Step 1: 

Choosing the fireplace of your liking with options can be overwhelming if you don't have the time to educate yourself on what fireplace you actually need, many dealers are not trained/educated or specialized in required facets of building trades. They typically have never installed a fireplace, so are you sure they can design one properly? I am an educated designer with an architectural design degree, a craftsman with years of hands on experience, and able to produce professional blue prints of designs, used as construction documents. Can a fireplace dealer produce professional construction documents? I will literally shop the top name fireplace manufactures with you personally and explain them in layman terms so you understand exactly what you are buying and to make sure the dealers are knowledgable and forthright up front. Once you've purchased the fireplace best suited for your situation we then design your ideas around it, using state of the art CAD technologies in harmony with your contractor, other trades, or myself as your project lead. At every step necessary, governed by the International Building Code or IRC. CAD is the ONLY way I accurately estimate the cost and timeframe of your complete project.

Step 2: 

Depending on your final design, I can build and install your/our creation, literally, anything we can conceive, dream, or budget, I can make a reality! Design is the most important step to make sure all utilities, venting, and customizations are installed safely, accurately, and within budget.

Step 3: 

One of the most important steps is the final set up, testing, and pre burning of the fireplace. This requires gas pressure adjustments, fine tuning of the burner systems, fuel conversions, and air adjustments set by the manufacturer. Believe it or not, for example, altitude can significantly affect how well and efficient your fireplace operates. These steps can only be done by an experienced professional.
