Fireplaces
Stone Fireplaces That Anchor the Room
Stacked stone, large-format panels, custom hearths — the focal point your living room is missing.
Fireplace surrounds and feature walls
A dated fireplace drags a whole room backward; a stone one carries it. Hometown Stone designs and installs fireplace surrounds in stacked stone, natural stone veneer, large-format porcelain panels, and tile — with custom hearths, mantel coordination, and floor-to-ceiling feature walls. Most surrounds install in under a week and change the room more than any furniture purchase will.

Styles we build
- Stacked stone — texture-heavy, classic-to-rustic, the most requested look.
- Large-format panels — seamless modern faces in porcelain or natural stone.
- Tile surrounds — pattern and color around the firebox, code-compliant clearances handled.
- Hearths & mantels — stone hearth slabs cut in-house; mantel installs coordinated.
- Media walls — TV niches, floating hearths, and integrated storage in one built feature.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you reface my existing fireplace?
Yes — most projects are refaces over existing masonry or framed chases. Demo of the old face, substrate prep, and the new stone or tile, typically inside a week.
Does stone work with a gas insert or electric fireplace?
Yes — we build to the clearance specs of your insert, gas, wood, or electric, and coordinate insert installation where needed.
Indoor only, or outdoor fireplaces too?
Both — outdoor fireplaces and fire features use freeze-thaw-stable stone and proper footings; see the gallery for outdoor living work.
