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.

Frequently asked in Pittsburgh

What's the average cost to install a fireplace?

The cost of installing a fireplace in Pittsburgh varies significantly depending on the type of fireplace you choose and the complexity of the installation. Factors like the need for new chimney construction or modifications, gas line hookups, and finishing materials for the surround all contribute to the overall price. A professional on-site assessment is the best way to determine an accurate cost for your home.

What is the 2 + 10 rule for fireplaces?

The 2+10 rule is a critical safety standard for fireplace installations, ensuring that combustible materials are kept a safe distance from the heat. It typically means a 2-inch clearance from the fireplace opening and a 10-inch clearance from the sides and top of the fireplace structure. Licensed installers adhere to this to prevent fires.
