How much does a stone fireplace cost?

A stone fireplace is a practical and beautiful addition to any Indianapolis home. With a stone masonry fireplace, you can escape the frigid winters, and enjoy the aesthetic appeal of your fireplace. Stone is a great material for fireplaces in your family room, master bedroom, or outdoor living space. However, choosing the right stone fireplace can be intimidating. As you search for the perfect stone fireplace, you may wonder just how much does a stone fireplace cost? In this post, we break down the guidelines to help you determine what you can expect to pay. 

Factors that Influencer Stone Fireplace Price

There is not a straightforward answer to the question of what the cost of a stone fireplace is. The average cost for stone fireplace installation around the nation is between $3,000 and $5,000, with authentic masonry fireplaces hitting upwards of $10,000. However, every single fireplace is unique, and there are many considerations to evaluate when assessing the cost. For example, you should consider:

• Real stone vs Manufactured stone. The type of stone you choose for your fireplace will impact its cost. Real stone offers a rustic, classic appearance but it is heavier and harder to work with. Manufactured stone will be less expensive, but will not offer the same finish. 
• Gas or Wood Burning. The type of fuel your fireplace uses will also change the cost. Wood-burning fireplaces provide the romantic open flame but also require much more frequent cleaning. However, there is an additional process for installing the gas fireplace. 
• Location of your fireplace. Outdoor vs indoor fireplaces will have different costs. Indoor fireplaces are ideal for cozying up during winter, but outdoor fireplaces are the perfect space for outdoor cookouts and gatherings. 
• Design. Your choices for stone fireplace design are nearly limitless. The different options for stone, size, hearth, mantel, and crown will also influence the cost of your stone fireplace.
