Our Fireplace Installation Process
We take a turnkey approach—from planning to final flame—so every project is seamless, safe, and satisfying.
1) Consultation & Design
We start with your vision. During a free consultation, we discuss goals, layout, venting options, finishes, and budget. We’ll recommend the right unit, size, and surround for your Meriden home.
2) Site Preparation
We inspect existing chimneys or plan new vent paths. For new builds, we coordinate framing, hearth construction, and clearances to combustibles. Interiors are protected with dust control and floor coverings.
3) Installation
Certified technicians install and connect venting, liners, caps, gas or electrical lines, and controls. Each system is checked for safe, efficient operation and correct clearances.
4) Finishing & Surround Work
We handle visible finishes—stone, brick, tile, or drywall—for a cohesive, professional look. From rustic ledgestone to sleek tile, we tailor textures and colors to your design.
5) Safety & Performance Testing
We verify draft, airflow, and combustion. For gas, we test connections and flame characteristics. For wood, we confirm flue sizing and smoke-chamber transitions for optimal draft.
6) Cleanup & Orientation
We leave your home spotless and guide you through operation and maintenance. You’ll receive warranty details, recommended service intervals, and tips for the longest life.
