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.
Before any cosmetic work, we inspect the firebox, damper and flue so you know the fireplace is sound.
Brick, stone and tile give very different moods. We bring samples to your room so you can see the effect in the real light.
A hearth that extends into the room and a mantel with good proportions change the whole feel. We build to code clearances.
Niches for wood, shelves for books and space for a television can be integrated carefully so the fireplace feels part of the architecture.
