Considering a wood-burning fireplace for your Richmond residence? The charm of a crackling fire is something special, especially during the cooler months here. Many homeowners in the Fan District or Museum District are curious about upgrading their existing fireplaces for better efficiency or adding a completely new one. We can help you answer questions like 'Is it worth it?' and 'How much does it cost?'

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.
