Our Professional Installation Process

We manage every detail of your hearth transformation, from initial design renderings to electrical, gas, and masonry finishing touches:

In-Home Design & Safety Inspection:

We measure your hearth, inspect the existing firebox and flue liner for safety compliance, and help you select materials, mantels, and heating inserts.

Dust Containment & Site Protection:

We build sealed plastic dust barriers around the workspace and lay heavy floor protection to keep your home clean throughout demolition.

Demolition & Framing Prep:

We carefully strip away old drywall, tile, or dated brick, framing out new dimensions and installing heat-resistant cement backing boards.

Insert Installation & Utilities (If Applicable):

We run gas lines, electrical outlets, or install high-efficiency fireplace inserts and insulated stainless steel flue liners.

Precision Masonry & Facing Application:

Our masons hand-lay your chosen stone, tile, or brick facing with precise alignment and crisp grout lines.

Mantel, Hearth & Finishing Touches:

We anchor custom timber or stone mantels, install non-combustible floor hearth extensions, and complete a thorough final cleanup.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a typical fireplace remodel cost?
Costs vary depending on the scope of work. A simple cosmetic refacing (adding thin stone or tile over existing brick) typically costs $2,500 to $6,000. Full floor-to-ceiling remodels with new gas inserts, custom mantels, and TV prep usually range from $7,000 to $15,000+.
Yes! As long as the underlying brick structure is stable and flat, we can apply a scratch coat of mortar directly over the brick or install cement backer board to lay fresh tile, stacked stone, or plaster. Refacing over existing brick saves thousands in heavy demolition costs.
National fire codes require non-combustible mantels or heat deflectors between the firebox and sensitive electronics. Typically, a TV should sit 12 to 24 inches above the top of the firebox, depending on whether you have a projecting mantel shelf to divert rising hot air away from the screen.
Most cosmetic refacing projects take just 2 to 3 days. Complete structural overhauls involving demolition, gas line installation, new inserts, tile work, and custom mantels generally take 4 to 7 days from start to finish.
Yes. Building codes mandate a non-combustible floor extension (such as tile, stone, or brick) extending at least 16 to 20 inches in front of open wood-burning fireboxes to protect your floors from flying embers. Gas fireplaces or enclosed glass inserts often allow flush floor finishes right up to the unit depending on manufacturer specifications.
