Finally, An Outdoor Space You'll Actually Use

Picture this: October evenings that don’t send everyone inside. Holiday gatherings that spill naturally from your kitchen to your backyard. Weekend mornings with coffee by the fire, even when there’s frost on the ground.

That’s what happens when you install a properly designed fireplace. Your outdoor space stops being seasonal decoration and becomes the heart of your home’s entertainment.

You get more than just heat. You get a focal point that draws people together, a conversation starter that makes your property stand out, and a smart investment that adds real value to your Plandome home.

Masonry Fireplace Installation Plandome NY

25 Years Building Fireplaces That Last

We’ve been creating custom outdoor entertainment spaces across Long Island since before “outdoor living” was a trend. While other contractors chase whatever’s popular this season, we focus on what works: solid masonry construction, proper installation, and designs that make sense for your specific property.

Plandome homeowners choose us because we understand the local building codes, the coastal climate challenges, and what it takes to create something that looks as good in ten years as it does today.

We’re not the cheapest option. We’re the one that gets it right the first time, handles the permits properly, and builds something you’ll be proud to show off.

Custom Outdoor Fireplace Design Process

From Concept to Cozy Evenings

First, we come to your property for a consultation. We’ll look at your space, discuss your vision, and explain what’s possible within your budget and local building requirements. No pressure, no sales pitch – just honest advice about what will work best for your situation.

Once you decide to move forward, we handle the design and permit process. We create detailed plans that meet Plandome’s building codes and submit everything to the village. You don’t have to worry about inspections or compliance issues.

Installation typically takes 3-5 days, depending on the complexity of your fireplace. We protect your landscaping, clean up daily, and keep you informed about progress. When we’re finished, you’ll have a fully functional fireplace ready for your first gathering.

Gas Electric Wood Fireplace Options

Choose Your Perfect Fireplace Style

Gas fireplaces offer the convenience most Plandome homeowners want. Push a button, instant fire. No wood storage, no cleanup, no fuss. Perfect for busy families who want ambiance without the work.

Electric fireplaces work well for covered areas and provide consistent heat without venting requirements. They’re energy efficient and can be installed in spaces where gas lines aren’t practical.

Wood burning fireplaces create that authentic crackling fire experience. They require more maintenance but provide unmatched atmosphere for those who enjoy the ritual of building and tending a fire. We can also install fireplace inserts to upgrade existing wood-burning units for better efficiency and easier operation.

Do I need a permit for fireplace installation in Plandome?

Yes, Plandome requires permits for most home alterations, including fireplace installation. The permit process ensures your fireplace meets New York State building codes and local safety requirements. We handle the entire permit process for you. We’ll prepare the necessary plans, submit them to the village, and coordinate with inspectors. This typically adds 2-3 weeks to the project timeline, but it’s essential for safety and legal compliance. Don’t worry about navigating the bureaucracy yourself. We know exactly what Plandome’s building department requires and have established relationships with local inspectors.

How much does fireplace installation cost in Plandome?

Fireplace installation costs vary significantly based on fuel type, size, and complexity. Basic gas fireplace installations typically start around $8,000-$12,000, while custom stone fireplaces can range from $15,000-$35,000 or more. The biggest factors affecting cost are the fuel type you choose, the amount of custom stonework involved, and whether we need to run new gas lines or electrical connections. Location on your property also matters – installations that require extensive excavation or access challenges cost more. We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs upfront. No surprises, no hidden fees. You’ll know exactly what you’re paying for before we start work.

What's the best fireplace type for Long Island's climate?

Gas fireplaces perform best in our coastal climate because they’re not affected by humidity or salt air like wood-burning units can be. They provide consistent heat, start reliably even in cold weather, and require minimal maintenance. Electric fireplaces work well in covered areas but may struggle with efficiency in open outdoor spaces during winter months. Wood-burning fireplaces create great ambiance but require more maintenance due to moisture exposure and need proper covers when not in use. For most Plandome properties, we recommend gas fireplaces with quality stone or brick surrounds that can handle freeze-thaw cycles and coastal weather conditions.

How long does fireplace installation take?

Most fireplace installations take 3-5 working days once we begin construction. However, the total project timeline including permits and scheduling is typically 4-6 weeks from contract signing to completion. Simple gas fireplace installations in accessible locations can sometimes be completed in 2-3 days. Complex custom stone fireplaces with extensive masonry work may take a full week or more. Weather can also affect outdoor installation schedules. We’ll give you a realistic timeline estimate during your consultation and keep you updated if anything changes. We’d rather underpromise and finish early than leave you waiting.

Can you install a fireplace on my existing patio?

In most cases, yes, but it depends on your patio’s construction and local setback requirements. Concrete patios usually provide adequate foundation support, while some pavers or flagstone installations may need reinforcement. We’ll evaluate your existing patio during the consultation and let you know if any modifications are needed. Sometimes we need to create a dedicated foundation pad, especially for larger stone fireplaces that require substantial support. Plandome has specific setback requirements for fire features, so we’ll also verify that your desired location meets village codes. We handle all the technical details so you don’t have to worry about compliance issues.

Do you service fireplaces after installation?

Yes, we provide ongoing maintenance and repair services for all fireplaces we install. Gas fireplaces typically need annual inspections and occasional component replacement. Wood-burning units require more frequent cleaning and maintenance. We recommend annual service calls to check gas connections, clean components, and ensure everything operates safely. This preventive maintenance helps avoid problems and extends your fireplace’s lifespan. If you have issues with your fireplace, we respond quickly to service calls. We know exactly how your system was installed and can diagnose problems efficiently. Most repairs can be completed the same day.
