Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Does a stone fireplace add value to a home?
Yes! A quality stone fireplace can boost home value by adding a premium feature that combines beauty and function, especially when used as a focal point in the living space.
Are stone fireplaces expensive?
They can be, depending on the materials used. Natural stone fireplaces are typically more costly than manufactured stone or faux stone, but all options can be customized to fit different budgets.
