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.
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.
Frequently asked in Knoxville

Can I install a fireplace myself in Knoxville?
How do you install a fireplace?
Professional fireplace installation involves carefully assessing your home's structure, installing the firebox, running necessary ventilation and gas lines (if applicable), and ensuring all connections are secure and up to code. The crew will then typically finish the surround and hearth. This meticulous process ensures both safety and optimal performance for your new fireplace.
How much does it cost to install a gas fireplace near me in Knoxville?
Do fireplaces need to be professionally installed?
Yes, for safety and code compliance, most fireplaces, especially gas and wood-burning units requiring venting, absolutely need professional installation. This ensures that gas lines are properly sealed, vents are correctly installed to prevent smoke and carbon monoxide buildup, and the unit is structurally sound. Professionals in Knoxville have the expertise to handle these critical aspects.
What is the 2 + 10 rule for fireplaces?
The 2+10 rule is a safety guideline for chimney height, often cited in fireplace installation. It generally states that the chimney must extend at least two feet higher than the point where it penetrates the roof, and at least ten feet away from any part of the building that is higher than the chimney. This helps ensure proper draft and safe smoke dispersal.
