Our Story

Western Expanse Chimney and Hearth was founded in 2022 by Nathan Beavor, a U.S. veteran, and his wife Sarah Beavor. After noticing how underserved the chimney and hearth industry was in our rural North Idaho communities, Nathan started the business with a clear mission: to provide honest, high-quality service to his fellow Idahoans and neighbors in Eastern Washington.

What began as a commitment to fill a real need in the region has grown into a trusted local company dedicated to safety, craftsmanship, and customer satisfaction. As a veteran-owned business, we bring the same values of integrity, reliability, and attention to detail that Nathan learned in the service to every job we do.

We are proud to be based in Tensed, Idaho, and we proudly serve homes and families throughout North Idaho and Eastern Washington.

Why Choose Us?

Certified Expertise

Nathan is NFI Certified (National Fireplace Institute), the industry’s top standard for safe and proper planning and installation of wood-burning hearth products. This ensures every installation meets the highest safety and performance standards.

Ongoing Training

Nathan attends the HPBExpo (the largest hearth, patio, and barbecue industry trade show in North America) every year. There, he receives direct manufacturer training and stays current on the latest innovations in fireplace and stove technology, venting systems, efficiency standards, and safety practices.

Family-Owned & Community-Focused

As a small, local business, we treat every customer like a neighbor. We’re not a big corporate chain — we’re your neighbors who care about the safety and comfort of your home.

Safety First

Proper chimney maintenance and correctly installed hearth appliances are critical for preventing chimney fires, carbon monoxide issues, and other hazards. Our NFI certification and continuous training reflect our serious commitment to doing things the right way.

From routine chimney sweeps and inspections to complex repairs, liner installations, and complete stove or fireplace setups, we do it right the first time.
