We turned this                     into this...
Kansas City, Missouri job, January 2001
The chimney was gutted out and repaired, a Bellfires fireplace is installed, then we rebuilt the tile surround and hearth, and reinstalled the gas fireplace, and mantel. 

We built a new black marble hearth for this home in Kansas City, MO.

Note: The old-fashioned coal fireplace look is back!  And if you can't use your fireplace for any reason, the new electric log coal replacement fireplaces look great.  We suggest purchasing the electric coal fireplaces from Fireside II, then we will install it and do any fireplace surround and hearth restoration for you. 

Before               After

An example of man-made stone work around a manufactured fireplace.  Man-made stone looks real, but it is lighter, easier to install, and less expensive than real stone. It comes in a large variety of colors and designs.
