Cost for fireplace installation — Santa Monica, CA
Last updated: September 24, 2026
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
The cost for a fireplace installation varies based on the fuel source and the amount of construction required. If your home already has the necessary gas or venting lines, the project is generally more straightforward. If we have to open walls or build a new chimney structure, that adds to the labor hours. 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.
