This fireplace restoration project began with a full tear-down to the original brick structure, revealing the aged masonry behind decades of interior remodeling. With the goal of creating a clean, modern centerpiece for the living space, the team stripped away old finishes and reframed the entire fireplace wall to accommodate a new gas insert. Throughout the project, care was taken to preserve the integrity of the existing brick while providing the structural support needed for updated venting, electronics, and a finished stone facade.
Electrical and gas line adjustments were completed to support both the new fireplace insert and modern tech integration—including mounted media, surround sound components, and recessed lighting. Strategic framing was put in place to support the mantle, television, and vent channeling without compromising the overall visual balance. Once the framing was secured, venting was rerouted, and the gas insert was installed, the project moved to finish work—where the transformation truly took shape.
The standout feature of this project is the textured stone tile finish, chosen for both visual impact and durability. With tight grout lines and a carefully staggered layout, the surface creates depth and light play, turning the fireplace wall into a striking modern element without overpowering the room. A custom-fitted mantle adds warmth and function, offering a transitional line between the organic texture of the stone and the smooth wall above.
The gas insert installation was completed with a sleek black trim kit, giving the firebox a clean, defined edge that anchors the composition. Combined with the surrounding tile work and matching hearth extension at floor level, the finished fireplace now functions as both a heating solution and a design centerpiece. Every detail—from cable routing behind the wall to custom framing that supports both weight and alignment—was handled with care to ensure a seamless result.
This fireplace restoration delivered more than just a visual update—it modernized the home’s heating functionality while dramatically enhancing the room’s aesthetics. By stripping back to the original brick, reframing for modern efficiency, and finishing with high-end materials, the final result strikes a balance between warmth, function, and architectural polish. The homeowners now have a reliable, easy-to-maintain gas fireplace that brings new energy to their space—wrapped in craftsmanship that’s built to last.
