The homeowner's challenge
Why homeowners come to us for fireplace work
- An outdated or non-functional fireplace that no longer gets used
- A mantel style that no longer matches the rest of the room
- Inefficient heat output from an older unit or insert
- Venting or safety concerns with an existing installation
- A focal point that no longer fits the home's design direction
Our approach
How we handle a fireplace project
A fireplace is one of the few things in a house people actually gather around, so we treat it as architecture, proportioned to the room and built from real material, rather than an afterthought finished last. That means the surround, hearth, and mantel are planned together with the rest of the room from the start.
