Welcome to Blaze Fireplaces

We’re proud to be the oldest and most respected supplier in Northern California. We take pride in adhering to only the highest standards in the products and services we provide. It is our firm commitment to meeting our customers’ needs and providing exceptional service that has enabled us to achieve our best in class reputation.
For more than 65 years, we have created ambiance and gathering points for countless homes and families around the Bay Area. Our evolution has seen it all, from the bygone brick fireplace and chimney to today’s highly efficient, streamlined appliances. Then or now, we aim to capture the same practical, timeless, and comfortable feeling around the fireplace. To us, realizing your vision for your home is rooted in this heritage of the local neighborhood hearth shop, laying one brick at a time – just reinterpreted for life today.
Founded in 1953 in San Francisco, Blaze remains the Bay Area’s hearth shop. In an industry that has grown and changed drastically in just the last 10 years, longtime owner – Bruce Weitzman has kept pace where others couldn’t and where many still fall behind. Fireplaces today are not built from the same basic design anymore.
Blaze has multiple locations enabling us to service customers throughout all of Northern California, including San Francisco, San Mateo, Hillsborough, Burlingame, Marin, Walnut Creek, Santa Rosa, San Jose, Los Altos, Portola Valley, Woodside, and Oakland. Our projects include custom and single-family homes, multi-residential projects, and commercial buildings. Blaze provides onsite consultation, full installation, service, warranty, and after-sales support. We also take pride in our designer showrooms where we are proud to offer our customers a special selection of actual burning displays of fireplaces in a showroom. Based on the feedback we have received from customers, being able to view our working showroom has been an invaluable experience towards making a more educated decision. Please stop by our showroom for an experience that you can’t get anywhere else. With our inspired designs of Modern Fireplaces, is it any wonder that so many buyers rely on Blaze for exceptional quality in fireplaces?
