Comprehensive Fireplace Surround Design and Installation Solutions

Mountains, crisp nights, and close-knit indoor spaces describe life in Centerville, Davis County, and beyond. A fireplace acts as the heart of these interiors—anchoring design and delivering comfort. But its full impact depends on the surround and hearth, which define aesthetics, functionality, and longevity. That’s where expert stonecraft elevates a fireplace from functional feature to signature centerpiece.


Legacy Granite, with over 30 years of experience in stone fabrication and installation, partners with homeowners and builders across Centerville, Utah, and nearby areas including Canyon Rim, East Millcreek, Syracuse, Clearfield, Millcreek, West Valley City, Murray, and Holladay to transform fire features using granite, marble, quartzite, or porcelain. Whether you’re remodeling a Mid‑Century modern home or building a luxury cabin, our digital templating and CNC precision ensure clean lines, consistent joint alignment, and seamlessly integrated hearths—even in irregular spaces.


Fireplace scenarios change—from wood-burning stoves in higher elevations to gas fireplaces in contemporary townhomes. Each requires materials that withstand thermal stress, avoid discoloration, and resist cracking. Stone is ideal: heat-resistant, durable, and easy to maintain, offering safety and style simultaneously. Our team matches stone choice, color, and finish to cabinetry, flooring, and wall textures, ensuring every surround adds architectural depth. Whether you're adding custom mantel detailing, expanding hearth space, or installing a full-height stone wall, professional fabrication and installation deliver safe, beautiful results.

Our Fireplace Surround & Hearth Services

Custom Stone Surround Fabrication

We digital‑template and fabricate fireplace surrounds using granite, marble, quartzite, or porcelain slabs. Precise digital cutting enables clean edges, miters, and integrated mantel profiles that align with your design vision. Our expert craftsmen ensure a seamless, clean finish that enhances architectural depth and beauty.

Hearth Extensions and Platforms

Whether you need a raised, flush, or extended hearth, we fabricate platforms to desired height and depth. Slab installation ensures tight joins with flooring and firebox, delivering both form and function. We also account for material thickness and clearances for safe heat dispersion. Each platform is reinforced to handle weight and foot traffic with ease.

Full‑Height Stone Walls

Make a bold architectural statement with slab-clad fireplace walls. We install large-format stone panels from hearth to ceiling—carefully anchoring and sealing each slab to withstand both vertical weight and shifting loads. These installations add dramatic height, texture, and elegance. Proper engineering and substrate preparation ensure long-term durability and visual impact.

Floating Mantels and Accent Details

Our team builds floating stone mantel systems that appear to hover, supported invisibly by reinforced steel brackets. We also integrate niche shelving, illumination cutouts, and custom corner profiles. Stone mantels are templated for precise weight distribution and anchoring.

Hearth Repair and Refinishing

Existing hearths can suffer cracks, chips, or mortar separation. We offer stone patching, grinding, polishing, and joint resealing to restore visual consistency and structural integrity to worn installations. Whether the damage is aesthetic or structural, we provide solutions that blend seamlessly with existing stone.

Heat-Resistant Sealing and Protective Coatings

Fireplace surfaces see fluctuating temperatures and ash residue. We apply high-temperature sealers and coatings that maintain stone color, resist grime, and minimize soot adherence. Our sealing services are tailored to the specific stone type and finish for maximum effectiveness.

Benefits of Professional Fireplace Surrounds & Hearth Installation

Enhanced Visual Appeal

Professionally installed fireplace surrounds create a refined focal point in your living space. Custom stonework adds texture, contrast, and architectural interest, elevating the entire room’s design aesthetic. With premium materials like marble, granite, and quartzite, your fireplace becomes a true work of art. The surround can be tailored to match trim, flooring, or wall colors for visual continuity.

Improved Heat Distribution

Proper hearth and surround installation helps radiate and retain heat more efficiently. Expert placement and material selection ensure your fireplace functions both visually and as a functional heat source. Stones like granite and soapstone offer excellent thermal mass, distributing warmth steadily. This makes your fireplace a reliable secondary heat source in colder months.

Long-Lasting Durability

Stone surrounds and hearths installed by professionals withstand high temperatures and heavy use. With precise fitting and the right adhesives, your installation is protected from cracking, shifting, and weathering over time. Materials are selected for fire resistance and low porosity to prevent moisture damage. Regular maintenance ensures the surround maintains its integrity and beauty for decades.

Increased Property Value

A custom stone fireplace adds luxury and enhances the resale value of any home. Buyers appreciate the craftsmanship and permanence of a professionally designed fireplace feature. It reflects attention to detail and quality finishes, which are key selling points. Well-designed hearths and surrounds often serve as strong anchors in real estate photography and staging.

Safety and Building Code Compliance

Professionals ensure the surround and hearth meet all fire-safety standards and local building codes. This provides peace of mind, knowing the installation is both safe and properly permitted. Correct clearances, heat-resistant materials, and fireproof adhesives are used at every stage. A compliant fireplace also avoids issues during future inspections or home sales.

Seamless Integration with Existing Décor

Experts design surrounds that complement your home’s architectural style and finishes. Whether modern or traditional, each detail is crafted to blend harmoniously with your interior design vision. Design consultations and digital renderings help preview the final look. Edge profiles, color choices, and finishes are chosen to coordinate with cabinetry, mantels, and flooring.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What stone is best for outdoor hearths?

    Granite and quartzite are ideal due to low porosity, heat durability, and freeze-thaw resistance. Porcelain is also suitable for covered or protected outdoor features. These materials maintain structural integrity and color over time, even in harsh climates. Their natural beauty complements various exterior styles and fire feature designs.

  • Can stone hearths tolerate direct firebox heat?

    Yes. Installed hearth materials are placed outside the firebox’s thermal intensity zone to avoid thermal shock. Proper stone thickness and installation protect against stress cracks. We also use high-temperature adhesives and expansion joints to absorb thermal movement and prevent long-term damage.

  • How do I choose a hearth height?

    Standard hearths are 12–18 inches deep and 6–8 inches above floor, per building codes. We collaborate with your design team to balance compliance, ease of use, and aesthetic goals. Custom hearths can also be tailored for contemporary flush finishes or raised seating functionality.

  • What maintenance do stone hearths need?

    Dust and wipe with mild soap. Avoid acidic cleaners. Reapply high-temperature sealer every 2–3 years to protect grout lines and surfaces from discoloration caused by ash. Regular inspections for chips or hairline cracks ensure early detection and preservation of structural soundness.

  • Can I retrofit a stone surround on an existing fireplace?

    Yes. We remove existing materials, inspect the firebox and framing, then template to seamlessly install the new surround. This avoids structural disturbance and ensures a secure fit. Retrofitting allows you to modernize your fireplace without full demolition or reconstruction.

  • Are floating stone mantels safe?

    When mounted with steel reinforcement and structural anchors, floating stone mantels are suitable for stone and designed to support mantel weight plus décor items safely. We conduct load evaluations and ensure all hardware is concealed for both safety and aesthetic appeal.

  • Does heat damage sealants over time?

    High-quality, non-combustible sealants designed for fireplaces resist temperature fluctuations. With proper installation, these sealants maintain joint and edge integrity for many years. However, periodic inspection is recommended to identify any wear, especially in high-use areas.

  • How long does installation take?

    Typical installs—surround and hearth—take 2–4 days. Full-height slab walls or complex mantels may extend schedule. We coordinate phase work with other trades to avoid delays. Lead times for slab selection, cutting, and curing also factor into the project timeline.
