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.

What's the best wood to use for burning in a fireplace?
The best wood for burning in a fireplace is seasoned hardwood. Think oak, maple, or pecan, which burn longer and hotter than softwoods. Always ensure the wood is dry, or 'seasoned,' meaning it has been cut and stored for at least six months. This reduces creosote buildup and provides more efficient heat. Avoid using green or wet wood, as it burns poorly and creates more smoke.
