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

This is a bigger project than gas because it requires careful masonry or metal flue installation to ensure the house stays safe. Costs depend heavily on the size of the unit and the chimney height needed for your roofline. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
