Professional Fireplace Facelifts & Restorations
How many times have you seen a home improvement show where the hosts or homeowners have lingered on an eyesore of a fireplace? Fireplaces draw the eye, so they’re almost always the focal point of the room in which they’re installed. Which means if you have a beautiful fireplace, it makes the room — and home — feel beautiful. If you have a sooty, damaged or just plain unattractive fireplace, there’s a good chance it’s bringing the space right down with it.
The good thing about the aesthetic weight a fireplace carries is that, with some improvements from Northeastern Masonry & Chimney — like a fireplace facelift or fireplace restoration — your appliance can get a serious boost, and your whole living space will benefit significantly.
What Does A Fireplace Facelift Or Restoration Entail?
The fireplace facelift or restoration process can include as much or as little work as the fireplace needs. Some homes with older factory-built fireplaces need to have the appliance replaced, and the facing redone along with it. Masonry fireplaces or prefabricated fireplaces that still have some service life left in them can benefit from repairs to the facing, or just a refacing with new materials. Northeastern Masonry & Chimney technicians can inspect your system thoroughly and suggest the best approach for bringing your fireplace to a whole new level of beauty.
Fireplace Facelift Or Restoration Materials
If you’re hiring Northeastern Masonry & Chimney to restore your fireplace or give it a facelift, you’ll have a wide variety of options for giving it a new look. The materials play a major role in that process. Different materials we commonly use will have different benefits and fit different tastes and budgets — we can go over a mix of options with you, and help you decide what makes the most sense for your fireplace and your home.
Tile
Tiles — from natural stone to glass or other man-made materials — offer an incredibly broad variety of aesthetic styles. We can turn your traditional fireplace into something clean and modern, or we can take a very nondescript fireplace and turn it into something bright, colorful and arresting. It’s all up to your taste — our technicians can take just about any design you can dream up and make it a reality.
Brick
Homeowners who are drawn to more traditional looks tend to like strong, resilient brick — but traditional isn’t your only option here. Depending on color and pattern, we can reface a fireplace to look warmly traditional or wholly unique.
Stone
If luxury is what you’re going for, marble or granite might be a great choice for your reimagined fireplace. Stark slate can also bring a classy, modern look to a room. Natural stone always feels like a timeless choice, but if you love that look and are concerned about the budget, you can also consider cultured stone. These materials can provide a look that closely matches the luxurious beauty of natural stone at a much lower cost.
Concrete
Lots of homeowners these days are drawn to concrete for a variety of uses, from countertops to floors, since it’s durable, sustainable, cost-effective and has a unique look. Concrete can be a great choice for fireplace facelifts as well, and your options are wide: You can choose a simple concrete look, or something with color and texture.
