reputable installers (wood burning stove) in DC/Silver Spring area

[mummra1]

hi folks
I'm wondering if anyone in the DC metro area has had a good experience with an individual or company who installed a wood burning stove to the owner's satisfaction? I feel like there are too many code/safety issues for me to tackle this on my own. I have an existing masonry fireplace into which I plan on installing a free standing wood stove, along with the chimney liner and maybe a blocker board.

thanks in advance for your feedback.
