor augers and sweep augers to pull grain from the center and remaining floor area toward the outlet. A properly sized system moves grain at a steady rate and reduces the time spent inside the bin cleaning up. We look at bin diameter, crop and how fast you load trucks before recommending a setup.
