Fireplace Remodel Underway 🔥

Another fireplace remodel is underway in West Michigan.

We’ve already:
• Removed the old stone surround
• Disconnected the gas and electrical
• Removed the old, broken fireplace
• Modified the framing for the new unit

Next up is installation of the new fireplace, followed by a completely new custom finish. Natural stone and tile are both being considered, with final selections still being made.

This is the stage where the transformation really starts to take shape. Stay tuned for the finished product.

Building a Fireplace From the Ground Up 🔥

This one isn’t a fireplace remodel—we’re creating an entirely new fireplace from the ground up.

The new structure is framed and beginning to take shape, extending up into the vaulted ceiling and creating a new focal point for this living space.

There’s a lot that happens before the finished materials ever go on: layout, proportions, framing, fireplace installation, mechanicals, substrate, and all the details that ultimately make the finished fireplace look like it was always meant to be there.

Next up, we’ll keep building this one out and start bringing the finished design to life. 🔥🏡

Quite the transformation on this one.

We took this traditional brick fireplace and completely reworked it into a natural stone focal point built around a new remote-controlled Kozy Heat Nordic 41 gas fireplace.

The new finish features Halquist Grey/Buff natural stone, paired with Aura Blue Ice limestone for the hearth and mantel. Rather than using standard finished slabs, we custom cut the limestone and hand-chiseled the exposed edges to create the natural “rocked” finish you see in the final product. 🪨🔨

New fireplace. Natural stone. Custom-fabricated hearth and mantel. And a completely different feel for the room.

Swipe through the before and after—this is why we love fireplace remodels.

The finished project matters. So does everything that happens along the way. 🏡🔨

Before the tools come out, we take the time to protect the areas around our work. Floors, walls, furniture, walkways and adjoining spaces are covered and isolated as needed before demolition or construction begins.

This time lapse shows our crew setting up protection before starting another remodel.

It might not be the most exciting part of a transformation, but it’s an important one. Our clients are trusting us inside their homes, and we want them to be just as happy with how we treated their space as they are with the finished project.

Good remodeling is about more than the final photos. It’s about the entire experience.

Every fireplace remodel starts by looking beyond what’s already there.

This older brick veneer fireplace had served its purpose for years, but it was time for a fresh start. After careful demolition, we’re reshaping the entire fireplace to create a new focal point that better fits the home and the family’s vision.

There’s still a lot to come, but the foundation is in place:
✔️ Original brick removed
✔️ New framing underway
✔️ Fireplace opening reconfigured
✔️ Ready for the next stage of the transformation

The best part? We’re just getting started.

Stay tuned as this fireplace takes shape over the next few weeks. You won’t want to miss the finished result. 🔨🏡

🪨 Every custom fireplace has details most homeowners never get to see.

For this project, we hand-cut and chiseled the edge of a Blue Ice limestone mantel to create a natural rock face that complements the stone fireplace. There’s no shortcut or machine that can perfectly replicate the character of natural stone—it’s shaped one piece at a time.

These are the kinds of details that often go unnoticed when a project is finished, but they’re what give a fireplace its authentic, custom-built look.

It’s craftsmanship like this that turns quality materials into something truly unique.

🔥 Every great remodel starts with a plan—and this fireplace is a perfect example.

What began as an outdated fireplace has been completely transformed into a warm, timeless centerpiece for this home.

This project included:
✔️ A new gas fireplace
✔️ Fond du Lac Country natural limestone
✔️ Sandy-white grout
✔️ A custom reclaimed barn beam mantel
✔️ Large-format tile hearth
✔️ Hidden wiring for a clean TV installation

The before, progress, and final photos tell the story, but what they don’t show is the careful planning, craftsmanship, and attention to detail that go into every stage of the project.

At 3Builders, we believe remodeling is about more than updating a room—it’s about creating spaces where families gather, relax, and make memories for years to come.

There’s something exciting about seeing natural stone start to transform a fireplace.

This project is being finished with Fond du Lac Country Stone, a natural limestone veneer known for its rugged texture, warm gray and buff tones, and timeless character. Every piece is unique, creating depth and variation that simply can’t be replicated with manufactured products.

We’re taking our time to carefully shape each corner, balance the stone pattern, and create a fireplace that looks like it’s has always belonged in the home.

It’s still a work in progress, but it’s starting to come to life—and we can’t wait to share the finished result.

If you’re planning a fireplace, kitchen, bathroom, or basement remodel in West Michigan, we’d love to help you create a space your family will enjoy for years to come.

🔥 Progress update on one of our current fireplace remodels.

A lot happens before the finished stone goes on.

Today’s progress included:
✔️ Reframing the fireplace for its new dimensions
✔️ Electrical modifications for a cleaner layout
✔️ Installing the new gas fireplace
✔️ Scratch coat applied and ready for stone
✔️ Mantel blocking and prep completed
✔️ TV location prepped with a recessed outlet, conduit, and pathways for future HDMI and Ethernet cables

The finished product gets all the attention, but it’s the planning and preparation behind the walls that make the difference.

We’re excited to share the finished transformation soon!

🔥 A clean, modern fireplace transformation.

This project features a new linear gas fireplace finished with large-format tile for a sleek, contemporary look. The simple design keeps the focus on the scale of the fireplace while complementing the natural light and open layout of the home.

Sometimes the best designs are the ones that don’t need extra details to make an impact.
