FIREPLACE
Feature fireplaces and surrounds that become the center of the room. Design, materials, and build managed end to end.
A fireplace feature wall reworks the surround, hearth, and material into the room's focal point. Purpose Design+Build designs the look, locks the budget, and manages the build.
A fireplace is almost always the thing your eye lands on first, so we treat it as the room's anchor. We design the surround, hearth, mantel, and the wall around it as one composition, choosing between tile, stone, plaster, or millwork. We coordinate any firebox or venting work with the right trades, then manage the build so the material transitions and the mantel proportions are right. The result reframes the whole room, not just the firebox.

How much does fireplace cost in Chicago?
Every fireplace project is priced after a paid design consult, not off a flat menu, because scope and materials vary. Request an estimate and we send a ballpark range within two business days, then lock a firm number at the consult.
What does the fireplace process look like?
We listen, design it with you, lock the plan and budget, match you with the right builders, and manage the build. You approve before anything is built.
