Professional Builtin Fireplaces in Phoenix

In Phoenix, where desert nights can be chilly, a builtin fireplace offers warmth and a premium focal point that enhances property value. CountBricks specializes in modern, gas, electric, and high-efficiency wood units that integrate seamlessly into new builds or renovations.

Understanding the Local Construction Market

With Phoenix's booming construction market, space-efficient designs are in demand. Builtin fireplaces that are sleek and wall-flush are popular for saving floor space while providing dramatic visual impact. Our designers work with architects to ensure proper venting and material selection suitable for Arizona's climate.

Key Design Considerations

• Footprint: Shallow fireboxes and zero-clearance framing protect valuable square footage.
• Fuel Type: Natural gas is abundant in Phoenix; electric inserts are ideal for remodels without gas lines.
• Surround Options: Stacked stone, stucco, tile, or modern drywall cladding complement Southwest style.
• Smart Controls: Wi-Fi thermostats and remote ignition integrate with home automation.
• Outdoor Extensions: Pass-through or two-sided units enhance indoor/outdoor living.

Material Selection for Durability

Stone Veneer offers authentic textures without heavy structural loads. Large-format tile provides a polished, contemporary feel and resists heat-induced cracking. For mantels, kiln-dried alder, maple, or steel ledges are used for stability in low humidity.

Cost Breakdown for Builtin Fireplaces

Typical costs for builtin fireplaces in Phoenix include:

• Structural framing and firebox: $1,800 – $3,200
• Venting or direct-vent kit: $700 – $1,100
• Gas line extension and permit: $600 – $950
• Electrical and smart control rough-in: $350 – $600
• Surround finish (tile/stone/stucco): $1,500 – $4,000
• Labor and cleanup: $2,000 – $3,000
