When the Carter family purchased their 1980s ranch in Morgan Ridge, the existing metal pre-fab fireplace was drafty and outdated. They wanted a statement masonry hearth that could heat the open-concept living area during power outages. Here’s how CountBricks made it happen:
1. AI-Driven Budget – In a 15-minute call, our platform produced a $18,450 estimate covering demolition, new firebox, Tennessee fieldstone veneer, and an oak mantel.
2. Blueprint Takeoff – Laser scanning revealed a hidden ceiling joist conflict. The software recalculated material counts and pivoted to an offset flue, adding only $620.
3. Permitting Speed – Because CountBricks stores Knoxville’s latest IRC amendments, our submission cleared in two business days, shaving a week off the timeline.
4. Craftsmanship – Two master masons laid 1,200 pounds of stone in a stacked-bond pattern, finishing three days early thanks to synchronized deliveries tracked in the app.
5. Performance – Post-installation thermal tests showed the fireplace could maintain 72°F in the 1,200 sq ft living zone with outside temps at 30°F—no HVAC needed.
• Opt for a top-sealing damper—it paid for itself in one winter by stopping downdrafts.
• Request an outside air kit if your home has tight modern insulation.
• Use reclaimed oak for the mantel; it resists checking better than softer pine.
