Our History

Wiegmann Woodworking & Fireplaces, Inc. is a family-owned and operated company built on dedication, craftsmanship, and community. The journey began with Bobby Wiegmann’s service as a pipefitter and firefighter in the United States Navy—a chapter that unexpectedly laid the foundation of expertise for his future in the fireplace industry. Following his military service, Bobby spent years navigating the corporate world, yet always held a profound desire to build a business of his own.

In 1999, taking a true leap of faith, he left the corporate sector to pursue that dream, starting with custom woodworking projects crafted right from his garage. As the business grew, so did the opportunities to expand into the sales, installation, and servicing of premium fireplaces, doors, and finish trim. When the demands of their thriving business multiplied, Bobby’s wife, Teresa, left her career in teaching to join the adventure full-time. Together—supported by an exceptional team, loyal friends, and countless hours of dedicated help from their three children—they reached a major milestone in 2007, purchasing their permanent commercial home in Damiansville, Illinois.

Today, our showroom stands as a continuous "Labor of Love," where we take great pride in keeping our displays modern, inspiring, and up-to-date. While our roots began in woodworking, our expertise has evolved to focus heavily on state-of-the-art fireplaces, doors, interior trim, and expansive outdoor living and entertainment spaces.

To ensure you receive the highest level of dedicated, expert service, we highly encourage scheduling an appointment prior to your visit. Because our specialists frequently conduct firsthand site assessments on active jobsites, booking ahead guarantees that the most qualified team member is available to focus entirely on your specific project needs.

However, our doors are always open during standard business hours. We invite you to drop in at your convenience to browse, gather inspiration, and explore both our indoor showroom and our growing outdoor displays.

We recognize that our growth would not be possible without the foundational support of our family and friends. Above all, the Wiegmann family extends our deepest gratitude to the community of Damiansville, Illinois, and our surrounding clients, who have continually championed our business and welcomed us into their homes through the years.
