A fireplace remodel changes the room. We reface surrounds in stone, tile, or brick, replace mantels and hearths, and convert wood fireplaces to gas or inserts, with the venting and clearances handled by the same crew.
Many Seattle fireplaces from the 1920s through the 1960s have painted brick, shallow hearths, and open fireboxes that send most of their heat up the flue. A remodel is the moment to fix all three: restore or reface the masonry, extend the hearth to the 16 or 20 inch depth the code requires, and add an insert that actually heats the room.
If you convert to an EPA-certified wood insert or a gas unit, you can keep using the fireplace during Stage 1 burn bans, when open fireplaces must go cold.
Refacing and mantel work are quoted from a site visit and your material choices. Conversions are quoted with the appliance, liner, and installation together so there are no separate bills. You approve a fixed price before we start.
Yes, after the surface is prepared and a proper substrate is applied. We check the firebox and clearances first so the finish is safe as well as attractive.
Cosmetic refacing does not. Installing an insert or changing the fuel type does, because it changes the venting. We tell you which applies to your project.
Refacing usually takes two to four days. Conversions with a new liner are typically one day.
