What affects the price

When you start planning a fireplace installation, the final bill depends on a few major factors. Choosing between a simple electric unit, a gas insert, or a full wood-burning masonry build creates the biggest difference in cost. You also have to consider the existing setup of your home; running new gas lines or venting through a roof will naturally add labor hours compared to a straightforward swap. Finishing materials like custom stonework or mantel pieces also shift the total.

If you need a new dedicated electrical circuit run to the fireplace location, that will add to the labor cost. We provide exact pricing confirmed free on the call.

You will likely find more convenient appointment times and faster project turnaround.
