Running the furnace all winter gets expensive. We install wood-burning and gas fireplaces in Spokane Valley homes - masonry built from scratch or prefab units dropped in - with permits handled and inspections passed before you light your first fire.
Fireplace installation in Spokane Valley builds a safe, vented heat source in your home - either a masonry firebox constructed from brick on-site or a prefabricated unit installed as a complete system - with most prefab projects complete in one to three days, and full masonry builds typically taking one to three weeks.
Every fireplace requires a clear, sealed venting path out of your home. For wood-burning and gas units, that means a lined chimney or a dedicated metal flue running through the wall or roof. A poorly vented fireplace is both a fire hazard and a carbon monoxide risk - which is why the venting and flue work is the most important part of any installation. The Chimney Safety Institute of America maintains resources on safe chimney and venting standards for homeowners. If you have an older home with an unused chimney, our stone veneer installation service can give a new or restored fireplace surround the look of natural stone without the cost of full stone construction.
Spokane Valley winters are long, and running a central furnace as your only heat source gets expensive. If you find yourself turning the thermostat up every year and dreading the bill, a fireplace in your main living area lets you heat the room you are actually in without running the whole house. Many homeowners in the area add a fireplace specifically to reduce reliance on forced-air heating.
Many mid-century homes in Spokane Valley have a brick chimney that once served an oil furnace or coal stove removed decades ago. If your home has a chimney like this, it may be structurally sound and reusable - but it needs a professional inspection before you assume it is safe. A masonry contractor can assess whether it can be adapted for a new fireplace or whether it needs to be rebuilt.
If lighting a fire sends smoke curling into your living room instead of up the chimney, something is wrong with the draft. This could mean a damaged liner, a blocked flue, or a firebox that was never built correctly. This is not a minor inconvenience - it is a carbon monoxide risk. A contractor can diagnose the problem and tell you whether a repair or full replacement makes more sense.
A fireplace is one of the few improvements that adds both function and visual presence to a room. If you are already opening walls or updating a living room or family room, it is often the right time to add a fireplace - the disruption is already happening, and the work can be coordinated with your other contractors. Spokane Valley homeowners who add fireplaces during remodels typically find the timing and cost easier to manage.
We install fireplaces across the full range - from custom masonry fireboxes built on-site with brick, stone, and heat-resistant liner to prefabricated zero-clearance units that can go in more locations throughout your home. A complete installation covers the firebox, the surround and hearth, and the chimney or flue system that carries combustion gases safely out. Gas connections are handled by a licensed plumber or gas piping specialist as part of the project - you get one point of contact and one quote that covers everything. For homeowners who want an outdoor cooking and entertaining space to go alongside a new indoor fireplace, our outdoor kitchen masonry service builds masonry outdoor kitchens, pizza ovens, and fire pits using the same materials and craftsmanship.
Every fireplace installation in Spokane Valley requires a building permit, and we handle that application and coordinate the city inspection as part of the job. If your home has an existing chimney that could be reused, we inspect and assess it before recommending whether to reline and reuse or rebuild - whatever saves you money without cutting corners on safety.
Best for homeowners who want a built-from-scratch brick or stone fireplace with a custom surround - the most durable and permanent option available.
A factory-built unit that installs in one to three days - lighter, faster, and less expensive than full masonry while still delivering a real wood fire.
Ideal for homeowners who want simplicity and year-round use - gas units start with a switch and are not subject to the Spokane Regional Clean Air Agency's burn restrictions.
For homes adding a new fireplace without an existing flue, or where the existing chimney needs a new stainless steel liner before it is safe to use.
The finishing work that makes a fireplace look right in the room - brick, stone, or tile surrounds and a hearth extension built to code clearance requirements.
Converts an inefficient older wood-burning opening into a clean, efficient gas unit - often the most cost-effective path for homes that already have an existing firebox and chimney.
Spokane Valley has a high desert climate with cold, snowy winters - average January lows drop into the mid-teens Fahrenheit, and the heating season runs roughly October through April. A well-installed fireplace here is not decorative; it is a practical heat source that can reduce your furnace workload and keep a room comfortable during power outages, which do happen during winter ice storms in this area. Masonry fireplaces carry real structural weight and must be built on a proper foundation - which is why eastern Washington's seismic requirements mean the permit and inspection process is not just paperwork, it is a safety check. The Spokane Regional Clean Air Agency also enforces burn restrictions on some winter days, which affects the type of unit that makes the most sense for your home.
A large share of homes in Spokane Valley were built between the 1950s and 1980s, and many of those homes have unused chimneys that once served oil furnaces or coal stoves. If your home has one, it may be a major cost advantage - reusing an existing chimney structure can save thousands compared to building from scratch. We work regularly across the valley, including in Spokane Valley neighborhoods with a high concentration of mid-century homes and in Post Falls where homeowners across the state line seek the same quality of work.
Let us know what type of fireplace you have in mind, where in your home you want it, and whether you have an existing chimney or opening. You do not need all the answers yet - this call is just to understand the scope before we schedule a site visit. We reply within one business day.
We come to your home, look at the space, check for an existing chimney or gas line, and assess what the installation will actually involve. After the visit you receive a written estimate that breaks down labor, materials, permits, and any subcontracted work - so you know the full cost before agreeing to anything.
Before any work begins, we apply for the building permit through the City of Spokane Valley. This typically takes one to three weeks depending on the city's current volume. You do not need to do anything during this step - the paperwork is completely on us. The permit fee is included in your project estimate.
We build or install the firebox, run the flue or chimney, finish the surround and hearth, and coordinate the city inspection. After the inspection passes, we walk you through how to operate your new fireplace safely - including damper use and, for masonry units, a few small break-in fires to cure the mortar before running a full fire.
We reply within one business day. Written estimate with full cost breakdown - no surprises once the work is underway.
(509) 508-5560Fireplace installation in Spokane Valley requires a building permit, and we handle every step - the application, the plan review, and the final inspection through the City of Spokane Valley. A permitted installation protects your home's value and your insurance coverage in a way that unpermitted work simply cannot.
The Spokane Regional Clean Air Agency restricts wood burning on some winter days - which affects the practical value of a wood-burning fireplace here. We explain those restrictions up front and help you choose a unit that fits how you actually plan to use it, including whether a standing pilot gas unit makes sense for power outage backup heating.
Labor, materials, permits, and any subcontracted gas line work are all in the estimate before you agree to anything. If we find something unexpected during the job, we stop and talk to you first - so the final bill matches what you planned for, not a number you find out about at the end.
You can confirm our Washington State contractor license through the Department of Labor and Industries lookup tool in about two minutes. Licensing means we carry the bonding and insurance required to work on your home - and it gives you real recourse if anything ever goes wrong.
We install fireplaces in Spokane Valley homes the way they should be installed - permitted, inspected, and built to last through decades of eastern Washington winters.
