A fireplace for a home you're building on
Adding a room to the house and want a fireplace in it? It's far easier to plan during the addition than to add later. The footing, the framing, the chimney route and the outside air can all be built in from the start.
Working with your builder, our specialists sort out where the fireplace goes, what the framing needs and how the chimney or vent will pass through the new roof. The quote separates our work from the builder's. Planning early saves opening finished walls later. Reserve a fireplace planning visit for your addition in Fanning Springs by phoning (352) 675-6366.
Fanning Springs is home to Fanning Springs State Park. The Gainesville reference point is roughly 35 miles from Fanning Springs as the crow flies.

Local Conditions
Rooms with a TV wall
Want the fireplace and the TV on the same wall in Fanning Springs? Some units are made for that, with the heat directed away from the wall above. Our pros check the clearance chart of each unit you like and recommend ones that suit a TV above, before the wall is framed. The mantel height is planned from the same chart.
Our Process
Four stages of a new fireplace
-
Look at the room
The wall, floor, attic and roof are looked at, then the fireplace options that fit are laid out.
-
Plan and price
You choose a unit, and the quote lists every part, trade, permit and inspection.
-
Install and check
The unit and its chimney or vent go in to the manual, with clearances checked before walls close.
-
Test and hand over
The unit is tested, you're shown how to use it, and you get the break-in steps noted on the quote.

Metal system or brick built on site
One path is a factory-built fireplace: a metal firebox and chimney that were tested and listed together. It's lighter, quicker to install and fits more rooms, including upstairs ones. The other path is a masonry fireplace, laid up in brick or stone on its own footing, which is heavier, slower and more costly.
Both can burn wood, and both have rules: the factory-built unit follows its listing and manual, and the masonry fireplace follows the building code's fireplace chapter.
Our specialists explain what each would mean for your house, from the floor to the roof, and price both where both fit.
Routing a factory-built chimney
A factory-built chimney may permit offsets, but their angles, number and support must follow the actual system's instructions. Planning the route includes those limits before framing is opened. Fitting around an obstacle is not enough to establish that a proposed route is allowed.
Nothing is cut until the route is planned, with the ceiling joists and rafters it will pass checked and the maker's clearance to framing kept all the way up.
Where the route crosses a floor or ceiling, the maker's fire stops go in. The route is sketched on your quote so you know where the chimney will run.
How deep a masonry firebox has to be
Firebox proportions depend on the fireplace design. Standard masonry and Rumford-style arrangements have different requirements, and depth must be considered with the opening, throat and flue. Our pros discuss the proposed design before choosing dimensions or pricing the masonry.
Opening size, depth, throat and flue need to be planned together. Our pros explain the proposed arrangement and any questions that must be resolved before construction, rather than promising draft performance from a single dimension.
A Rumford-style fireplace has its own proportions and may be worth discussing where that design suits the project. Its appearance, construction and venting requirements belong in the planning conversation before it is compared with a standard masonry fireplace.

FAQs
Your fireplace installation questions, answered
Can I put a TV above the fireplace?
That's up to the unit. Each maker's clearance chart sets what can go above, and some units are made for a TV wall. Our specialists check before the wall is framed.
Why does a new fireplace smell at first?
Paints and materials in the unit cure during the first few fires. Makers advise opening windows and running a fan until it passes, and our pros give you the break-in steps spelled out.
