Turn a dated fireplace into the centerpiece of your living room. Stone surrounds, custom mantels, tile facades, and gas insert conversions — all done right by a licensed contractor.
Whether you want to update the look of an existing fireplace or do a complete overhaul, we handle every step of the project.
Stacked stone, ledger stone, natural stone, and stone veneer fireplace surrounds. Floor-to-ceiling or just the firebox area — we custom-fit every piece for a clean, professional look. A popular fireplace upgrade.
Porcelain, ceramic, marble, and slate tile fireplace surrounds. From sleek large-format tiles for a modern look to herringbone patterns for a classic feel. We handle substrate prep, heat-rated adhesive, and precision tile work.
Wood beam mantels, floating shelves, traditional painted mantels, and full mantel-plus-surround builds. We use solid wood beams that can be stained, distressed, or painted to match your style. Mounted securely into studs or masonry.
Ditch the wood-burning hassle. We install gas fireplace inserts into your existing firebox — gas line, vent liner, and insert, all inspected. Flip a switch and you've got fire.
Complete overhaul: new surround, mantel, hearth, gas insert, and built-in shelving or cabinetry flanking the fireplace. We take your fireplace wall from forgettable to the best feature in the room.
Cracked mortar, loose stone, damaged tile, or a sagging mantel — we repair and restore existing fireplaces. Sometimes you don't need a full remodel, just some solid repair work to make it look great again.
From the first conversation to the final walkthrough — here's how we make it happen.
We visit your home, look at the existing fireplace, and talk about what you want. Stone? Tile? Gas insert? We'll discuss options that fit your style and budget. This is free.
We put together a detailed plan with material selections, layout, and a transparent quote. If permits are needed for gas work, we handle that too.
Demo the old surround, prep the substrate, install stone or tile, mount the mantel, and connect gas if applicable. We protect your floors and furniture and keep a clean workspace.
We inspect every detail with you. Stone joints, grout lines, mantel level, gas operation — everything gets checked. If anything needs adjusting, we handle it on the spot.
Common questions we get from homeowners in Auburn and South King County.
Fireplace remodel costs vary widely based on scope — a simple tile surround update is the lower end; a full stone surround with custom mantel or a gas insert conversion is higher. We provide free detailed quotes so you know exactly what your project will run.
We install gas fireplace inserts into existing wood-burning fireplaces. The insert slides into your existing firebox, and we run a gas line and vent liner. Most conversions take a few days — we'll give you a firm timeline in your quote.
We work with stacked stone, natural stone (slate, marble, limestone), porcelain tile, ceramic tile, brick veneer, and shiplap or wood paneling for non-heat zones. Stacked stone is a popular choice right now — it gives a modern, textured look that works in both traditional and contemporary homes.
A basic surround update typically takes several days to a week. A full fireplace renovation with a gas insert, new surround, and mantel runs a couple of weeks. We'll give you a specific timeline in your written quote.
Cosmetic changes like new tile, stone, or a mantel usually don't require a permit. Gas insert installations and any work involving gas lines or venting do require permits and inspections — we handle that process. Structural work also needs a permit. We'll let you know exactly what's needed before we start.
