Transform Your Fireplace Into a Stunning Focal Point

Your fireplace should be more than just a heat source—it should be a beautiful focal point that reflects your style and enhances your living space. Whether you're updating a dated 1970s brick surround, creating a sleek modern look with stacked stone, or restoring a historic fireplace to its original beauty, fireplace remodeling transforms your entire room.

Homeowners throughout West Michigan are updating their fireplaces to match today's design trends while maintaining the cozy warmth that makes Michigan winters bearable. A fireplace remodel can be the single most impactful upgrade to your living room, family room, or master bedroom.

We specialize in all aspects of fireplace and hearth remodeling: full surround replacement, stone veneer overlays, hearth extensions, mantel installations, and floor-to-ceiling transformations. Our craftsmen work with natural stone, manufactured stone veneer, brick, and tile to achieve your desired aesthetic.

Can stone veneer be installed over existing brick? In most cases, yes. Stone veneer can be applied directly over structurally sound brick after proper preparation, often saving thousands compared to full demolition and rebuild. We assess your specific fireplace to recommend the best approach.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you install stone veneer over existing brick?

In most cases, yes. Stone veneer can be applied directly over structurally sound brick after proper preparation. This is often more cost-effective than removing the existing brick. We assess your specific fireplace to determine the best approach.

How much does fireplace remodeling cost?

Fireplace remodeling costs vary widely based on scope and materials. We provide detailed estimates after understanding your specific vision and design preferences.

How long does a fireplace remodel take?

Most fireplace remodels take 3-7 days of work time, depending on complexity. Simple veneer applications may be completed faster, while extensive redesigns with structural changes take longer. We provide realistic timelines and minimize disruption to your home.

Will my fireplace still work during the remodel?

You typically cannot use the fireplace during the remodel. Dust, debris, and wet materials need time to cure properly. We recommend scheduling fireplace remodels during warmer months when you won't need the fireplace for heating.

What's better for a fireplace - natural stone or manufactured?

Both are excellent choices. Natural stone offers unique character and prestige, while manufactured stone provides more consistent colors and easier installation. Budget, aesthetic preferences, and style goals all factor into the decision. We help you choose the best option for your specific project.
