Black Velvet Chimney is the best fireplace / stove installer around in the Dallas and Ellis county area. If you need any Chimney or wood burning stove work - this guy will do you right. Wonderful people. Truly enjoyed the whole process.

Pete is very punctual and responds very quickly. His crew installed a beautiful fireplace in 2021. It is so much cleaner and gives us enough heat for the house especially when we lose power. Highly recommended Pete because of his knowledge and experience!
