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 Port St. Lucie
Is it worth it to have a wood-burning fireplace?

Will a wood-burning fireplace heat a house?
A wood-burning fireplace can provide supplemental heat for your Port St. Lucie home. Its effectiveness depends on the unit's size, heating capacity, and your home's insulation.

Are wood-burning fireplace inserts worth it?
