Custom Fireplaces: Turning Concepts Into Quality Builds

Custom fireplace projects allow homeowners to combine design preferences with functional craftsmanship. At Red River Remodel & Construction, owner Samuel Knowlton emphasizes precision and quality materials in every build.

Project Overview

One recent project began with a client’s hand-drawn concept. The homeowner had already arranged for a gas insert and related utility work, and Red River was hired to design and build the mantle and surround.

Process

Knowlton selected walnut from a specialty lumber supplier, choosing specific boards to achieve consistent color and grain. The pieces were milled, joined, and installed to exact measurements. The design included a waterfall edge—a technique that maintains continuous wood grain across corners.

Result

The completed fireplace provided both visual appeal and warmth. The full surround created a cohesive appearance, complementing the client’s existing layout. The finished product improved the room’s function while adding long-term value to the home.

Recommendation

Homeowners planning a fireplace remodel should consider professional design and craftsmanship early in the process. Collaboration between installers, builders, and designers ensures efficient coordination and better results.
