More than a product install

The room changes when the fireplace feels intentional.

Whether you are adding a fireplace to a new space, replacing an outdated unit or finishing a full transformation, the right system has to fit the architecture as well as the way your family lives.

Our team evaluates the opening, venting path, fuel source and finish requirements before work begins. You receive a clear scope—not a one-size-fits-all guess.

“Clay installed two fireplaces in our new-construction home—one indoor and one outdoor. He did a fantastic job, always showed up as promised and communicated well throughout the project.”

Investment guidance

What shapes fireplace installation cost?

A simple insert replacement and a brand-new fireplace with framing, venting and finish work are fundamentally different projects. We quote the real scope rather than advertise a misleading flat price.

  • Fireplace type and appliance selection
  • Existing opening versus a new installation
  • Venting, chimney or gas-line requirements
  • Electrical, framing and finish materials
  • Indoor versus outdoor conditions
  • Permitting and site access where applicable

Frequently asked

Fireplace installation questions.

Need an answer specific to your home? Start a conversation and send a few photos.

Can you add a fireplace where there is not one now?

In many homes, yes. Feasibility depends on the proposed location, fuel or electrical access, venting path, clearances and local requirements. An evaluation is the right first step.

How much does a new fireplace installation cost?

Recent 1st Choice invoice data shows new gas fireplace projects from about $3,500 to $6,500, while other fireplace types and full finish packages vary. We confirm scope and provide a project-specific quote.

Do you install indoor and outdoor fireplaces?

Yes. Verified customer reviews document both indoor and outdoor installations. The planning requirements differ, so each project is evaluated individually.

Do you handle the surround or tile?

Some projects include finish work or coordination around the surround. Because materials and construction conditions vary, this is defined during consultation rather than assumed.

How long will installation take?

Timing depends on whether the project is a direct replacement, insert, conversion or full new build. Appliance availability and trade or permit requirements can also affect the schedule. We set expectations after evaluation.
