Our Fireplace Demolition & Removal Services
Removing a fireplace requires careful planning and execution to avoid damaging nearby walls, flooring, or structural elements. Our crew handles the complete teardown and disposal process for all types of fireplace units — start to finish.
We carefully dismantle and remove all types of fireplaces across a wide range of styles, materials, and construction methods — from classic brick and mortar setups to sleek electric or gas units — including:
- Brick or stone-built fireplaces
- Prefab wall-mounted or electric fireplaces
- Surrounds, mantels, and hearth structures
- Interior wall cuts, patching, and prep
Our crew uses dust-controlled methods and safe dismantling techniques to protect your home throughout the process.
Why Hire a Professional Demo Crew?
Fireplaces are heavy, dusty, and often integrated into framing or chimney systems. Improper removal can cause unintended damage to the structure of your home.
Our licensed and insured team provides:
- Structural awareness to avoid wall or ceiling damage
- Experience handling masonry, inserts, and framing
- Clean disposal of bricks, soot, and debris
- Prep for wall repair or remodeling after removal
We make a complex removal feel easy — and leave the space ready for what’s next.
What Affects the Cost of Fireplace Demolition & Removal?
Several factors impact the cost of your project. We offer fast, accurate quotes based on your layout and scope.
Your quote will depend on:
- Location and travel distance
- Material (brick, stone, metal, or prefab)
- Size and scope of demolition
- Chimney connection or freestanding unit
- Interior or exterior access to the unit
- Hauling volume and disposal site fees
Estimates typically require photos or site visit, but we respond quickly and work around your schedule.
