Fireplace Insert Installation & Remodel

Southern California

We started with a 3D design preview so the homeowner could see the finished look before any demolition began. After opening up the old firebox, our crew framed the new opening to spec, installed the fireplace insert, and finished with a clean custom surround. The result is an efficient, modern focal point that transformed the living room.

Fireplace Glass Door Installation

Southern California

The homeowner wanted to reduce heat loss and update the look of their masonry fireplace. We measured the firebox opening, sourced a correctly-sized bi-fold glass door set with a matte black frame, and completed the installation in a single visit. The doors open fully for use with a fire and close tight when the fireplace is not in use, stopping the constant draw of conditioned air up the chimney. The finished result is clean, functional, and a clear upgrade over the original open firebox.

Electric Fireplace Remodel with Stone Slab Surround

Southern California

The homeowner wanted to transform their dated brick fireplace into a sleek, modern focal point. We demolished the existing brick surround, framed the new opening to spec, ran electrical, and installed a modern linear electric fireplace. The surround was finished with a full-height polished stone slab that runs floor to ceiling, creating a dramatic and clean look. The result is a stunning upgrade that completely transformed the living room.

Center Piece Fireplace and Chimney Remodel

Southern California

This fireplace sits in the middle of a double height great room, so it had to be right from every angle. Our crew masked the entire room and protected the floors before touching anything, then stripped the existing stone cladding back to the concrete block and brick underneath. We rebuilt the surface in new cement board, taped and prepped every seam, and set full height scaffolding so the plasterers could work the column from floor to vaulted ceiling in one continuous pass. The finish is a hand troweled Venetian plaster in a soft off white, wrapped around a see through gas firebox that opens to the seating area on both sides. The result is a single clean column that anchors the whole room.

Fireplace Remodel FAQs


Common questions answered by our certified technicians.

Absolutely. We can install a gas insert, electric insert, or convert the space to a decorative feature without restoring the original wood-burning function.
Most remodels are completed in three to seven working days. Simple surround and mantel upgrades take two to three days. Full wall transformations with structural changes may take up to ten days.
Real estate studies consistently show that an updated fireplace is one of the top features buyers look for. A well-executed remodel typically returns 75 to 100 percent of its cost at resale, and it can make a home sell faster.
