"In response to a request for someone to repair my Weber gas grill thru Angi’s list, I was contacted by Plano Masonry and Chimney. I was told they mainly do fireplaces and do not provide this service but recommended Jeffrey. Jeffrey contacted me within 30 min, on the Saturday afternoon before Memorial Day! A couple hours later, the grill was fixed and the brats were cooking! The owner of Plano Masonry and Chimney was awesome, going out of his way to help us. Jeffrey communicated his ETA, kept me informed throughout the repair process, which was quick and successful. He was very personable and we felt comfortable having him in our home. It was reassuring to know there are people willing to go out of their way to help, especially on a holiday weekend! Because of them, we celebrated on Memorial Day the way we had hoped."

"5 stars for the final product, 3 stars on the customer service experience. I contacted Akraba fully aware of their minimum but had a number of tasks and wanted to have the work done by professionals rather than trying to DIY it. This included replacing a window that would not open, replacing an interior double door with one that would lock, repairing the cosmetic damage around a skylight, and replacing a ceiling fan. Louie and Ily reached out immediately, listed to our concerns, requests, and HOA requirements and were able to not only provide a quote for the needed work but also quoted out replacing our fence at a more than reasonable price. While we did have some minor issues with the workers they sent (primarily regarding scheduling), Louie was very reassuring throughout the process and personally came to review and address each concern. Now that the work is complete both we and the HOA are happy with the work they did would recommend them to anyone that needs large projects done."

Most localities require permits for gas fireplace removal, especially when gas lines are involved or structural changes are planned. Permit requirements vary significantly between municipalities, so check with your local building department before beginning work. Working without required permits can result in fines and complications when selling your home. Your contractor should be familiar with local requirements and can often handle the permitting process as part of the project.
The timeframe for gas fireplace removal varies based on project complexity. Simple projects take one to five days, while complete demolitions involving chimney removal can extend to several weeks. Factors affecting the timeline include the fireplace's size, materials, accessibility, and whether structural modifications are needed. Your contractor should provide a detailed timeline after assessing your specific situation and identifying any potential complications.
Removing a gas fireplace may decrease your home's value by $1,000 to $5,000, particularly in regions where fireplaces are considered desirable features. The impact varies depending on your local real estate market and buyer preferences. In cold-climate areas or luxury home markets, the absence of a fireplace might make your property less attractive to potential buyers. Consider consulting with a local real estate professional before removing a fireplace if you're concerned about resale value.
After removing a gas fireplace, you have numerous options for the reclaimed space. Many homeowners install built-in bookshelves, create an entertainment center for a television, or simply extend their living area. The space might also become a decorative niche for artwork or a reading corner with comfortable seating. Whatever you choose, ensure that the area is properly finished to blend seamlessly with the rest of your room, with appropriate flooring, wall treatments, and lighting.
Converting your gas fireplace to electric is often a practical alternative to complete removal. This option preserves the aesthetic appeal of a fireplace while eliminating gas-related maintenance and safety concerns. Electric fireplaces offer simplified installation, cleaner operation, and adjustable heat settings.
The conversion process involves removing gas components, capping the gas line, and installing an electric insert. This approach can be more economical than full removal while maintaining a functional heating feature in your home.
Finding qualified professionals for gas fireplace removal requires researching contractors with specific credentials. Look for licensed plumbers with gas fitting certification to handle the gas line disconnection. For structural work, seek contractors with experience in fireplace removal and demolition. Request references from previous similar projects and verify proper insurance coverage. Obtaining multiple quotes helps ensure competitive pricing while allowing you to assess each contractor's expertise and approach to your specific project needs.
