What Counts as a Fireplace Upgrade?
Upgrades range from focused improvements — new media, glass and interior panels in a gas unit — to more substantial changes like replacing a dated insert or refreshing the surround. The right scope depends on your existing system, your budget and what the room needs; part of our job is telling you which improvements will actually make a difference.
When Do You Need It?
Homeowners typically call us about upgrades when remodeling the living area, preparing a home for sale, or simply when the brass-and-smoked-glass unit from decades past has outlasted its welcome.
Common Warning Signs
- The fireplace looks dated next to the rest of the home
- An older insert that performs poorly or unreliably

- You're remodeling the room and the fireplace is the holdout

Upgrades Questions
Can I upgrade without a full remodel?
Usually. Media, glass, panel and insert upgrades transform many fireplaces without touching the surrounding wall. We'll tell you what's possible with your unit.
