Before, during and after your fireplace installation
Wood trim near a masonry opening
Combustible trim may sit on the face of a masonry fireplace, but not within a set distance of the opening. Trim close to the opening may project only a little. Edges of flooring, siding and drywall may meet the masonry at points the code defines.
We mark those limits on the masonry face so your finish carpenter can work to them. If a design sketch shows trim closer than allowed, we explain the change it needs. The goal is a face that looks right and keeps wood out of the hot zone.
Electrical work for blowers and kits
Some wood fireplaces accept a blower or heat-distribution kit that needs power. The manual shows where the outlet or wiring goes, and the National Electrical Code governs the circuit. A new circuit is an electrician's job, not ours.
We plan the location of any electrical box with the framing so it lands where the manual shows. The electrician's work appears on the estimate as a coordinated item, priced by that trade. You approve both before the walls close around the wiring. If you do not want a blower now, ask whether the model allows one later.
Comparing two fireplace installation proposals
Two quotes for the same fireplace can describe very different jobs. One may include the chimney, outside air and hearth extension, while another prices the unit alone. Compare the model, the chimney parts, the framing, the roof work and the finish boundaries line by line.
Ask each installer which manual they worked from and whether every chimney part belongs to the same listing. We are glad to walk you through our own proposal in that way. The cheaper total is only cheaper if the scope matches.
Attic hatches, light fixtures and a wood fire
A wood fire draws air from the room, and gaps between the house and the attic can compete for it. Manuals recommend sealed recessed light fixtures, a weather-stripped attic hatch and sealed joints on attic air handlers near the fireplace. These details help the fire get the air it needs.
We point out obvious leaks near the fireplace during the inspection. Sealing them usually belongs to you or another trade, and we list what we saw. The outside air supply then does its job without fighting air losses elsewhere.

Questions about installing a new fireplace in Magnolia Park
Who handles the wiring for a blower or fan kit?
An electrician. We place the electrical box where the manual shows while the framing is open, and the electrician runs any new circuit under the electrical code. The estimate shows that work as a coordinated item.
Do you set the tile or stone around the opening?
Only if the estimate names it. Often the finish belongs to a tile setter or mason. Either way, we mark the noncombustible zones and the mantel limit so whoever sets the finish works to the manual.
Where should furniture sit relative to the new fireplace?
Outside the clear space the manual prints for your model. Curtains, chairs and stored items stay back, and nothing combustible sits on the hearth extension. We point out the zone at handover so you can arrange the room.
