Any room in your home can become cozier and warmer. Imagine getting ready for the day on a cool autumn morning, but you’re perfectly comfortable because you have a beautiful and efficient gas fireplace burning in your bedroom or bathroom. When it’s time to go, you can easily turn it off with the press of a button or set the fireplace to thermostat-mode to keep your room consistently warm.
What Type of Fireplace Can I Have?
Gas fireplaces are the most popular choice for remodel projects, because they are easy to operate and can integrate into any room. For gas fireplaces and stoves, the venting can even be as simple as straight out through the wall, minimizing disturbance to your home while safely exhausting outside. Also, the clearances to combustibles are built into the unit, called zero-clearance, so you know your home will be warm and safe.

Did you know you can get a new wood burning fireplace? There is a misconception that new fireplaces aren’t allowed to be wood burning, but it’s just not true. Wood burning fireplaces, stoves, and inserts are allowed as long as they are EPA-Certified. That means the wood burning appliance meets stringent pollution and efficiency standards, so today’s wood burning products are better for air quality, and are better at heating your home. All our wood burning units are EPA-Certified, and we consider that another one of our specialties. Wood burning fireplaces and inserts are also considered zero-clearance, so installing a new wood burning unit in your home is easier than you think.
What does Fireplace Installation Entail?
Your new zero-clearance fireplace can be installed into framing that creates a bump-in structure into any room. Adding a vertical design element for the fireplace within a room can create a focal point for a television, built-in bookshelves, or even the classic look floor-to-ceiling stone. You can complement the existing style of your home with other design elements around your new fireplace such as a hearth extension, mantle, stonework, or sleek modern tile.

If your home is already as cozy as you’d like and you don’t want to give up any living space to your new fireplace and hearth, we can usually build bump-out framing on the exterior of your home so your new fireplace doesn’t protrude into your living area. This is popular for those who want a seamless look of the fireplace set into the wall. With this option, you get all the safety features and benefits of having a warm and beautiful new fireplace while preserving the entire living environment of your room, balancing your need for space with your need for warmth.
If you already have a fireplace in your home, we can improve it. It’s not as complicated as it may seem to remove an old, inefficient factory-built fireplace and replace it with a new, beautiful and powerful heater. If you wish to update your old masonry fireplace, there are many design options for putting an insert into the old firebox that will take your fireplace from outdated and ugly to efficient and elegant. Also, we can custom-size doors in a nearly infinite combination of metal finishes, shapes, door styles, glass tint, and more.
