You will also need to consider the complexity of the chimney installation or venting modifications needed to meet local codes. Adding features like glass doors, blowers, or decorative mantels will also shift your total. We can provide you with exact pricing confirmed free on the call.

Since you aren't relying on the fireplace for heat, contractors can easily access your chimney and hearth without disrupting your daily routine.
