Experience Matters

Bonnie and Karl Quattlebaum are the owners of Today’s Fireplace.  With over 30 years experience in the fireplace industry, first in Maryland (Bonnie actually worked for the inventor of pre-engineered fireplaces) then in Raleigh, Bonnie and Karl bought what is now Today’s Fireplace in 2001. We are the exclusive distributor in the area for Heat & Glo fireplaces and also distribute Heatilator fireplaces. We offer complete installations of fireplaces, marble, granite and mantels.

Jeff Smith, Bonnie and Karl’s son, moved with them from Raleigh and is the area manager for New Hanover , Brunswick, Pender and Onslow Counties.  Having been raised in the fireplace business, Jeff brings much experience to his area.

Bill Crye, our Ocean Isle Beach showroom manager also moved from Raleigh to join our team.

Michelle Croom , our office manager and Jeremy Elixson, our service manager worked for the company we bought and are experienced and valuable assets to our business.

Matt Kuzdrall, our Myrtle Beach area manager worked part time for us as a service tech while completing his education at UNCW.  He decided to join the company full time and handles our national accounts in Myrtle Beach.

Amy Coombs also joined us and coordinates almost every aspect of our business.  Barry Croom is our fuel-piping manager and Greg Lewis is our service technician and does our complimentary “start-ups” on all of our gas fireplaces.

Our business has continued to grow and we have expanded in to outdoor kitchens (we manufacture our own components), outdoor fireplaces, pergolas, firepits, and premier lines of gas grills.  We have recently added masonry glass doors, wood stoves and pellet stoves to our product line.

Today’s Fireplace takes pride in the quality of our work and in our customer service.  We are active members in the Wilmington-Cape Fear Homebuilders Association, the Brunswick and New Hanover Chambers of Commerce and are National Fireplace Institute certified.

Today’s Fireplace is undoubtedly the most experienced fireplace team in the area and we look forward to working with you.
