Common Questions

Fireplace Installation & Renovation FAQ — Hinsdale

Can you convert my wood-burning fireplace to gas in Hinsdale?
Yes. Converting a wood-burning fireplace to gas is one of our most common fireplace projects in Hinsdale. It requires a gas line installation, a certified insert, and typically a new surround or facia update. The Village of Hinsdale Building Department requires a permit for gas line work — Bayern Builders handles all of it.
How much does a fireplace installation or renovation cost in Hinsdale?
Fireplace project costs vary significantly depending on the scope of work — whether it's a gas insert, a surround update, or a full custom stone feature wall. The final price depends on materials, venting requirements, and any gas line work involved. Every project is different, so we recommend reaching out for a free in-home assessment where we can evaluate your space and provide a detailed estimate.
What is the difference between a gas insert and a gas fireplace?
A gas insert is installed into an existing wood-burning fireplace opening, converting it to gas fuel. A gas fireplace is a standalone installation that does not require an existing masonry structure. Both options provide controlled flame with less maintenance than a traditional wood fireplace. Bayern Builders assesses which option is appropriate for your Hinsdale home during the consultation.
How much does fireplace installation or renovation cost?
Fireplace project costs range from a gas insert installation to a full custom surround rebuild. The scope drives the cost. We give detailed estimates after a site visit so you know exactly what is included before any work begins.
Can you convert a wood-burning fireplace to gas?
Yes. Gas conversions are one of the most common fireplace projects we do. We install a gas insert into your existing firebox, run the gas line, and can update the surround at the same time if you want a new look.
Do you build outdoor fireplaces as well?
Yes. Outdoor fireplaces and fire pits are part of our exterior renovation work. We design and build them as part of a broader patio or outdoor living project, or as a standalone addition.
What surround materials do you work with?
We work in stone, brick, shiplap, tile, and custom millwork. The right choice depends on your home style and what is already in the room. We bring samples and walk through options during the consultation.
