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 St. Paul

Is it worth it to have a wood-burning fireplace?

For many St. Paul homeowners, the ambiance and potential for supplemental heat make it worthwhile. It adds a unique charm to your living space that electric or gas options can't quite replicate. The satisfaction of a real wood fire is a big draw, especially during long winters.

What is the most efficient wood-burning fireplace?

Modern EPA-certified wood-burning stoves and fireplace inserts are designed for maximum efficiency. They burn wood more completely, producing less smoke and more heat for your St. Paul home. When you call, we can discuss insert options that are known for their high efficiency ratings.

How expensive is a wood-burning fireplace?
Will a wood-burning fireplace heat a house?

A wood-burning fireplace can provide significant supplemental heat for a room or even a portion of your St. Paul house. For whole-house heating, especially in colder climates, it’s often used in conjunction with your primary heating system. Inserts are generally more effective at heating than open hearths.

Are wood-burning fireplace inserts worth it?

Yes, inserts are typically much more efficient than traditional open fireplaces, converting more of the wood's energy into heat for your home. They can also be a more cost-effective way to upgrade an existing fireplace in St. Paul. This makes them a popular choice for homeowners looking to improve heating performance.
