Fireplace InstallationInstallation

We take pride in the elegant, rustic, and relaxing fireplaces we build. Our designers and contractors collaborate with clients to select the perfect type of fireplace for their lifestyle and ensure the design elevates their living space.

A fireplace is more than just a heat source; it is the architectural heart of your home and a cornerstone of family comfort. At MDM General Contractors, we specialize in premium fireplace installations that combine sophisticated design with rigorous safety standards. Whether you are looking to install a sleek, modern linear gas fireplace, a classic wood-burning hearth, or a ventless electric unit, our design-build team manages the entire technical process—from gas line integration and chimney structural checks to custom mantle masonry.

FAQs

Do I need a permit to install a new fireplace?

Yes. In most parts of California, a permit is required for new gas lines or structural changes to a chimney. We handle the entire permitting process for you.

Can I put a TV above my fireplace?

Yes, but it requires specific heat-shielding and mantle depth to protect the electronics. We specialize in "TV-Ready" fireplace designs.

What is the difference between vented and ventless fireplaces?

Vented units exhaust fumes outside, while ventless units use a specialized burner. Local codes vary on ventless units, and we will guide you on the best legal option for your home.
