Fireplace Construction

What This Service Involves

Building a fireplace from scratch means coordinating structure, venting, clearances, and finish, and we manage all of it under permit. Every build meets Washington fire and building codes with proper hearth extensions and non-combustible clearances. We tie the design into your room so the fireplace feels original to the home rather than added on. Whether masonry or a framed surround for a manufactured unit, the result is a safe, beautiful focal point.

Our Process

Best Time of Year
