Founded in 1932, Fireplace Stone & Patio is a fourth-generation family-owned and operated company that emerged as a Depression Era success story in the growing city of Omaha, Nebraska.
With customer relationships and quality service as its prime commodities, the business took part in the busy regional trade center activities of the day. The company's customers were local lumber yards in nearby communities, hence the original name "Lumbermen's Supply." Though the name might suggest otherwise, lumber was not in the product offering. Today we employ approximately 100 people who represent the strong values and work ethic of the Midwest.
Over the years we have furnished materials for many of Omaha's major construction projects. We have furnished face brick for the Eppley Airport, The Cat House at the Henry Doorly Zoo, Bishop Clarkson Hospital, the Southroads, Crossroads, and Westroads Shopping Malls, the Peter Kiewit Conference Center, TD Ameritrade Park and the Chamber of Commerce Building. Some of the projects for which we have supplied Cultured Stone include most of the exteriors of the Henry Doorly Zoo exhibits and the Regency Shopping Center.
In 2000, we decided to spread our wings, and our storefronts, by opening the Fireplace & Stone Center in Urbandale, Iowa, and in 2001, the Hearth & Home of Grand Island, Nebraska. 2006 began the launch of Hearth & Home of Lincoln, Nebraska. In 2012 our Urbandale store relocated to Waukee, Iowa where it is today. Our core groups of clients include homebuilders, commercial masons, landscapers, and the retail public. We also believe strongly in promoting our products and their applications to the architectural and engineering communities.
In September of 2014 all four of our locations underwent a name change and rebranding to Fireplace Stone & Patio, as we are known today. While the names “Lumbermen’s” and “Fireplace & Stone Center” were built on many years of service and quality, we wanted to make it more obvious to the general public that we have built beautiful designer showrooms with life-size displays to inspire your next new home, fireplace facelift, or outdoor patio and kitchen projects.
The ownership, employees, and addresses are all the same. We still represent the same high-quality brands as before, with the same service and warranty you have grown to expect. Our team members are well-trained and highly experienced with an average tenure of 8 years and 634 total years of experience in the company.
As in 1932, our primary goal continues to be to provide quality service and quality product to our customers, to promote comfortable living, and bring quality to life. Click to verify BBB accreditation and to see a BBB report.
