What affects the price

When you're looking at a new fireplace, the bottom line depends on a few specific things. First, are we working with an existing chimney or venting system, or does everything need to be built from scratch? The type of fuel matters too—gas, electric, or wood-burning units all carry different installation requirements. You also have to consider the finish work, like custom stonework, mantels, or drywall repairs around the unit. Labor complexity is the biggest factor here. We’ll get you the exact pricing confirmed free on the call.

About this service

This service covers the full process of adding a new fireplace to your home, from choosing the right unit to venting and finishing the surrounding wall. You need this when you are building a home, renovating a room, or adding a heat source to a space that previously didn't have one. Professionals ensure the unit is safely integrated into your structure and meets local building codes for ventilation and clearance, making sure your new feature is both functional and secure for daily use.

Installing a fireplace in the summer might seem unusual, but it is often the most efficient route. You avoid the peak-season rush, which usually means shorter wait times for an appointment. It is the perfect off-season project to ensure your home is ready long before the first chill of autumn hits. We can get the job done quickly while you focus on other home improvements.
