Fireplace Remodeling Services in Orlando, Florida
Fireplace remodeling is one of the highest-impact home improvements for Orlando-area homeowners, transforming an outdated heating element into a statement feature that increases living room functionality and home value. Whether your fireplace sits in a colonial-style home in Dr. Phillips, a newer suburban ranch in Avalon Park, or a lakefront property near Waterford Lakes, our team understands the architectural styles and material preferences across Central Florida's diverse neighborhoods. We've completed fireplace projects in Wedgefield, Goldenrod, Conway, and Belle Isle, working with everything from original brick and mortar to contemporary stone and tile finishes. A full fireplace remodel typically takes 2-4 days for standard surround updates, or 5-7 days for complete structural changes including chimney work.
The fireplace remodeling process begins with an on-site consultation where we assess the existing fireplace structure, discuss your design goals, and recommend materials suited to your home's style and budget. We handle removal of old brick, tile, or stone; chimney inspections; installation of new veneer, surround materials, and hearth treatments; and final finishing with grout, sealant, and trim work. For gas fireplace conversions or wood-burning to gas transitions, we coordinate with licensed gas technicians and ensure all work meets Florida building codes and safety standards. Project timelines and costs vary based on materials selected-natural stone typically runs $3,500-$8,000 for a standard surround, while manufactured veneer options range $2,000-$4,500.

Preparation and Removal
Our crew removes old fireplace surround materials, cleans the structure, and prepares surfaces for new installation. Removal typically takes 1-2 days depending on material type.
