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.

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.
