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

A propane fireplace uses a dedicated tank to fuel flames, making it a great option for homes without access to natural gas lines. You might choose this if you want the convenience of instant heat and remote control operation in a room without an existing chimney. Costs depend on the unit's heat output, venting requirements, and any custom stonework.

Fall is when everyone starts thinking about their fireplace again. Our schedule fills up very quickly as the air gets crisp. If you are planning to have a unit installed before the holidays, it is best to reach out as soon as possible. We prioritize these installations to make sure you have a functional, cozy hearth when the real cold settles in.
