Tips for a Successful Fireplace Redesign
A successful fireplace redesign requires careful planning, attention to detail, and an understanding of both aesthetics and functionality. Here are some tips to ensure your fireplace makeover meets your expectations:
Choose the Right Materials
Select materials that not only look great but are also durable and suitable for a fireplace. Consider the maintenance requirements and heat tolerance of materials like stone, brick, tile, and metal.
Brick offers a timeless charm and warm, rustic appeal, making it a classic choice for a cozy and inviting fireplace design.
Stone brings natural beauty and durability to fireplaces, providing a sturdy and elegant focal point in any living space.
Wood mantels and surrounds add warmth and character to fireplaces, creating a cozy, traditional setting that feels like home.
Define Your Goals
Clearly identify what you want to achieve with your redesign. Are you focusing on updating the look, improving efficiency, or both? Understanding your primary objectives will guide your decisions throughout the process.
Seek Inspiration
Collect images and ideas from home design websites, magazines, and social media platforms like Pinterest and Instagram. This can help you pinpoint styles, materials, and features you love.
Invest in Quality Inserts
If you’re switching to a gas or electric fireplace, choose a high-quality insert that offers efficiency, reliability, and fits your heating needs. Consider features like adjustable heat settings and remote control operation.
Hire Professionals
For the technical aspects of the redesign, such as installing gas lines or electrical connections, hiring experienced professionals is crucial. They can ensure the work is done safely and up to code.

How can we Help?
The cost of a fireplace redesign can vary widely depending on several factors such as the extent of the redesign, the materials selected, the type of fireplace insert, and the complexity of the installation. Here are some general price ranges to consider:
- Simple cosmetic updates, like painting or adding a new mantel, might cost anywhere from a several hundred to a couple of thousand dollars.
- More extensive material changes, such as replacing the surround with stone or tile, can range from $3,500 to $5,000+.
- Inserts and upgrades, like switching to a gas or electric fireplace, can significantly affect the price, potentially ranging from $7,000 to $10,000, including installation.
- Custom built-ins or elaborate designs could push costs higher, possibly exceeding $10,000 for high-end materials and intricate craftsmanship.
The scheduling timeframe can differ depending on the season, our current workload, and the urgency of your request. During our peak season, which typically runs from late fall to early winter, appointments may be booked several weeks in advance. However, during the off-season, we can usually schedule consultations within a few days.
The duration of the project varies, with simple conversions taking a few days and more extensive design updates potentially spanning several weeks. Most conversions and significant updates require permits to ensure safety and adherence to local building codes. Regular maintenance by a certified professional is recommended to keep your gas or electric fireplace in optimal condition.
If your chimney requires repairs, you’ll be in good hands. We’ve been repairing chimneys since 1982.
The next steps will largely depend on the extent of the issue identified during the inspection. Minor repairs, like sealant touch-ups or cap replacement, can often be completed quickly and with a smaller budget. For more extensive repairs, such as masonry work or internal structural changes, a more detailed assessment and quote will be provided. Either way, our team will walk you through the options, estimated costs, and timeline to make sure your chimney is back in safe working condition.
