Help for Homes, Shops and Farms
Your newer home may look great, yet the family room still feels cold every January. Minooka has grown quickly along I-80, with new subdivisions sitting right next to Grundy County farmland, and our team works with both sides of that community. Homeowners come to us for fireplace design and installation and for wood, gas, corn and pellet stoves that add steady heat. Hobby welders and contractors pick up wire, electrodes, torches and plasma cutters at our counter. Area farmers count on us for grain handling, in-bin drying and unload systems. Midwest Agri-Com operates from our Ottawa showroom on Route 71, a straight trip west on the interstate, and we are ready to help you plan your next project.
Our Service
Hearth Design and Equipment Expertise
Adding a fireplace to a newer home works best when the design fits the room and the venting is planned from the start. The team at Midwest Agri-Com handles fireplace sales and installation, with wood mantels, cultured stone, brick and masonry options plus tools and accessories to finish the look. We also carry wood and pellet stoves in steel, cast iron and soapstone for basements, additions and garages. For your shop, our counter handles welder sales and service along with the consumables you burn through, from filler rods to fuel kits. Farm customers rely on us for grain drying and handling equipment, including elevator legs, stirring machines and bin stairs. Our services cover design, installation, construction, repair, maintenance and restoration, so one call covers a lot of ground.

What Sets Our Family Business Apart
Choosing a contractor for your home or a dealer for your shop should not feel like a gamble. Personalized expert consultations lead every project we take on, because a split-level in a new Minooka neighborhood needs different heat than a century-old farmhouse. Seasoned salespeople and a professional installation crew have handled hearth, welding and grain work for decades, and the business has been family run since 1975. You also get competitive pricing on quality products and free in-store estimates, so you can weigh choices without pressure. Our showroom keeps extended store hours to fit commuter schedules. Stop by after work, look at stove finishes and mantel styles in person, and talk through your plans with someone who will still be here years from now.

your questions answered
Find answers about our products and services.
Should I choose a fireplace insert or a freestanding stove for my home?
An insert fits inside an existing masonry fireplace and turns an inefficient opening into a real heat source. A freestanding stove needs its own floor space and venting, but it often heats more area and works where no fireplace exists. Your room layout and chimney decide a lot. We can look at photos and measurements and recommend the better fit.
What size welder works best for a home garage hobby shop?
Aeration fans push air through stored grain to cool it evenly and limit moisture migration, which causes crusting and spoilage. Cooling grain in stages as outside temperatures drop keeps the bin stable. Check grain regularly and run fans when conditions are right. We supply and service grain handling and drying equipment to keep stored crops in good condition.
