A fireplace is the emotional center of a home — and in Brookhaven, Georgia, getting that installation right is the difference between a room people gather in and one they walk past. Space Fireplace Services is a design-led installation atelier. We pair you with a designer, an installation lead, and a finish team so the hearth you imagined becomes the hearth your family lives around.
Our Brookhaven clients live with tall masonry chimneys on Colonial-style homes, prefab fireplaces in 1980s-2000s subdivisions across the OTP suburbs, and a high rate of dormant wood-burners converted to gas logs, and we engineer each new build around how the room actually flows. Whether you’re rebuilding a tired masonry opening, dropping in a modern linear gas unit, or floating a sculptural surround over a wood-burning core, we handle architectural drawings, venting layout, gas line routing, and the millwork or stone finish. Transform your space — start with the fireplace.
Fireplace Installation Services in Brookhaven
Space Fireplace Services installs in Brookhaven the way a couture house cuts a suit: measured, considered, and finished to a standard that doesn’t show seams. Most Brookhaven homes we work in feature tall masonry chimneys on Colonial-style homes, prefab fireplaces in 1980s-2000s subdivisions across the OTP suburbs, and a high rate of dormant wood-burners converted to gas logs, and our design team engineers each installation around that reality and around the way you’ll actually live in the room. We treat the fireplace as the architectural anchor of the space — because that’s exactly what it becomes once it’s lit.
Modern Linear Gas Fireplaces
The single most-requested install in the Brookhaven market is a 60-to-84-inch linear direct-vent gas unit set into a floor-to-ceiling stone or steel surround. We specify appliances from Heat & Glo, Ortal, and Stuv, then design the venting run, gas line, and finish in one continuous workflow. The result is a quiet, calibrated flame presentation with the heat output of a working appliance and the visual weight of installed architecture — not a unit that looks like it was added after the fact.
Traditional Masonry Wood-Burning
For Brookhaven clients renovating older homes, a real wood-burning hearth still matters. We build to NFPA 211 clearances, install lined flues to the proper height above the roofline, and finish with brick, limestone, or hand-cast plaster. A properly built masonry fireplace in Brookhaven will outlast the homeowner — it’s the longest-lasting installation we offer, and the finish work matters as much as the engineering.
Indoor/Outdoor See-Through
The Florida-style indoor/outdoor see-through fireplace has migrated north — we install these regularly in Brookhaven new builds. Done right, they require careful wind-load engineering on the outdoor face and proper combustion air on the indoor face. The finished result is a single hearth visible from both the living room and the patio, and it changes how families use the back of the house year-round.
Electric & Vent-Free Options
Bedrooms, offices, basements, and condos where venting isn’t possible: a modern electric fireplace with realistic flame and integrated heat is the right answer. We also install vent-free gas where Brookhaven code permits. Today’s electric units from Modern Flames, Dimplex, and Napoleon look nothing like the units sold a decade ago — the flame technology, the heat distribution, and the surround integration have all changed.
Outdoor Fireplaces & Fire Features
Brookhaven outdoor living seasons are long enough to justify a real outdoor fireplace. We design and install full masonry outdoor hearths, linear gas outdoor units, and fire tables — coordinated with your hardscape and landscape contractors when needed.
The Space Fireplace Installation Workflow
Step one: an in-home design consultation in Brookhaven. Step two: a fixed-fee design proposal with renderings and material samples. Step three: permitting and engineering. Step four: rough-in install with gas, venting, and framing. Step five: finish work — stone, tile, millwork, mantel. Step six: final inspection and the first-fire walkthrough. You see every stage; nothing is hidden behind a contractor wall.
The Space Fireplace Difference
One designer. One installation lead. One finish crew. One five-year workmanship warranty. Georgia uses the 2018 IRC with state amendments; gas log installs in Fulton, DeKalb, and Cobb counties require a permit and pressure test — we handle permitting, inspections, and the closing certificate. Your fireplace arrives the way it was drawn, on the schedule we committed to, in the Brookhaven home you were already excited about. Transform your space — start with the fireplace.
Materials, Surrounds & Mantels in Brookhaven
The appliance is the engine; the surround is the room. Our atelier works in honed limestone, book-matched marble, blackened steel, hand-troweled Venetian plaster, reclaimed timber, and architectural concrete. For Brookhaven clients we typically present three material palettes during the design phase, with samples in-hand so you choose against the actual light in the actual room — never against a screen rendering.
Investment, Timeline & What to Expect
A simple direct-vent gas install in a Brookhaven home with an existing opening completes in 2 to 3 days. A modern linear build with a new floor-to-ceiling surround runs 3 to 5 weeks from deposit to handover. A statement masonry project with custom millwork and stone is a 6-to-12-week engagement. We are not the fastest installer in Brookhaven — we are the one whose finished installation still looks editorial five years later.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you install a fireplace in a Brookhaven home that doesn’t currently have one?
Yes — that’s our specialty. We handle structural framing, exterior venting (B-vent, direct-vent, or Class A chimney), gas line routing, and the surround. Georgia uses the 2018 IRC with state amendments; gas log installs in Fulton, DeKalb, and Cobb counties require a permit and pressure test — we coordinate permits and inspections so you don’t have to.
What fireplace styles do you install most often in Brookhaven?
In the Brookhaven market our top three are modern linear direct-vent gas units (often 60 to 84 inches wide), traditional masonry wood-burning hearths in renovated older homes, and vent-free indoor/outdoor gas installations for entertaining spaces. We work with tall masonry chimneys on Colonial-style homes.
Do you offer wood-burning, gas, and electric options?
All three. Wood-burning requires the most engineering — chimney, clearances, and combustion air. Gas (direct-vent or vent-free) is the most popular new install in Brookhaven. Electric is ideal where venting isn’t possible and works beautifully in bedrooms and offices.
How long does a full fireplace installation take?
A direct-vent gas install in a prepared opening: 2 to 3 days. A new-construction install with framing, venting, and surround: 2 to 4 weeks. A full masonry wood-burning build in Brookhaven: 4 to 8 weeks. We commit to a written schedule before deposit.
What does a Space Fireplace Services installation typically cost?
Direct-vent gas installs in Brookhaven start around $7,500 turnkey. Mid-range modern linear builds with stone or steel surrounds run $14,000 to $28,000. Statement masonry projects with custom millwork begin at $35,000. Every quote is itemized and fixed.
