Fireplace Installation
A fireplace is the one renovation that changes how a room feels at 7 PM in January. Installing one — wood-burning, gas, or electric — is a systems job: structure, venting, gas or electrical, and code, all of which have to agree before the first flame.
From 'we want a fireplace' to first fire
We start with the consultation: which fuel fits your life (wood for ritual, gas for one-click evenings, electric where venting can’t go), which wall can host it, and what the venting path looks like. Then one crew carries it through — framing coordination, the unit, the flue or direct-vent run, gas line or circuit, surround clearances, and the first-fire walkthrough.
Code is the floor, not the ceiling
Clearances to combustibles, hearth extensions, vent terminations, gas sizing — we build past minimums because we also service fireplaces for a living and know exactly which shortcuts turn into our repair calls five years later. Quality materials, advanced equipment, transparent communication the whole way; financing at 0% interest if the project calls for it.

Common Questions
Which is cheapest to run — wood, gas, or electric?
Electric wins on install cost and per-evening pennies (it’s a space heater with theater). Gas costs more to install but heats real square footage on demand. Wood is the cheapest fuel if you have a source — and the most ritual. We’ll match the math to how you’ll actually use it.
Can you add a fireplace to a room without a chimney?
Yes — direct-vent gas units need only an exterior wall, and electric needs an outlet. Full masonry wood fireplaces are the only ones that demand real chimney construction.
