What we build

Fireplace surrounds built around your firebox

Every surround is drawn for one fireplace in one home, then milled in our Arlington shop and installed to sit plumb, level, and finished around the hearth.

🔥

Custom Wood Mantels

Solid hardwood and paint-grade mantels carved, molded, and mounted to your firebox, from clean modern beams to layered traditional profiles.

🏯

Floor-to-Ceiling Surrounds

Full-height millwork that carries the fireplace all the way to the ceiling, turning a flat wall into the anchor of the room.

📚

Flanking Built-In Cabinetry & Shelving

Cabinets and display shelving built to either side of the firebox for symmetry, storage, and a finished, custom look.

🪛

Shiplap & Paneled Fireplace Walls

Shiplap, board-and-batten, and raised-panel treatments that wrap the whole fireplace wall in crafted, textured millwork.

🪨

Mixed Wood-and-Stone Surrounds

Warm hardwood mantels and casework paired with your stone or tile facing, detailed so the wood and masonry meet cleanly.

📺

Media-Plus-Fireplace Combinations

Surrounds designed to seat a mounted television above the firebox with hidden wiring and cabinetry for components below.

How it works

From your firebox to a finished surround

01

Fireplace Consult & Measurement

We measure the firebox, hearth, and wall, confirm clearances, and talk through the mantel and surround style that fits your room.

02

Surround Design & Material Selection

You see the surround before we cut a board, and choose woods, profiles, paneling, and finishes together.

03

Milling & prep in the Arlington shop

Your mantel and surround are milled by our own carpenters with real joinery, then prepped and pre-finished for install.

04

Precise Mantel & Surround Installation

We set the surround plumb and level, scribe it to your wall and hearth, and leave the space clean and finished.

Why Arlington homeowners choose us

A lot of fireplace surrounds are ordered as a kit and bolted to the wall. Ours are drawn for your firebox, milled in our own shop, and installed by the people who made them, so the mantel, the reveal, and the finish all line up.

Questions

Fireplace surrounds, answered

Q. How long does a fireplace surround take?

Most surrounds and mantels are designed, milled, and installed within a few weeks. Timeline depends on the size of the surround, the finish, and your material selections, which we confirm at your consultation.

Q. What does a custom fireplace surround cost?

Because every surround is built for a specific firebox and wall, we quote each project after an in-home consultation. Your estimate reflects the size, materials, mantel profile, and finish you choose, with no surprises after.

Q. Can you build around a gas, wood-burning, or electric firebox?

Yes. We design the surround to your firebox type and keep the required clearances to combustibles, so the mantel and casework sit at safe, code-conscious distances from the firebox.

Q. Can the surround match my existing trim and cabinets?

We scribe and finish each surround to blend with your room's millwork, so the mantel and flanking cabinetry read as part of the house rather than a piece set against the wall.

Q. Which areas do you serve?

Our shop is in Arlington and we build fireplace surrounds for homeowners across the Dallas Fort Worth metroplex.
