WHAT WE DO

Your fireplace is the center of the room — it should look like it.

Most fireplaces in North Texas homes were built by the builder, not by someone who was thinking about how you'd actually live in the space. Generic tile, basic mantels, and dated brick — functional, but forgettable.

A fireplace remodel changes that. We replace surrounds, build custom mantels, install stone, tile, and modern finishes, and upgrade hearths — all designed around the way your room actually looks and feels. Whether it's a builder-grade refresh in Prosper or a full transformation in a McKinney living room, we handle the design conversation and the build.

WHY IT MATTERS

Your fireplace is the first thing people see when they walk into the room. If it looks like 2005, the rest of the room feels like it too — no matter what you've done with the furniture or paint. A remodel isn't just cosmetic. It's the single highest-impact upgrade you can make to a living space without moving walls.

What every North Texas homeowner should know about fireplace remodel and upgrades

The fireplace is one of the few features in your home that anchors an entire room. When it's outdated — old tile, worn brick, a mantel that doesn't match anything — it drags the whole space down. A remodel brings it back to center.

Popular remodel styles in North Texas

Floor-to-ceiling stone for a modern farmhouse look. Clean-lined tile with a floating mantel for contemporary spaces. Painted brick with a custom wood mantel for a transitional feel. Shiplap surrounds for a casual, textured look. Every home is different — we design around the room, not around a template.

Gas fireplace upgrades

If you're still running an old gas insert or an original builder-grade unit, an upgrade improves both the look and the efficiency. New inserts produce more heat, use less gas, and come with modern features like remote ignition and adjustable flame height.

Signs your fireplace is ready for a remodel

  • Cracked, chipped, or discolored tile or brick surround

  • Mantel that doesn't match the style of the room

  • Outdated hearth materials or proportions

  • Heat damage or staining on the surround

  • You've remodeled the rest of the room but skipped the fireplace

FIREPLACE REMODEL FAQS

Still have questions? Take a look at the FAQ or reach out anytime. If you’re feeling ready, go ahead and request an estimate.

  • Most remodels take 1–2 weeks depending on the scope. A simple surround and mantel swap can be done in a few days. Full floor-to-ceiling transformations take longer.

  • It depends on the condition. If the firebox is functional and safe, we build around it. If there's damage or you want to upgrade the insert, we handle that too.

  • Stone, natural and manufactured. Porcelain and ceramic tile. Brick. Wood mantels — stained, painted, or reclaimed. Shiplap. Marble and quartz. We'll bring samples to the consultation.

  • Consistently. A fireplace is one of the most-searched features in North Texas real estate listings. A modern, well-finished fireplace makes the room — and the listing photos.

  • That's the whole point. We design around your space — your floors, your paint, your furniture, your style. Not the other way around.
