"Sta-Built was the only company of the four contacted that followed through with a bid. They have great references. Ryan helped with the design. We did not think to include lighting and it was an excellent suggestion and decision. Hector and his crew showed up as scheduled and finished the job in two days. Hector assisted in making the right paver and color choices. We couldn't be happier with the end result. We will definitely hire again!"

"The project included a purchase of a new fireplace and a remodel of the mantel and fireplace surround.  I contracted with Jake of Scatter Creek Construction earlier in the year for a roofing repair/remodel and was highly satisfied with the project. This project required three phases. First the removal of the old mantel and surround as well as the preparation for removal of the old fireplace.  The second phase was the installation of the new fireplace.  The third was remodel of the fireplace wall including a mantel, tile surround, and box insert for the multimedia center.    Scatter Creek was contracted for phase 1 and 3.  A local fireplace retailer handled phase 2.  Jake and I met to review the conceptual design and plan the work.  He explained the work breakdown structure, sequence of events, and the expected time frames to complete the different work activities.   The primary materials needed were to select the type of tile for the fireplace surround and the wood type and design for the mantel shelf.  I did most of my research on the web, went to local home improvement stores to view the tiles and mantels we had in mind, and sent pictures and web links to Jake for him to provide the bid. He estimated that the project work would take less than a week to complete. Jake was hard to get hold of and, when I questioned if he was interested in the project, he finally got back to me. Because of the delay in getting the bid finalized we missed an opportunity for the fireplace installer consequently delaying the project for 25 days.  I removed all the furnishings in the room except for the couch and love seat, which Jake offered to move.  When Jake arrived for the room prep he was not equipped to move the furniture but covered it instead.  My wife fretted over the furniture for the duration of the project. Jake was responsible for the fireplace removal prior to the fireplace installation.  When the fireplace installer arrived the fireplace hadn't been removed.  Fortunately the fireplace retailer worked with us and convinced his installer to remove the old unit for an additional price.  Jake offered an apology and covered the costs but did not provide a good reason for the mix up.  The wall construction and tiling was dirty work and although Jake cleaned up some at the end of each day there was still a considerable amount of dust throughout the house.  At one point I had to inform Jake that the dirt left on the brand new fireplace during the tile and grout work left me pretty frustrated with the process.  The job also took three weeks to complete which didn't seem unreasonable considering the work performed but definitely was disappointing for my wife who felt she was promised one week to complete. At the conclusion of the project the outcome came out just as I had visualized and what Jake had convinced me he could do in his proposal.  I thought the pricing was fair, the craftsmanship was superior, and we are enjoying our remodeled living space.   Although the outcome was a success, the process had it's flaws with miscommunications, an over promise and under delivery on completion date, and at times the poor condition of the area of the house being worked on."

Fireplaces FAQs, answered by experts

You can build a fireplace on an existing house, but it’s much easier to construct a masonry fireplace when building a new house. To add to an existing house, you’ll need to build a chimney and ensure the foundation can support a true masonry fireplace. Alternatively, you can purchase a gas or electric fireplace insert, which isn’t as complicated to add to an existing structure.

Pellet stoves are safer than wood stoves in many ways. They don’t produce as many creosote deposits as wood stoves do, they create less smoke, and the flames are contained, decreasing the risk of any sparks or embers creating a house fire. Pellet stoves also burn more cleanly and efficiently than wood stoves do.

A fireplace's lifespan varies significantly depending on its type, the quality of construction, the materials used, and how well it is maintained. On average, you can expect a fireplace to last between 10 and 30 years, with many homeowners experiencing major issues after about 20 years.

Here's a breakdown by type:

  • Gas Inserts: Typically last 10 to 25 years with proper maintenance.

  • Electric Fireplaces: Have a lifespan of up to 20 years.

  • Traditional Brick Fireplaces: Can last for centuries, but require ongoing maintenance and repairs, such as tuckpointing.

Running a gas fireplace is potentially cheaper than using central heating if you are heating a single room and don’t need to heat the entire house. That's because gas fireplaces are a better source of direct heat, making them more efficient for warming small spaces. Central heating, while more efficient for whole-home warmth, uses more energy overall. Strategically using a gas fireplace, therefore, can help lower heating bills.

Homeowners can conduct basic visual inspections and cleaning, but professionals provide thorough checks that identify hidden issues safely.
