Our crews from Chimney Specialists worked on this project in Galena Territory Illinois. First, we removed an old wood burning fireplace and chimney system. Next, we reframed the fireplace support and insulated the fireplace chase. We proceeded by replacing the old fireplace with a Kozy Heat Bayport 36 gas burning fireplace. We installed the tile surround using Mini split face stone tiles. The Alder colored tile hearth extension was wood and looked like ceramic tile. A Shenandoah distressed with cherry stain was used for the mantel.
