About San Antonio fireplace work

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

San Antonio mixes historic homes around downtown with newer hill-country builds in the northern suburbs. The historic work often calls for masonry restoration and chimney rebuilds; the new builds want custom outdoor fireplaces with stone surrounds.

We have worked on homes across San Antonio neighborhoods including Alamo Heights, Olmos Park, Terrell Hills, King William, and Stone Oak.

Common questions

San Antonio fireplace FAQs.

Do you travel to San Antonio for fireplace work?

Yes. San Antonio 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 San Antonio we'll do a free site walk before any quote is finalized.

How long does a typical fireplace install take in San Antonio?

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 San Antonio can run 3 to 6 weeks depending on the scope of trade work involved.

Do you handle the permitting in San Antonio?

Yes. Fireplace work in San Antonio 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.

Do you work on San Antonio historic-district homes?

Yes. San Antonio's King William and Monte Vista historic districts have specific masonry and chimney-restoration requirements. We've done full chimney rebuilds and firebox restorations on similar historic stock in Houston and Galveston.
