A cultured stone fireplace surround can give an older Metamora home the warm, classic look that suits a town with real history. Metamora is home to the Metamora Courthouse State Historic Site, where Abraham Lincoln once argued cases, and the town sits in Woodford County east of Peoria above the Illinois River valley. Many local properties mix established homes with farmland, so your needs might include fireplace sales and installation, a wood or pellet stove for a drafty room, or grain handling and drying equipment for the fields outside town. Local shops and farms also rely on welding supplies and equipment, plus dependable service when a machine acts up. Our Ottawa-based crew handles each of these with the same attention.

Our Service
Classic Hearths and Dependable Gear
Fireplace design is where many Metamora conversations begin. We build and install fireplaces using brick, cultured stone, masonry and wood mantels, and we offer tools and accessories that make them easier to use every day. If you want more heat than an open fireplace can deliver, we carry gas, wood, pellet and corn stoves made of soapstone, cast iron and steel. Restoration work is part of the job too, which helps when an older home has a hearth worth saving. Beyond the house, our welding department stocks electrodes, wire, fuel kits, handles, torches, filler rods and plasma cutters, with sales and service on welding machines. Area farms get support for grain handling and drying too, covering unload systems, bin stairs, elevator legs, stirring machines and in-bin drying. We handle design, installation, construction, maintenance and inspection, so each project is covered start to finish.

your questions answered
Find answers about our products and services.
Which mantel material works best above a wood-burning fireplace in an older home?
Wood mantels bring warmth and suit farmhouse or traditional rooms, but they are combustible, so they need proper clearance above the firebox opening. Cultured stone and brick mantels tolerate heat closer to the fire and blend well with masonry surrounds. In older Metamora homes, matching the existing trim and checking the wall structure usually decides the choice.
What makes bin stairs safer than a straight ladder on a grain bin?
Most 120-volt MIG welders run best with .023 or .030 wire, which suits the lower amperage these machines produce. Thinner wire works well on sheet metal and light fabrication, while .030 handles slightly thicker material. Check your machine's drive rolls and contact tips so they match the wire size you choose.
