Newman Village Frisco Fireplace Installation & Design — Space Fireplace Services

frisco/" class="auto-entity-link" data-term="Newman Village">Newman Village is the kind of neighborhood where the great room is forty feet long and the fireplace has to earn its wall. The gated community along Stonebrook Parkway in Frisco — homes built post-2015 by Toll Brothers, Huntington Homes, and Shaddock, most of them sitting on half-acre lots, most of them priced above two million — was designed for fireplaces that announce themselves. Twelve-foot ceilings. Two-story stone walls. Floorplans that flow from a great room into an outdoor living space with a covered loggia and an outdoor kitchen. Space Fireplace Services installs into all of that. Our typical Newman Village client has just closed on a new build, or is doing a 24-month-old custom upgrade, and the original builder fireplace — a 42-inch gas insert in a flat stone surround — looks like it belongs in a different house. We replace it. With an oversized linear. With a see-through that connects the great room to the loggia. With a four-sided pier unit in the primary suite. With matching indoor-outdoor fireplaces that turn the back of the house into a year-round living space. The work is bigger here than almost anywhere else in DFW, and it shows in every photograph the owner shares.

## What Newman Village Homes Actually Need

A Newman Village fireplace is not a decorative accessory. It’s the architectural anchor of the room. The ceilings are 12 to 16 feet. The stone walls run two stories. The builder’s standard 42-inch insert was sized for a starter home in Plano, not for a 6,000-square-foot Toll Brothers in a gated community. The most common service we provide in Newman Village is the upgrade — pulling the builder-grade unit, framing for a 60-, 72-, or 96-inch linear, and re-cladding the surround to match the room’s scale.

We don’t sweep chimneys in Newman Village. Almost no home here has a traditional masonry chimney — virtually every fireplace is direct-vent gas inside a steel-framed chase. We install new fireplaces, upgrade existing inserts, install see-through and multi-sided units, run outdoor fireplaces on the loggia, and service the gas equipment that’s already there.

## What We Install in Newman Village Homes

### Oversized Linear Gas Fireplaces — 60″ to 96″
The single most-requested upgrade in the neighborhood. The builder unit comes out, a new linear goes in, the stone or tile surround is rebuilt to the new dimensions. Heat & Glo Mezzo 72, Montigo Prodigy 72, Ortal Clear 75, and the Hearth & Home Primo 72 are the units we install most often. Lead times: 6 to 14 weeks depending on configuration.

### See-Through Fireplaces — Great Room to Loggia
The most-loved Newman Village configuration. A see-through gas unit installed in the wall between the great room and the covered outdoor living space — glass on both sides, flame visible from inside and out, weather-rated for the exterior face. The result is an indoor-outdoor connection that makes the loggia usable from October through March. We install Hearth & Home Mezzo See-Through, Ortal See-Through, and Montigo’s outdoor-rated see-through line.

### Three-Sided and Four-Sided Fireplaces
Newman Village floorplans sometimes call for a peninsula fireplace at the end of a great room (three-sided, flame visible from three angles) or a pier fireplace in the center of a primary suite (four-sided, glass on all four faces). Both configurations are installable in new-construction Newman Village homes and in many of the larger custom plans. We’ve installed five three-sided units in the neighborhood in the last 18 months.

### Outdoor Fireplaces on the Loggia
Every Newman Village home has a covered loggia. About a third of them came from the builder without an outdoor fireplace. Adding one — a gas outdoor unit with stone or tile surround, dedicated gas line, weather-rated controls — extends the back of the house into a true second living room. Lead time: 4 to 8 weeks.

### Matching Indoor-Outdoor Fireplaces
Some of our favorite Newman Village projects are matched pairs: a 72-inch linear in the great room, an identical 72-inch unit on the loggia wall directly across the slider doors. The visual carries through the glass; the architecture reads as continuous.

### Gas Conversion for Older Frisco Builds (Pre-2015)
A few Newman Village owners are coming from older Frisco homes built between 2005 and 2014, where the original fireplace is B-vent or vent-free with a tired log set. We convert to current-generation direct-vent gas linears with a clean modern aesthetic.

### Fireplace Removal During Major Renovation
Occasionally a Newman Village owner is gutting a great room two years after move-in and wants the fireplace location moved or eliminated entirely. We remove the unit, cap gas and venting, patch structure, and frame the new wall.

### Service and Repair
Pilot ignition, blower replacement, glass replacement, remote and thermostat issues. We service every brand installed in Newman Village.

## Working With Newman Village Designers and Custom Builders

A meaningful portion of Newman Village construction is custom — homeowners working with a designer and a custom builder to upgrade a Toll Brothers shell or build from scratch on one of the remaining lots. We work with most of the design firms active in the community. For builders and designers: pre-construction consultation, written rough-in specs, fixed install windows. Email for trade pricing.

## What a Newman Village Project Costs

A like-for-like swap of a builder insert for a 60-inch linear with a matching stone re-clad starts at one price tier. A 96-inch Ortal Clear with a custom two-story stone surround in a great room with matched outdoor unit on the loggia lands considerably higher. We quote every project after a free in-home consultation, typically returning a written number within 48 to 72 hours.

## Frequently Asked — Newman Village Edition

**Our builder installed a 42-inch insert and it looks tiny in the great room. Can you replace it without rebuilding the entire wall?**
Sometimes. If the new unit is in the same family and the stone surround can be re-cut to the new opening, the wall can stay. More often the surround is reworked entirely — and the result is dramatically better than trying to preserve the original.

**Can you install a see-through fireplace between our great room and the loggia after the home is already built?**
Yes, if the wall is non-load-bearing or if a structural engineer can sign off on a beam. We coordinate with the engineer; we do the install. About a quarter of our Newman Village jobs are post-construction see-through additions.

**How long does an outdoor fireplace installation take?**
4 to 8 weeks lead time on the unit; 5 to 10 days on-site for gas line, framing, install, surround, and gas commissioning.

**Can we run a real wood-burning fireplace in Newman Village?**
Technically yes in some lots, but the HOA reviews exterior changes, and a wood unit requires a real masonry chimney that almost no Newman Village home has. We almost always recommend a gas equivalent that delivers the same aesthetic without the build cost.

**What’s the typical lead time for a high-end linear?**
Domestic (Heat & Glo, Montigo, Hearth & Home): 4 to 8 weeks. European (Ortal, Stuv, Spartherm): 10 to 16 weeks.

**Will the fireplace heat the great room?**
Yes. A 72-inch linear puts out 40,000 to 50,000 BTU — more than enough for a great room with 12-foot ceilings on the coldest Frisco night.

**Can you install fireplaces in multiple rooms at once?**
Yes. Larger Newman Village projects with three to five fireplaces (great room, primary suite, loggia, outdoor kitchen, secondary living area) are common. We schedule them as a single coordinated install over two to three weeks.

## Custom Installs, Worthy of the Home
