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.

About this service
These units act as a retrofit for older masonry fireplaces that aren't heating well. By installing an insert, you gain a glass-fronted combustion chamber that burns fuel much more efficiently than a traditional open hearth. This is ideal if you want to keep the aesthetic of your brick fireplace while significantly increasing your home's warmth.
