Fireplace remodel costs vary by scope. A basic facelift — new surface finish, mantel refinish, and hearth tile — typically runs $3,000 to $5,200. An upgraded makeover with stone veneer or large-format tile runs $5,200 to $9,200. A fully custom fireplace redesign with built-ins and media integration starts at $9,200 and up. An on-site consultation will give you an accurate number for your specific fireplace.
It depends on scope. Cosmetic changes — new tile, stone veneer, or a mantel replacement — typically do not require a permit. Projects involving gas line modifications, structural changes to the firebox, or insert installations do require permits and licensed trade work. Parrish Construction manages all permitting and coordinates required licensed trade partners under our general contractor license.
A basic facelift typically takes 3 to 5 days. An upgraded makeover runs 5 to 8 days. A full custom redesign with framing, built-ins, and finish work takes 5 to 14 days depending on scope and material availability. We provide a clear timeline before construction begins.
Yes — many of our fireplace projects are focused updates rather than full rebuilds. Replacing just the tile, updating the mantel, or adding a stone veneer over an existing brick surround are all standalone scopes we handle regularly.
Yes — TV above fireplace integration is one of our most requested upgrades. We route conduit inside the wall, install recessed outlet and cable management boxes, and ensure the finished result looks built-in. We recommend planning TV placement during the design phase so mantel height and surround layout account for it properly.
