Builders Fireplace Company / Lowell, MI
When Peter Klaver started building fireplace relationships with West Michigan builders back in 1999, he probably didn’t picture it growing into two of the region’s most trusted hearth showrooms. Forty-plus working displays you can actually see burning, an in-house design and installation crew customers mention by name in review after review, and a habit of showing up, explaining things clearly, and getting it right the first time. It’s exactly why WeLoveFire.com is proud to call them a preferred dealer, expert people who quietly make homes warmer, safer, and better looking.
Company History
Builder's Fireplace opened in Lowell in 1999 on a simple idea: give West Michigan's builders a fireplace partner they could rely on. Owner Peter Klaver grew it into a two-showroom company, adding a Holland location to reach lakeshore families, and today the team works alongside hundreds of builders a year while still welcoming homeowners directly. It has stayed a family business, Peter's son Kyle now runs the outdoor living side, and many installers have stayed with the company for years, which is likely why so many customers call them out by name in reviews. Builder's Fireplace also belongs to the Home Builders Association of Michigan and the Lakeshore Home Builders Association.

Step into the Lowell showroom and you'll find more than 40 working fireplace, stove, and insert displays.
