Are You Thinking About Adding or Replacing a Fireplace?
A new fireplace is not always the answer. Sometimes repair still makes sense. Other times, replacement or a new installation is the better direction.
Here are a few common reasons homeowners consider installation.
You Want to Add a Fireplace
Maybe the room does not have one now, or you want a different setup than what is currently there. The location, fireplace type, venting, chimney, and surrounding structure can all affect what is possible.
Your Existing Fireplace Needs Too Much Work
Some fireplace problems are worth repairing. Others involve enough damage, age, missing parts, or limitations that replacement becomes worth considering.
Start With Fireplace RepairYou’re Considering a Fireplace Insert
An insert may work for some existing fireplace openings. Before choosing one, the fireplace, opening, chimney, and venting should be checked to see what the current setup can support.

If the fireplace works but the visible finish feels outdated or no longer fits the room, refacing may be enough without replacing the entire fireplace.

The issue may not be damage. You may want a change because of the fireplace’s appearance, age, a room update, a different setup, or a larger replacement project.
You’re Not Sure Whether to Repair or Replace
You do not need to decide that before contacting us. We can help you understand whether repairing the current fireplace still makes sense or whether it is time to consider installation.

Questions Homeowners Ask About Fireplace Installation
Clear answers about fireplace replacement, inserts, project scope, chimney and venting work, other trades, and service availability.
How do I know if I should repair or replace my fireplace?
It depends on the fireplace type, the amount of damage, available parts, the existing setup, and what you want from the fireplace.
If the existing fireplace can still be repaired reasonably, Fireplace Repair may make more sense than replacement.
What types of fireplaces do you install?
The installation options available can depend on the home, existing fireplace, opening, chimney, venting, and the type of fireplace being considered.
Tell us what you currently have and what you want to change so the team can confirm whether the project is a fit.
Can you install a fireplace insert?
Fireplace inserts may be an option for some existing fireplace openings.
The fireplace, opening, chimney, and venting should be checked before an insert is selected. See Fireplace Insert Installation for more information.
Can you replace an existing fireplace?
Replacement may be possible depending on the fireplace type, surrounding structure, chimney, venting, and the replacement option being considered.
The existing setup should be reviewed before the installation scope is confirmed.
Does fireplace installation include chimney or venting work?
It depends on the project. Some installations may involve the chimney, flue, liner, or another venting component.
The existing system and proposed fireplace need to be reviewed so the exact installation scope and any separate chimney work can be confirmed before the project begins.
Do you handle gas, electrical, permits, or inspections?
Requirements can vary depending on the fireplace and project. Some installations may require another qualified trade, local approval, or a separate inspection.
The responsibilities included in your project should be confirmed before installation is scheduled.
