Specific building codes address seismic requirements and fire safety, which our technicians are trained to adhere to. The housing stock ranges from older homes in San Francisco to newer constructions in outlying areas, each presenting unique installation challenges. Factors like existing chimney structures, venting requirements, and the type of fireplace desired (gas, wood-burning, electric) will influence the scope of work.
