Fireplace Renovation Services in Orlando, Florida
Whether your fireplace in Avalon Park, Waterford Lakes, or Doctor Phillips needs a complete makeover or structural repairs, Renovating Central Florida LLC delivers expert craftsmanship backed by industry certifications. We assess every fireplace for safety, efficiency, and design potential, identifying cracks in the firebox, deteriorating mortar, damaged dampers, or outdated aesthetics that diminish your home's value. Our process begins with a detailed inspection and written estimate, ensuring you understand exactly what will be replaced, repaired, or renovated before any work begins.
Our fireplace renovation process starts with a comprehensive site inspection to evaluate the current condition, structural integrity, and building codes compliance for your Orlando-area home. We then discuss design options including surround materials (tile, stone veneer, brick, or shiplap), mantel styles, hearth upgrades, and whether to convert to a more efficient gas or electric system. After finalizing the design and timeline, our licensed contractors perform all necessary prep work, demolition, structural repairs, installation of new materials, and final finishing touches to create a showstopper fireplace that adds warmth and value to your home.

Our Fireplace Renovation Process
Initial Inspection and Assessment
We visit your home in Orlando, Kissimmee, or surrounding areas to inspect the fireplace, chimney, and surrounding structure. This inspection takes 45-60 minutes and includes documenting any damage, code violations, or safety concerns. We provide a detailed written report with photos and recommendations.
Design Consultation and Material Selection
Our design team meets with you to review fireplace surround options, mantel styles, and material choices. We discuss energy efficiency upgrades like gas inserts or electric fireplaces, which can be completed in 1-2 days. This phase typically takes 3-5 days from initial consultation to final design approval.
Preparation and Demolition
We protect your home with drop cloths and plastic sheeting, then carefully remove existing fireplace surrounds, outdated mantels, and damaged materials. Structural repairs to the firebox or chimney are assessed and completed. This phase typically takes 1 day for standard renovations.
Installation and Construction
New materials are installed including tile, stone, brick veneer, or custom surrounds. Mantels are secured, hearths are finished with proper sloping, and structural components are sealed. Most installations are completed within 2-3 business days depending on material complexity.
Final Finishing and Quality Check
We apply grout sealing, caulking, and final touches to ensure your fireplace is both beautiful and functional. A final walkthrough with you ensures all details meet expectations. We remove all debris and leave your home clean, with work typically complete within 2-5 days total.
