A fireplace can provide wonderful aesthetics and well as bring a warm and cozy feeling to any home. It’s no wonder that fireplaces are highly sought after to potential homebuyers. Furthermore, fireplaces add anywhere from $1,000 to $5,000 more value to any home. With all the benefits that a fireplace adds to your home, you may be thinking that it’s time to add a fireplace to your home. If you’re thinking about adding a new fireplace, our masonry experts at TN Chimney & Home can help build and design your chimney.
Building a new fireplace takes an incredible amount of skill and experience. Whether you’re replacing an old fireplace or building a new one, putting in a new fireplace is a big construction project with a lot of factors that need to be taken into consideration.
Budget
There are a number of things that affect the budget of installing a fireplace including the materials being used, the type of fuel you would like to burn, and the design and size of your fireplace. The cost of labor will also affect your budget. Our fireplace design specialists will discuss and break down the cost of your new fireplace and try our best to fit your budget. We’ll also keep your budget in mind during construction so you aren’t burdened with any surprise costs.
Placement
The placement of your fireplace is critical to your ability to install a new fireplace. Your fireplace has to have the proper clearance of combustible materials, your home has to be capable of supporting the weight of your fireplace choice and there needs to be enough wall space for your fireplace design to fit. If you choose an inexperienced mason to design and create your fireplace there could be some severe consequences to the look and integrity of your home’s structure. Our masons are Chimney Safety Institute of America (CSIA) certified and have an incredible amount of experience regarding fireplace design and construction.
Construction
Fireplace construction takes a lot of work and a lot of materials. It can be easy for the construction zone to become larger and messier if your mason isn’t organized. At TN Chimney & Home, we know that a new construction project can mess with the natural flow of your home. That’s why we will do everything we can to stay out of your way and keep your home clean during the construction phase.
