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
A wood burning fireplace insert is designed to fit inside your existing masonry fireplace opening to improve heating efficiency.

You need this if you have a drafty, inefficient fireplace that you want to transform into a powerful, modern heater. It is a smart way to upgrade your home without a full demolition.
