FAQ's

What's the difference between a gas and wood-burning fireplace?

Gas fireplaces light instantly and require no wood storage, while wood-burning models provide authentic crackling heat and ambiance. Your choice depends on convenience versus experience.

Yes. We design and construct fireplaces directly on exterior walls using proper footings, flashing, and structural reinforcement to support the masonry weight and withstand weather exposure.

Most custom builds take two to four weeks from foundation to final mantel installation. Timeline depends on design complexity, material selection, and weather conditions during construction.

Building permits are required for new fireplace construction in most jurisdictions. We handle the permit application process and ensure all work meets local fire code and structural requirements.

Cracks result from thermal expansion, settling, or improper mortar mix. Minor cracks can be repointed with refractory mortar, but deep structural damage may require firebox rebuilding.
