Summertime Fireplace Makeover

Are your fireplace’s best days in the rearview mirror? Do you want to spruce up your living space but need help with what to do with the fireplace? Get ready for a summertime fireplace makeover! The warmer and drier weather this time of year in Houston, San Antonio, and the South Texas region is an ideal opportunity for updating your hearth to make it the centerpiece that will be the highlight of your home. Whether simply replacing the wood mantel and surround set with something more decorative or increasing safety and efficiency with a new fireplace insert, summertime is the best season to get it done. And here’s the best part. You will have a beautiful warm, and cozy fireplace to christen the upcoming winter holiday season.

Increase Energy Efficiency with a Fireplace Insert

A fireplace insert is a self-containing heating appliance designed to fit right inside your firebox. It’s a fantastic way to give your fireplace a summertime makeover that won’t break the bank. Plus, they are extremely energy efficient, providing powerful gas or wood heating for an entire room while reducing energy costs.

Changeout Your Older Manufactured Fireplace

Many homes in The Woodlands, Spring, TX, and surrounding neighborhoods in the Greater Houston area were installed with a builder’s grade manufactured fireplace. Fabricated in a factory and installed on-site, manufactured fireplaces are more affordable than traditional masonry appliances. However, those over 10 to 15 years old have reached their end of life and need replacement.
With summer being the slow season for fireplace and chimney contractors, why not carve out some time for a fireplace changeout? You will beat the mad rush as colder weather approaches and find better availability and higher quality gas and wood-burning manufactured heating appliances at great prices.

Creative Ideas for Updating the Fireplace Mantel and Surround

• A minimalist approach. Choosing a mantel and surround made from sleek materials such as marble or granite is an ideal way to incorporate a minimalist design. It’s clean lines and smooth surfaces will give your fireplace a contemporary feel that complements any decor.
• Use natural materials. Consider using reclaimed wood, metal, or even colorful Mexican tiles for a truly one-of-a-kind fireplace mantel and surround that looks like an art piece. It will add an element of visual interest and texture to your living area, making your beautiful hearth a striking focal point.
• Add a touch of South Texas luxury. Installing an oversized mirror, an antique painting, or even a large decorative clock above the mantel is a bold addition that will instantly elevate the appearance of your fireplace and create a sense of grandeur in your living space.

Create An Inviting Outdoor Living Space

Installing a stunning brick or stone-manufactured outdoor fireplace is a great way to create a cozy and inviting outdoor living space. Not only does it provide warmth on chilly evenings, but it also adds elegance and luxury to your patio or backyard.
