FIREPLACE MAKEOVERS

New technology with fireplace inserts and innovations with non-combustible materials have allowed us to take fireplace design to a whole new level.  Do you have fireplace envy?  Are you ready for a cozy, warm fireplace in your home?

Here are some of the fireplace updates we’ve implemented.

COLONIAL TO CONTEMPORARY COPPER

Dining Room Fireplace Before:

ELECTRIC FIREPLACE INSERTS

Before:

After:

Before:
