Fireplace rebuild


BDAZ XX

Recommended Posts

A client hated the stone river rock FP in her newly purchased house and wanted it removed and rebuilt. She chose a picture from a FP book I had given her and this is what we built for her.

This would look great in a log cabin. But not so nice in a modern tract home.

Yes, it's a little Brad-sized door. :icon_lol:

What you're likely mistaking for a latch or small knob is the trim for a recessed gas valve. You stick a key in there to turn on the gas to the fireplace.

Again? I've seen the video, I haven't tossed you yet. :icon_redface:

Sorry for the hijack, Randy. Very nice work on the fireplace. Do you start with raw lumber and make your own trim, ect, or do you use pre-cut stuff?

Randy,

If you don't mind me asking, as I would love to do something like that in my house....how much did you charge?

I'd love to show that picture to a few contractors and see what type of price I get.

All I have around mine is sheet rock....no boulders like that one. So there is no demo involved.

Looks awesome.

Thanks

I used raw stock for everything Tim. Cut, routed, sanded and painted everything before installation. It's a one off in every way.

Dave, I charged the lady $2800 for demo and rebuild including material.

Thanks Randy....

My wife is going away for 2 weeks in December....and I am going to print out the before and after pictures and get a quote to have something similar done. When the bid comes in....I'll know if I am getting a fair price or not.

Thanks
