What affects the price

When you are looking at wood fireplaces, the final cost depends on several moving parts. Choosing between a pre-fabricated insert and a custom masonry build is the biggest factor. You also have to think about venting requirements, the type of chimney lining needed, and the finish materials like stone or brick veneer. If your home needs structural modifications to meet current safety codes, that will add to the labor hours. We look at your specific setup to provide a clear path forward.

Frequently asked in Chattanooga

Is it worth it to have a wood-burning fireplace in Chattanooga?

Will a wood-burning fireplace heat a house in Chattanooga?

Are wood-burning fireplace inserts worth it?
