Does removing a fireplace decrease home value?

• <div><p>Every market is different, but the general consensus is that since a fireplace is a sought-after item in many homes, the removal of such a feature can negatively impact the value of your home. Therefore, if you plan on selling your house soon, don’t remove it. If you plan on living in your home for a long time, the removal of a fireplace can decrease your bills over time, as heat and air conditioning can both leak through a wood-burning fireplace’s chimney or the exhaust systems of a gas insert. </p></div>

Q: How do I choose a good home stager?

• <div><p>Choosing a high-quality home stager can mean the difference between your home flying off the shelves or sitting on the market for weeks or months, and it all starts with verifying the stager&rsquo;s experience. You can start by asking how long the professional has been in the business, and you should also ask for references and examples of past work in your particular area. Ask the stager about your options, including <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/virtually-staged-home.htm">virtual staging</a>, furniture rental, and other preparation services.</p></div>

Q: What should I consider when staging my home?

• <div><p>The main factors to consider when staging your home when selling are your budget, number of rooms to stage, and how long to keep the staged setup. Since home staging costs about <b>$600 per room</b> when using professional services, you may want to only stage the rooms that are most important to potential buyers, including the kitchen, living room, and primary bedroom. You should also consider which repairs or updates are necessary before staging your home, such as painting interior walls, carpet cleaning, and refinishing hardwood floors.</p></div>

Q: Do fireplaces increase your home’s value?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/do-fireplaces-make-your-home-value-hot.htm">Fireplaces increase your home&rsquo;s value</a> by as much as 12%. If you're looking to increase your home's value, consider installing an electric fireplace insert or a custom electric fireplace. You can take freestanding or wall-mounted fireplaces with you when you leave, so they will have less of an impact on the value of the home.</p></div>

Q: Does a fireplace add value to a home?

• <div><p>When built right, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/do-fireplaces-make-your-home-value-hot.htm">fireplaces increase the value of your home</a>. Fireplaces are both functional and aesthetically pleasing; home buyers will usually respond to the charm fireplaces can add. The only scenarios that could lead to a fireplace depreciating a property are the following: if it&rsquo;s in need of constant or immediate repair, is unusable, or isn&rsquo;t up to code. </p></div>

We contracted Ivan from out of state and he did a great job with the project. He stayed on schedule, kept us up to date with his progress, and sent us pictures of his work at each stage as we were not on site where the work was performed. We were very happy with the quality of work.
