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. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
About this service
An insert is a heavy-duty steel box that slides directly into your existing open masonry hearth. If your current fireplace smokes, drafts, or loses heat up the chimney, an insert is the solution. It essentially turns an inefficient, open-air fireplace into a high-performance heating system. We seal the unit to the chimney liner to keep smoke out and heat in your living space.

What type of wood is best for a wood burning fireplace?
The best wood for a wood burning fireplace is seasoned hardwood, like oak or maple. Seasoned wood has been dried for at least six months, making it burn hotter and cleaner. Avoid using green or wet wood, as it produces more smoke and creosote. Also, never burn treated lumber or trash. Proper wood selection ensures a safe and efficient fire.

What is a wood burning pen?
A wood burning pen, also known as a pyrography pen, is a tool used for decorating wood with heat. It's not related to heating your home with a fireplace or stove. It works by heating a metal tip that you use to draw lines and designs on wood surfaces. This is an artistic craft, not a home heating solution. We focus on fireplace and stove services.
