A Frisco Address That Earns Its Stone
frisco/" class="auto-entity-link" data-term="Newman Village">Newman Village is the quiet end of premium Frisco. Tucked in the northeastern stretch of 75033 and bleeding into 75034, it is a master-planned subdivision of custom homes built largely between 2010 and the present, with French Country, Mediterranean, and traditional architecture across lots that average a half-acre. Owners here are the founders, executives, surgeons, and trial attorneys who have moved to Frisco for the schools, the country clubs, and the fact that the new wealth of North Texas has made this part of Collin County the destination it is. The houses are big — 5,000 to 9,000 square feet is common, and 10,000-plus is not unusual — and the fireplaces inside them carry weight.
Space Fireplace Services has built and rebuilt fireplaces across Newman Village and the broader 75033/75034 corridor for years. Our work here is different from our urban Dallas work in scale and in sensibility. The rooms are larger. The mantels are taller. The stone is heavier. The clients, almost without exception, have an interior designer on retainer and a vision for the room that is already three-quarters resolved by the time we are called. We come in and quietly raise the last quarter to the level the rest of the house is held to. By appointment, with a senior project manager on every job.

About Newman Village
Newman Village began development in the late 2000s and has filled in steadily through 2025. The community is anchored by Stonebrook Parkway and Independence Parkway, with a private clubhouse, swim center, and tennis facilities. The subdivision sits within the boundaries of the Frisco ISD, with Newman Elementary, Pearson Middle, and Memorial High School the typical school assignment. The 75033 zip code includes Newman Village, the Trails of West Frisco, and several adjacent custom-home communities. 75034 covers the southern half of premium Frisco, including older premium subdivisions and the gateway to Stonebriar Centre and the country club corridor.
The architectural language of Newman Village is consistent. Houses are predominantly French Country, with steep slate or composition roofs, limestone exteriors, and the deep porte-cocheres that define the style. Mediterranean villas and traditional Texas-Tuscan are also common, often with stucco-and-stone exterior walls and tile roofs. A smaller share of houses are transitional or modern-traditional, and the latest builds in the community lean further in that direction. The fireplaces inside follow the architecture — limestone, cast stone, brick, with timber mantels and stone hearths. Owners almost always want a fireplace in the great room, the primary suite, the study, and the covered outdoor living area, with three or four masonry fireplaces per house being standard.
The owner profile is consistent and worth understanding. Most Newman Village families are in their forties or fifties, with one or two children, and they have moved to Frisco from Plano, Dallas, or out of state for the schools and the lifestyle. They are accustomed to a high standard of finish, they have completed at least one custom home before, and they are not price-sensitive on the right kind of work. They are extremely sensitive to schedule and to professional courtesy. Most of our Newman Village projects begin with a referral from another homeowner in the community or from one of the interior designers who works the corridor regularly.
Fireplace Considerations Specific to Newman Village
The houses in Newman Village were built to a high standard from day one, but the fireplaces in them often carry one of three problems by the time we are called. First, the original builder-grade gas insert has not held up — the burner is sooting, the glass is etched, the unit is fifteen years old and the manufacturer has discontinued parts. Second, the original surround was specified to a builder spec book and now reads dated against the rest of the room, which has been refreshed by the homeowner over the last several years. Third, the great-room ceiling height (often eighteen to twenty-four feet, with a vaulted timber-truss exposed structure) was never matched by the original fireplace size, and the room reads bottom-heavy. We address each of these.
The masonry on Newman Village fireplaces is almost always cast stone or natural Lueders limestone, with brick fireboxes and metal flue assemblies. Restoration is straightforward when the masonry is original quality. Replacement of the firebox unit is the more common scope — we remove the existing factory-built insert, scope the venting, and install a new sealed direct-vent linear unit at 48 to 72 inches, often re-using the existing chase and chimney shell.
Outdoor fireplaces are a major scope here. Newman Village covered patios are usually 600 to 1,500 square feet, with full outdoor kitchens, and the fireplace is the room’s anchor. We design and build masonry outdoor fireplaces sized to the room — typically 9 to 14 feet tall, in cast stone or limestone with timber mantels — with sealed gas burners and lit log sets. The outdoor fireplace is used six to eight months of the year in this part of Texas, and the design has to hold up to that use.
Gas service in 75033 and 75034 is well-mapped and reliable, with most lots fed from street-side service. Pressure and run lengths rarely cause problems. New venting through high vaulted ceilings requires careful coordination with the existing roof structure, and we scope this on the consultation.
SFS Services for Newman Village
Our scope in Newman Village covers four primary project types, each led by a senior project manager.
**Great-room fireplace upgrade.** The single most common Newman Village project. The homeowner has lived in the house for five to ten years, the original builder-grade insert is failing or aesthetically tired, and the room is being refreshed by their interior designer. We replace the unit with a new sealed direct-vent linear at 60 or 72 inches, redesign the surround to match the room’s updated material direction (often shifting from cast stone to honed Lueders, or from a tall traditional cap to a cleaner transitional profile), and rebuild the hearth and mantel. Total scope is usually three to five weeks of intermittent work.
**Whole-house fireplace coordination on a major remodel.** When a Newman Village homeowner does a full interior refresh — paint, lighting, flooring, kitchen, primary suite — the four fireplaces in the house are usually part of the scope. We coordinate all four under one proposal, sequence the work to match the GC’s schedule, and deliver consistent material specification across rooms. The interior designer manages the broader project and we manage the fireplaces.
**Outdoor living fireplace and fire feature design.** The outdoor scope is roughly a third of our Newman Village volume. We design and build masonry outdoor fireplaces, fire walls, fire tables, and integrated outdoor kitchen-and-fireplace combinations, sized to the covered patio and matched to the home’s exterior architecture. We coordinate with the landscape architect when there is one and with the homeowner directly when there is not.
**New construction in 75033 and 75034.** For owners and builders working on a new custom home in Newman Village or the surrounding corridor, we engage from schematic phase. We provide CAD elevations for each fireplace in the house, a material specification that aligns with the architect’s exterior palette, framing and venting drawings the GC can build from, and a senior project manager on-site through framing, mechanical rough, and finish. New custom builds in this corridor typically include four to six fireplaces, and we deliver them as a coordinated set.
**Service, inspection, and tuning of existing units.** We service and tune existing fireplaces in 75033 and 75034 on a one-time and an annual basis. Our service tech (also a senior project manager) inspects the firebox, cleans the burner, scopes the flue, and certifies the unit. Most Newman Village homeowners do this annually, before the cold months.

Selected Newman Village Projects
**A French Country great-room refresh on Stonebrook Parkway.** The owners had bought the house in 2014 and were doing a full interior refresh with a Plano-based interior designer. The original fireplace had a tall cast-stone cap, a 36-inch builder gas insert that had failed, and a heavy oak mantel that did not match the lighter materials being introduced elsewhere in the room. We removed the cap, replaced the unit with a 60-inch sealed direct-vent linear, redesigned the surround in honed Lueders limestone with a cleaner transitional profile, and built a new mantel beam in reclaimed long-leaf pine. The hearth was rebuilt in a single monolithic limestone slab. The room reads ten years younger, and the homeowner has referred us four times since.
**A whole-house fireplace coordination near Independence Parkway.** A 7,800 square foot French Country home with five fireplaces — great room, primary suite, study, covered patio, and a guest casita. The owner was completing a top-to-bottom refresh and asked us to coordinate all five under one scope. We delivered a unified material specification, sequenced the work over a three-month window to match the GC’s schedule, and finished all five fireplaces within the same week to allow a single homeowner punch walk. The outdoor fireplace, at 12 feet tall in cast stone with a timber mantel, has become the most-used room in the house.
**A new custom build on a half-acre lot off Coit Road.** The clients were building their forever home with a custom builder and a Frisco-based architect. We engaged from schematic phase and designed six fireplaces — two interior, four outdoor including a poolside fire wall, an outdoor-kitchen fireplace, a casita fireplace, and a covered-patio anchor. The interior designs included a 72-inch ribbon in the great room with a full-height honed limestone surround and a 48-inch sealed unit in the primary suite with a polished plaster surround. The project ran for fourteen months total and we were on-site at every framing, mechanical, and finish phase.
Trade Pro Program
We work with a number of Frisco and Plano-based interior designers, architects, and custom builders on recurring projects in Newman Village and the surrounding corridor. The Trade Pro program offers a 15 percent professional discount on materials and design fees, dedicated lead times, and direct senior-PM access for any specification or coordination question. Pricing is delivered to the trade, not the homeowner. We do not market to your client. To set up a Trade Pro account, call 469-992-4912 and ask for the Trade desk.
Process and Timeline
The first step is a scheduled consultation at the home. The visit takes about ninety minutes and covers each fireplace under consideration. Within ten business days you receive a written proposal with fixed pricing.
For Newman Village great-room upgrades, design typically runs three to five weeks. Whole-house coordination across four to six fireplaces runs five to eight weeks of design. New construction integration runs from schematic through close-out, usually twelve to eighteen months alongside the broader build. We do not order materials until the elevation drawings and material samples are signed off.
Build duration on a single great-room upgrade is two to three weeks of intermittent work. Whole-house coordination is six to ten weeks. We coordinate with your interior designer, your GC, and your other trades, and we leave each room clean each evening.

Our most common adjacent service areas to Newman Village are [Prosper](https://spacefireplaceservices.com/areas/prosper/), [West Plano](https://spacefireplaceservices.com/areas/west-plano/), Westlake, the rest of premium Frisco (Phillips Creek Ranch, Starwood, Stonebriar), and the new builds along Highway 380. Same atelier model applies in each.
Frequently Asked Questions
**My builder gas insert is failing — can you replace just the unit, or do I have to redo the whole fireplace?**
We can do either. If the surround and mantel still work for the room, we replace the unit and tune the venting only. If you are refreshing the room broadly, we coordinate the unit replacement with a surround redesign in one scope.
**How do you handle the very tall great-room fireplaces in Newman Village?**
We design to the proportions of the room. A 60 to 72-inch fireplace is the right starting point for a vaulted great room. Surround height is matched to the ceiling, with the mantel typically set at six to seven feet to keep the human scale present.
**Can you build a full outdoor fireplace on my covered patio?**
Yes, and this is one of our most-requested Newman Village scopes. We design 9 to 14-foot masonry fireplaces in cast stone or limestone, sized to the patio and matched to the home’s exterior. We coordinate gas service and any structural reinforcement of the patio slab.
**Do you work with my interior designer or architect?**
Yes. The Trade Pro program is the formal structure. We deliver pricing to the trade, integrate into their documentation workflow, and protect the client relationship.
**What does a Newman Village fireplace project typically cost?**
Great-room upgrades run twenty-six thousand to fifty-five thousand depending on materials. Whole-house coordination across four to six fireplaces runs from the high five figures into the low six figures. Outdoor fireplaces run twenty-eight thousand to seventy-five thousand depending on size and finish. We give fixed pricing in the proposal.
**How long is the lead time?**
Lead time from signed proposal to first day on-site is usually six to ten weeks, depending on materials. Some specialty stones run longer. We tell you the realistic schedule in the proposal.
**Do you service existing units annually?**
Yes. We tune, inspect, and certify existing fireplaces in 75033 and 75034 on a one-time and annual basis. Most Newman Village homeowners do this each fall.
