Fireplace Construction and Remodel

New indoor fireplaces and remodels that update tired surrounds with brick, stone and custom mantels.

A fireplace is the heart of a room. A dated, dark or poorly proportioned one can drag the whole space down, and a well-designed one lifts it. Whether you want to build a new masonry fireplace or reface the one you have, the right surround brings warmth and presence.

We remodel fireplaces in brick, natural stone, manufactured stone and tile and build custom mantels, hearths and built-in niches. We check the firebox and flue before cosmetic work, because looks do not matter if the fireplace is not safe. Then we plan the new design with you, carefully protecting your floors and furniture while we work.

Safety first

Before any cosmetic work, we inspect the firebox, damper and flue so you know the fireplace is sound.

Surround and facing

Brick, stone and tile give very different moods. We bring samples to your room so you can see the effect in the real light.

Hearth and mantel

A hearth that extends into the room and a mantel with good proportions change the whole feel. We build to code clearances.

Built-ins and details

Niches for wood, shelves for books and space for a television can be integrated carefully so the fireplace feels part of the architecture.

How it works

Our process, start to finish.

  1. 01

    Call and schedule

    You tell us about the wall, chimney, patio or idea and the timeline, and we set a visit that fits your day.

    Visit and design

    We walk the property, look closely at the masonry, show brick and stone samples and talk through the layout.

    Measure and plan

    We measure everything, write a proposal and coordinate any association approvals or permits.

    Build course by course

    Our masons lay brick, stone and block by hand, checking level, plumb and spacing at every stage.

  6. 06

    Finish and walk through

    We tool the joints, clean the faces, walk the project with you, share care tips and leave the site clean.

Questions

Fireplace Build and Remodel FAQ

Can I reface a brick fireplace?

Yes. We can cover it with stone, tile or a new brick face.

Can I put a television above it?

Heat and wiring need to be considered. We design the mantel and wall for it.

Is gas better than wood?

It is cleaner and easier to start. Wood offers real flames and aroma.

How long does a remodel take?

Most remodels take several days to a couple of weeks.

Do I need a permit?

For major changes you often do. We help you check.
