Bowden’s Fireside / Hamilton – Trenton – Princeton – NJ

In 1904 the Bowden family owned a piece of land on Broad Street in Trenton. They tried to sell but could not. So they decided to build and with a small stock of furniture a small business was born. By the 1930's they were selling floor covering, venetian blinds, table pads, awnings and combination storm windows and doors. Along the way, Bowden’s got into lighting fixtures and Baldwin brass. In 2009, the grandson sold Bowden's Fireside to the current owner Tom Hurst. A new regrowth has begun. Bowden's Fireside now offers everything for the fireplace/stove.

Over the last four years, our showroom has been 95% redone to update the look and feel of our facility and to showcase the new products that we now offer. Within the next few weeks, we will be redoing the front exterior of the store to complete our transformation. Our showroom houses 6 wood burning inserts displays, 12 wood stove displays,3 gas stove displays, 5 gas insert and 5 direct vent gas fireplaces. We have 3 burning vented gas logs displays and 2 vent-free displays. Homeowners can also view 9 different glass doors and a wide range of freestanding screens. We offer anything and everything that you would need for your fireplace or stove.

Our full-service company offers a number of services from installation to repair and cleaning.

Gas Service - installing beautiful gas fireplace systems is both an art and a science. Certified installation staff to properly install and turn up your systems. Over 50yrs of combine experience.

Chimney Service - CSIA certified chimney sweeps inspect and sweep chimneys of all kinds, oil, wood and gas. When necessary, we use video inspection camera equipment to examine hidden parts of the flue. We treat your home as if it were our own by using the best vacuum in the industry.

Chimney Relining - can help prevent deadly carbon monoxide from penetrating through your unlined or deteriorating chimney. The liner keeps carbon monoxide, moisture and smoke and creosote and other products of combustion from seeping through the brick and mortar of your chimney and leaking into your home.

Cap Installation, Crown Repair, Chase Cover Replacement & Waterproofing - helps to prevent nesting birds and animals, debris, rain and snow from entering the chimney. Also helps in keeping moisture from entering and causing problems.

Dryer Vent Cleaning - lint build up slows down the air flow which raises the temperature and the possibility of fire. That means the dryer has to work harder to compensate for the reduction of air flow. We’ll also perform a thorough sweep, searching for issues that might interfere with optimal operation.

Making you dream of a fireplace in your home a reality from start to finish. You tell us your dream and we will make it come true.
