Custom Fireplace Mantels & Surrounds
Turn your fireplace into the focal point it was meant to be.
Is your fireplace stuck in the 90s?
For many Tulsa homes, the fireplace is the architectural center of the living room—but it’s often wrapped in dated red brick, cheap builder-grade tile, or a mantle that feels too small for the space.
At HomeBase, we specialize in fireplace face-lifts that transform the entire feel of your room. Whether you want to wrap existing brick in modern shiplap, install a chunky reclaimed wood mantel, or retile the hearth with natural stone, we handle the project with the safety and precision of a true professional.
Our Fireplace Services:
- Mantel Installation: Custom floating beams and box mantels.
- Over-Grouted Stone: “German Smear” and whitewashing for dated brick.
- Shiplap & Millwork: Floor-to-ceiling carpentry wraps.
- TV Mounting Prep: Reinforcing the wall to safely hold a TV above the heat.
You don’t need a chimney mason to get a new look. You just need a carpenter with an eye for design.
Frequently Asked Questions about Fireplace Remodels
Is it safe to mount a TV above the fireplace?
Yes, but only if done correctly. We ensure that your mantel is deep enough to deflect heat away from the screen, and we install proper backing behind the drywall so your TV is mounted into solid wood, not just plaster.
Can you cover my existing brick?
Absolutely. We often “fur out” the wall, meaning we build a wood frame over the uneven brick to create a flat surface for shiplap or drywall. It’s a cleaner, faster way to update the look without the mess of demolition.
Do you work on gas and wood-burning fireplaces?
We work on the surrounds for both. However, we do not alter gas lines or chimney flues. For the decorative exterior—the mantel, hearth, and surround—we are your team.
