Fireplace Remodels, Refacing & Makeovers

Fireplace Makeovers for Outdated Brick, Tile and Old Surrounds

Many fireplace remodels start with the same problem: the fireplace still works, but the look no longer fits the home. Heavy brick, old tile, mismatched stone, oversized mantels and builder-grade surrounds can make the fireplace feel disconnected from the rest of the room.

A fireplace makeover can update the appearance without always requiring a full tear-out. Depending on the current fireplace and the finished look you want, Badgerland Fireplace can help with:

• Fireplace refacing
• Brick fireplace makeovers
• Stone veneer fireplace updates
• New fireplace surrounds
• Custom fireplace mantels
• Hearth replacement
• Tile fireplace updates
• Fireplace wall design
• Fireplace and TV wall updates

Whether the goal is a cleaner modern fireplace, a warmer traditional look or a full floor-to-ceiling fireplace feature wall, the right remodel can make the fireplace feel intentional again.

Fireplace Refacing vs. Full Fireplace Remodeling

Fireplace refacing and fireplace remodeling are closely related, but they are not always the same thing. Fireplace refacing is usually the right choice when the fireplace itself can remain in place and the main goal is to update the visible materials around it.

Refacing may include adding stone veneer, replacing tile, installing a new mantel, updating the hearth or changing the surround. A full fireplace remodel may be better when the fireplace wall, hearth, mantel, facing material, layout or fireplace unit needs more significant work.

Badgerland Fireplace can help you decide which approach makes sense after reviewing your current fireplace and the finished look you want.

Stone Veneer Fireplace Remodels Installed by Experienced Masons

Stone veneer is one of the most popular ways to transform a fireplace. It adds texture, depth and a finished architectural look without requiring the weight and structure of full natural stone.

Badgerland Fireplace has full-time stone veneer masons who install veneer for interior fireplace projects, exterior accents and full stone veneer walls. For fireplace remodels, stone veneer can be used to:

• Cover outdated brick
• Replace old tile or flat facing material
• Create a floor-to-ceiling fireplace wall
• Add texture around a gas fireplace or insert
• Build a stronger focal point in a living room
• Coordinate the fireplace with other stone or exterior materials

Badgerland Fireplace works with stone veneer products from trusted brands including Cultured Stone, Eldorado, Dutch Quality, Pro-Line, Boulder Creek and Stone Universe. With the right stone profile, color and layout, a stone veneer fireplace can feel like it was always part of the home.

What Affects the Cost of a Fireplace Remodel?

The cost of a fireplace remodel depends on the size of the fireplace, the materials selected and the amount of work needed. A simple mantel replacement or fireplace refacing project will usually differ from a full fireplace wall remodel with stone veneer, a new hearth, a fireplace insert or TV wall changes.

The best way to understand fireplace remodel cost is to review the existing fireplace and the finished look you want. Badgerland Fireplace can help you compare options and choose a remodeling approach that fits your home.
