Ledgestone delivers the rustic, dimensional look most East Valley homeowners picture, our galleries include honey-toned ledge installs and large-rock fireplace refacings. Panels install quickly and give deep texture around both wood-burning and gas fireplaces.
Large-format porcelain, subway layouts, and patterned tile give a modern or transitional fireplace a tailored, easy-care finish. Porcelain is colorfast under heat and sunlight, a real plus on Arizona rooms with bright western exposure.
Tumbled travertine and rubble-stone decos suit Southwestern interiors and pair naturally with the travertine and stone floors many East Valley homes already have. Natural stone demands the right setting materials and sealing, which is exactly the craft part of the job.
We extend or refinish hearths, add decorative deco bands and inserts, and blend fireplaces into media walls or wood-floor family rooms for a cohesive design.
This project suits anyone with a structurally sound but visually tired fireplace, brass-and-marble 1990s surrounds, painted brick, or plain drywall bump-outs. Because the fireplace anchors the living space, refacing it changes the whole room for a fraction of full-remodel cost.
Arizona specifics: many East Valley homes run gas fireplaces, which simplifies clearances and opens up more material options; wood-burning fireplaces require heat-rated materials and proper clearances on the surround and hearth extension. Intense sun through big west-facing windows argues for UV-stable porcelain or natural stone over painted or resin finishes. And because desert dust settles on mantels and textured stone, we favor materials and grout choices that clean up with a damp cloth.
We price your actual fireplace at a free in-home estimate, where we can also confirm the right materials for your fireplace type.
We assess the existing surround, measure, and confirm fireplace type and clearances.
Ledger stone, porcelain, or natural stone samples come to your home so you see them against your room.
The facing is prepared or framed as needed, sound, flat, and rated for the application.
Surround, hearth, and accents are set, grouted, and sealed where required, with careful alignment around firebox openings.
We review joints, sealant lines, and hearth transitions with you.
Dust textured stone with a soft brush or vacuum brush attachment; wipe glazed porcelain with a damp cloth and pH-neutral cleaner. Seal natural stone on the schedule we leave you. Keep combustibles off the hearth, and have gas fireplaces serviced on the manufacturer's schedule.
For the surround, heat-rated porcelain, ceramic, and natural stone are the standard choices, they tolerate the radiant heat a fireplace produces. The firebox itself takes specialty refractory materials, and hearth extensions need non-combustible, appropriately rated surfaces. We confirm the right materials for your fireplace type during the estimate.
Usually, yes, sound brick and mortar are an excellent substrate. We clean, repair, and flatten as needed, then set tile directly. Loose or crumbling masonry needs repair or cement-board preparation first, which we assess in person.
It depends on material and scope: a surround-only refacing in ledger stone is a different project than a floor-to-ceiling natural-stone wall with a new hearth. We quote your exact fireplace at a free in-home estimate, no generic numbers, no surprises.
Most standard surrounds take one to three days once materials are on hand; full-height walls and larger refacings can run longer. Your estimate includes a firm schedule.
Both. Gas fireplaces often simplify the project since clearances are friendlier to a wide range of materials. For wood-burning units we plan heat-rated materials and hearth extensions to code. Any gas-line changes are coordinated with licensed trade partners.
Few projects change a room this much this quickly, and with almost no local installer competition, East Valley Floors' fireplace gallery speaks for itself. Call (480) 926-3444 or contact us for your free in-home estimate, or browse our fireplaces gallery for design ideas first.
