Concrete Fireplace Renovation

Many homeowners across Ontario are looking to update their fireplace surrounds, often as a means to improve newly acquired century homes or to prepare their house for putting on the market. Updating a fireplace surround is a fantastic and easy option to choose when looking to upgrade a main feature in your home without committing to the demands of a major renovation.

So, You Want to Renovate Your Fireplace Surround?

Here’s How to Do It.

First, decide what you’d like to achieve from your fireplace renovation. Is your goal to change your home’s overall design aesthetic? Are you updating elements of your home in an attempt to modernize an old house? Are you looking to choose safe and environmentally friendly alternatives to interior design? Determine your ultimate goal, and set your budget to match these goals while taking into account other projects you hope to achieve in your home.

Next, discuss the makeover with your design team. You don’t need to hire a professional interior designer to update your fireplace surround – the team at Anthony Concrete Design is experienced in helping clients choose options that will fit their goals and budget perfectly. We will work with you, or your design team, to determine the colour and texture of concrete tiles that will best achieve your goals. We will find out the width of your fireplace, and what you need out of your mantle, hearth and wall tiles and offer suggestions and options based on our expertise and years of experience in the industry.

Then, we’ll make a plan. Before deciding on final details, we need to determine what existing elements need to be taken out, reframed, and/or built out. This will help us to work with you on the design stages, and provide a realistic timeline of the work that needs to be done as well as a budget outline.

Once we have a good understanding of your goals, your budget, and your renovation plans, we will work with you to make a design that best fits what you need for your home. We will provide a set of drawings to help you visualize the end result and ensure that we are going in the creative direction you love.

Finally, the time will come to install your new fireplace surround! The process of preparation and installation usually takes between 4 – 8 weeks, a relatively short timeline considering the massive change that a brand new fireplace surround will represent in your home. We will work with your schedule to make sure that the installation fits perfectly with your family or design team.
