  • Beat the Rush. Fall is a busy season for fireplace inspections, repairs, and upgrades. By getting it scheduled now, you can avoid the rush and help move your fireplace toward being ready to use as soon as the cooler temps set in.
  • Maximize Comfort. Upgrading your fireplace can increase enjoyment and heat output significantly – and upgrading now means you may be able to enjoy its warmth and ambiance right from the first days of fall. Whether you prefer the crackle of wood or the convenience of gas, our fireplace options are geared toward improving safety, efficiency, and overall satisfaction.
  • Increase Energy Efficiency. Modern fireplace technology lends itself to higher energy efficiency than ever. By upgrading to a new fireplace or retrofitting a fireplace insert, you can reduce energy costs and minimize heat loss – keeping your home warmer and cozier without wasting energy.

What Fireplace Upgrades Are Possible?

We offer a variety of services and fireplace products that we’ll work to tailor to your tastes, needs, and living space. Whether you’re starting from a totally blank slate or are wanting to upgrade an existing fireplace, our experts can work with you to go from initial ideas to a beautiful, functional reality. 

While there are simply too many possibilities to provide an exhaustive list, here are some ideas to get you thinking! We encourage you to call our friendly customer service specialists to further explore what we can make happen.

  • Mantel Installation: It’s amazing how the style of a mantel can impact the look of the room. From sleek to stately, installing or changing a fireplace mantel can transform the feel of the whole fireplace – and living space.
  • Gas Log Sets: Not everyone wants to source, stack, haul, and maintain a wood supply – or clean up after a wood fire. But we don’t know anyone who dislikes the comforting ambiance a wood fire brings! Gas log sets marry the look of wood logs with the convenience of a gas-fueled fire – for many homeowners, that’s a match made in heaven.
  • Fireplace Inserts: If you have a traditional, open fireplace and existing chimney, upgrading to an insert is rich with benefits. First, it’s a perfect opportunity to switch fuel sources if you’ve been wishing to do so. They also offer an opportunity to change your aesthetic. And, best of all, inserts are engineered to improve efficiency and heat output. Basically, inserts retain the charm of your fireplace while bringing its performance to a whole new level.
  • Prefabricated Fireplaces: If you don’t have an existing fireplace or chimney, never fear. There are options for you too! Prefabricated fireplaces are manufactured off-site, then professionally assembled in your home. They’re known for efficiency and the flexibility they can bring into your room design, and they reduce the costs associated with starting from scratch.
  • Masonry Fireboxes: If the classic appeal of a masonry fireplace is what you’re after, our team can expertly bring that durability and charm into your living space.
  • Outdoor Fireplaces or Firepits: Our gardens and patios are natural extensions of our living space and should be enjoyed to the full! Gathering outdoors or quietly ending your evening at the fireside under the stars are excellent ways to do just that. We can custom design a project that will make your yard an inviting and beautiful space.
