Why a fireplace is not priced from a catalog
The unit is the easy part of the price. What moves an installation is the route: how far the chimney runs, how many offsets it needs, what gets cut and headed off, how the chimney leaves the roof and what has to be patched around it.
Two identical units in two Bryceville houses can be very different jobs. So the estimate comes after we have walked the route, and it lists each part and each piece of labor on its own line, with no hidden fees. The unit's price is only one of those lines. Call (904) 920-5495 and our installation pros will plan the new Bryceville fireplace with you, free.
More than about six miles separate Bryceville from the coast. Bryceville sits about 22 miles from Jacksonville, measured directly.

How It Works
How our installation pros put in a fireplace in Bryceville
-
Route walked, hearth to roof
The room, the attic and the roof are checked for a clear chimney path before any unit is chosen.
-
Unit and chimney system chosen
A listed factory-built system from one maker, or a masonry fireplace on its own footing.
-
Framed, built and inspected
Framing and clearances follow the manual or the code, and the inspector sees them before the walls close.
-
Hearth, air supply and handover
The hearth extension and outside air go in, and we explain how to run the break-in fires.
Local Conditions
Hearths for new fireplaces in Bryceville
The hearth extension for a factory-built unit follows its listing and has to be easy to tell from the floor around it. A masonry fireplace's extension grows with the opening.
The plan for your Bryceville room draws the hearth to size before the unit is chosen.

What zero-clearance really allows
Zero-clearance describes where framing may touch a factory-built unit. It does not promise that nothing around it gets hot. The unit has standoffs, spacers built onto its top and sides, and the listing allows framing to rest against them. Everything else keeps the space the manual shows, including the air gap above the unit and around the chimney pipe. Packing insulation into those gaps, or framing tight against the chimney where the manual calls for space, defeats the test the unit passed.
We frame to the standoffs and leave the listed air spaces open. The inspector checks those gaps before the drywall goes on.
The combustion air duct
Outside combustion air reaches the firebox through a duct from an inlet on the exterior. On a factory-built unit, it is a listed component of the fireplace, installed as the manual shows. On a masonry fireplace, a listed duct is installed to its own listing.
Where a duct is not listed, the code keeps combustibles at least an inch from it within 5 feet of its outlet, and the passage into the firebox is sized between 6 and 55 square inches. We route the duct as short and straight as the framing allows. The kit's control at the firebox end closes it when the fireplace is not in use.
Planning the mantel before framing
A mantel is easier to plan than to fix. For a factory-built unit, the manual has a chart that sets the lowest height a combustible mantel can sit at for a given depth, and how far other trim can stand out near the opening. For a masonry fireplace, the code keeps combustible material 6 inches from the opening and limits how far it can project within 12 inches.
We mark the mantel height and depth on the framing plan so blocking goes in at the right height and the mantel you choose later fits the rules. A mantel bought first and fitted later is the one that ends up too low.

FAQ
Before any wall is opened
Can the new fireplace use my old chimney pipe?
Only if the new unit's manual lists that pipe. If it does not, the chimney is replaced with the system the new unit was tested with.
Can a new fireplace go on an upper floor?
Yes for a factory-built unit, because it sits on a framed floor and its chimney runs up from there, as long as the floor framing is sized for the load. A masonry fireplace needs a footing at the ground, so it has to rise from the lowest level.
