A dated fireplace becomes a focal point again with natural stone, brick or tile and a custom mantel, built over a sound, safe base.
A fireplace is the center of a room, and a tired one drags the whole space down. Painted brick, a dark surround or a plain wooden mantel can look dated. Refacing gives the fireplace a new look with stone, brick, tile or stucco without rebuilding the whole chimney, and it is one of the most effective updates you can make to a living room.
We check the firebox and flue before any cosmetic work, because a beautiful fireplace should also be safe. Then we plan the new design with you, showing samples in your own room so you can see color and texture in your real light. We build the surround, the hearth and the mantel to the required clearances and finish the work cleanly.
Before we face a fireplace, we inspect the firebox and flue so you know the base is sound. A new face is wasted on a fireplace that is not safe.
Stone veneer gives a rustic look. Brick suits traditional homes. Tile and stucco give a cleaner, modern look. We bring samples to your room.
A raised hearth and a well-proportioned mantel change the whole feel. We build to the clearances needed from the opening to combustible materials.
Niches for wood, shelves and space for a television can be added carefully so the fireplace feels part of the architecture.
