There’s nothing quite like the glow of a crackling fire to make a space feel truly inviting—whether it’s warming up indoors during the frosty winter months or gathering outside on cool summer evenings. At The Cozy Dog Fireplace Shoppe, owner Lisa Moskal has mastered the art of creating fireplaces that blend warmth, style, and function. Since taking the reins in 2018, Moskal has transformed the shop into a premier destination for homeowners, designers, and contractors looking to craft their perfect fireside retreat.

A Woman’s Vision in a Traditionally Male Industry

When Moskal acquired The Cozy Dog Fireplace Shoppe, she brought her unique flair to what was traditionally a male-dominated industry. By updating the showroom to showcase a wide range of indoor and outdoor fireplaces, from traditional to contemporary designs, she created an inviting space that caters to every aesthetic. This personalized approach has turned her venture into a multi-million-dollar business, cementing The Cozy Dog as a leader in the field.

Helping Customers Find Their Perfect Fire

Moskal's favorite part of her role is earning the trust of her customers and delivering flawless installations. “Seeing the joy on a customer’s face when their fireplace is complete is incredibly rewarding,” she shares. Her goal is simple: to ensure each homeowner is thrilled with their new centerpiece.

Creativity in Design

One of Moskal's most memorable projects was designing a fireplace for a New York penthouse. The 100-inch, three-sided “Room Definer” fireplace mirrored the city skyline, with the lights reflecting off its double glass, creating a breathtaking effect. Another creative request involved crafting a custom burner system for a private school, where the flames replicated the school’s logo.

These unique projects showcase Moskal's ability to turn even the most ambitious visions into reality.

Fireplaces for Every Taste

For those new to fireplaces, Moskal recommends starting with two key questions: What’s your style—traditional or modern? And do you need the fireplace for heat? Answering these helps narrow the options and ensures the fireplace complements the home’s aesthetic and functionality. Moskal personally gravitates toward sophisticated styles, whether traditional or modern, and loves creating cozy settings for family gatherings. She describes the perfect evening by the fire as “good conversation with family and friends, enjoying the warmth and watching the flames dance.”

Keeping Fireplaces in Top Condition

To maintain fireplaces in peak condition, Moskal emphasizes the importance of annual cleanings. Regular maintenance not only ensures safety but also prolongs the life of the fireplace.

What Sets The Cozy Dog Apart

The Cozy Dog Fireplace Shoppe prides itself on exceptional customer service. As a boutique business, they work closely with homeowners, architects, interior designers, and builders to oversee every detail of the process—from selecting the fireplace to discussing installation and venting. Each job includes an on-site review to address any questions, ensuring the final product exceeds expectations. For Lisa Moskal, the ultimate reward is seeing her customers’ delight. “We have a long-term customer who regularly sends us photos of their fireplace throughout the seasons, surrounded by friends and family enjoying its warmth. That’s what it’s all about.”

Warmth, Style, and Connection

Whether it’s a head-turning penthouse installation or a cozy family room fire, The Cozy Dog Fireplace Shoppe delivers more than just fireplaces—it creates experiences. With Lisa Moskal’s vision and dedication, the shop continues to be a beacon of warmth and style in the community.    Source: www.citylifestyle.com
