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

An insert is designed to fit inside your existing masonry fireplace to improve heat efficiency. We evaluate your chimney’s condition and flue size to ensure a safe, airtight fit. The final cost depends on the size of the insert, the type of fuel source you choose, and any necessary chimney liner upgrades required for safety. 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.

Frequently asked in St. Petersburg

What's the difference between direct vent and B-vent fireplaces in St. Petersburg?

Direct vent fireplaces in St. Petersburg use a special vent system that goes straight outside through a wall or the roof. This system uses two pipes, one for intake and one for exhaust. B-vent fireplaces, on the other hand, use a single pipe that vents upwards, similar to a traditional chimney. This type of venting requires more clearance from combustible materials. Understanding these differences helps when choosing the right setup for your home.
