About Katy fireplace work

Why custom-home and remodel work in Katy
matters to us.

Katy custom homes typically include an outdoor living plan from day one, and the fireplace is part of it. We work the master-planned communities here on both new-build outdoor builds and second-pass interior remodels.

We have worked on homes across Katy neighborhoods including Cinco Ranch, Cross Creek Ranch, Firethorne, Falcon Point, and Seven Meadows.

Common questions

Katy fireplace FAQs.

Do you travel to Katy for fireplace work?

Yes. Katy is within our regular Texas service area. We base out of Houston but travel statewide for fireplace installs, swap-outs, and custom builds. For larger jobs in Katy we'll do a free site walk before any quote is finalized.

How long does a typical fireplace install take in Katy?

Most residential fireplace installs run 5 to 10 working days from start to finish, including permitting where required, framing, venting, masonry or surround, gas line, electrical, and finish. Larger custom builds in Katy can run 3 to 6 weeks depending on the scope of trade work involved.

Do you handle the permitting in Katy?

Yes. Fireplace work in Katy that involves new gas lines, structural framing, or chimney construction typically requires permits. We pull the permits, schedule the inspections, and provide the final paperwork at handoff. Our office is in Houston so we're familiar with municipal-code differences across Texas jurisdictions.

Will you work with a Katy custom-home builder on a new build?

Yes. We work alongside several Katy custom-home builders as a fireplace trade. Coordinating with the builder's framer and finisher early in the project is the difference between a fireplace that looks right and one that fights the architecture.
