All American Fireplace Designs Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's)
1. What is an average cost for a fireplace mantel?
A: On average, our fireplace mantels cost $2,000-$3,500. This cost includes the procurement of quality materials and labor. However, larger more complicated jobs might be more expensive. Cheaper "do it yourself" mantels will cost less but in reality you must be an expert craftsman to put it together correctly. One slip up in measurements or with the bonding procedure and you'll have a wasted mantel. It is best to leave it up to the professionals.
2. Which fireplace mantel style should I choose?
A: Choosing the right mantel is important. You should look for the style that best compliments your existing room. Our design experts can help make recommendations.
3. What color mantel would look best?
A: We have many different stains that you can choose from. You can also choose a high gloss or low gloss stain. We recommend consulting our design expert who can recommend a color to counterbalance the design of your existing room.
4. Can I really customize my own mantel?
A: Yes, our design experts can help you choose which type of etching you would like in your new mantel. Choose from heavy etching with deep lines to light etching with hardly any distortion. All designs are custom made.
5. Does concrete really look like high priced marble or cast stone?
A: Absolutely. The beauty of concrete is that it can be stained and etched to look EXACTLY like higher priced granite or marble. No one will be able to tell the difference.
6. Does it really take half a day to install?
A: Yes, since our designs are prepared offsite it only takes a few hours to install over your existing fireplace. This does not include the removal of existing fireplace mantels, or fireplace surrounds.
