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.
