Fireplace improvement, when correctly finished can add value to your home with resale and cut the high cost of heating.

Most fireplace remodeling and surrounds can be done over the existing surfaces. Our fireplace surrounds are created like furniture. We secure all fireplace surround joints with biscuits and glue. All fireplace surrounds are sanded smooth. Our fireplace remodeling will add value to your home.


Fireplace remodeling and surrounds is a Fine blend of skill, knowledge, and art

Our fireplaces surrounds are built on site, not a Home Depot fireplace surround kit or a Lowes fireplace surround kit. Your fireplace is unique to your home.

Fireplace remodeling can include some exotic woods for your surround, if your prefer. We have a supplier in the Grand Traverse County area which supplies us with Northern Michigan hardwoods. This can create a very unique fireplace.

For energy efficiency you can now look for EPA certified wood burning fireplace inserts and stoves that are designed to heat your home and reduce airborne pollutants by as much as 80 percent. For those who think you have to sacrifice looks in the name of efficiency, rest assured that these are some of the most attractive fireplaces and stoves on the market. We then offer to install these wood burning fireplace units to appear that the wood burning fireplace was originally installed with your home with a unique custom look. 
I have one in my own home and use the wood burner to heat my house. Typically our gas bills are around $45.00 per month.    -Ron Parko, Owner.

This Fireplace is the center of the wall and dominates the whole family room. The clients wanted to dress up the old brick faced fireplace. We drew up a few quick sketches of options for this fireplace. The clients chose the Estate type fireplace remodel. This is a very common fireplace remodel.

A typical Canton, Michigan brick fireplace. Painted brick. The brick was painted as an attempt to remodel the fireplace.

This is one of the extensive fireplace remodels. We stripped the brick off the wall exposing the fire box. Then following guide lines set forth by building codes, we remodeled this fireplace.

This fireplace surround is made from solid oak. And as always built on site.

The Above fireplace is ducted into the Home's furnace duct work and is used to heat the whole 1600 sqft ranch.



Wood buner inserts into your existing fireplace can help to reduce heating cost. As utilities seem to increase yearly, wood has stayed the same price for years. Remodeling your fireplace to be energy efficient can help recover the cost associated with the fireplace remodel.

This homeowner went through many contractors giving ideas and pricing for his old inefficient fireplace. He wanted a fireplace remodel that would help with heating his home. We came up with a solution that we both agreed on. Above is the solution. This fireplace is ducted straight into the heating system. The homeowner loves it. He can have the fireplace going and still sit in the room without being ran out from the excessive heat generated since it is pumped into the heating system of the whole house.

Fireplace remodeling can be done to please the senses and give the benefit to the rest of the house with the extra heat.

This client needed a fireplace remodel to dress up the existing brick fireplace. He attempted it himself and found it was more than he wanted to do. This actual worked out good for him. One of his problems was that he had no where for his audio equipment. He said he was going to convert the fireplace to gas since his television was placed over the fireplace mantle. We solved his problem by placing his audio equipment into the hearth in this fireplace remodel. The face of the fireplace is done in mosaic Travertine tiles with glass. The mantle for this fireplace remodel is designed by the homeowner to fit their taste and style.

Whether you’re thinking about selling your house or looking to get a mortgage or refinance a current mortgage, chances are an independent appraiser will look at your house and come up with a dollar figure for what it’s worth. And if you are considering remodeling, it pays to know what appraisers look for.

The home improvement expert at About.com listed these six items that appraisers look for when determining the market value of a house:

  • location
  • square footage
  • bedrooms
  • bathrooms
  • fireplaces
  • construction material
