What affects the price

The final bill for a wood fireplace depends on several moving parts. Choosing between a simple pre-fabricated insert and a custom-built masonry hearth changes labor costs significantly. You also need to consider the condition of your existing chimney; if it needs a new liner or structural repairs to meet local safety codes, that adds to the total. Efficiency ratings and the finish materials you select—like stone, brick, or high-end metal trim—also influence the investment required for your home. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.

When you install a new wood fireplace, we account for the firebox, the exterior venting, and the decorative masonry or framing around the unit. Prices shift based on whether you are doing a new construction project or retrofitting an existing wall, as well as the materials used for the surround. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.

Most homeowners forget about their fireplace during the summer months, but it is actually the best time for upgrades.
