Why a Fireplace Remodel Makes a Big Impact

A fireplace isn’t just a heat source—it’s the heart of your living room, a central feature that brings warmth, character, and style. Whether you want to modernize an outdated design or create a new focal point, fireplace remodeling can dramatically enhance your home’s atmosphere.

At Vorsaw Remodeling & Construction, we specialize in custom fireplace makeovers that blend aesthetics with function—creating inviting, stylish, and safe gathering spaces.

Popular Fireplace Remodeling Upgrades

1. Modern Stone or Tile Surrounds

Swap outdated brick for a modern stone, porcelain, or tile surround that complements your interior design. Whether you want a rustic stone aesthetic or a sleek, minimalist look, we’ll match your style.

2. New Mantels and Custom Built-ins

From reclaimed wood mantels to floating shelves and integrated media centers, your fireplace wall can become a multi-functional design statement.

3. Gas to Electric Conversions

Interested in convenience? Convert a traditional wood-burning fireplace into a gas or electric model for easier use and cleaner indoor air.

4. Fireplace Inserts & Efficiency Upgrades

We install high-efficiency fireplace inserts that offer better heat output, lower energy bills, and safer operation.

5. Framing & Wall Resurfacing

We can reframe the entire area to create a feature wall with shiplap, concrete finishes, stone veneer, or built-in lighting to add depth and drama.
