Luxury Fireplace Design & Installation
At PyreForm, we create luxury fireplaces that blend warmth and artistry, becoming the heart of your home. Our team specializes in designing and installing new fireplaces from scratch, handling everything from the initial concept to final installation. Whether you envision a sleek modern gas fireplace in a San Francisco penthouse or a rustic stone hearth for a Tahoe mountain retreat, our experts will bring it to life with meticulous attention to detail and adherence to California’s safety standards.
Every project begins with a personalized design consultation. We collaborate with homeowners, architects, and interior designers to ensure the fireplace complements your interior style and layout. From choosing the right firebox and fuel type (wood-burning, high-efficiency gas, or eco-friendly electric) to selecting premium materials for the surround, we ensure your new fireplace installation is both stunning and compliant with local codes. The result is a custom fireplace that provides warmth, ambiance, and added value to your property, all while reflecting your personal taste and our signature craftsmanship.
Fireplace Remodeling & Finishing
Already have a fireplace that needs a refresh? Our fireplace remodeling and finishing services will transform an outdated hearth into a show-stopping focal point. We handle everything from structural renovations to cosmetic upgrades. Cracked brickwork, inefficient designs, or dated facades are given new life through our reconstruction expertise. We can retrofit old wood-burning fireplaces with efficient gas inserts for a cleaner burn, or update a basic builder-grade fireplace with a modern linear design that better suits a high-end California home.
PyreForm offers a wide range of artistic finishes and materials to suit every aesthetic. Imagine a fireplace surround clad in hand-carved limestone, a sleek wall-to-ceiling marble slab, or contemporary textured concrete that adds architectural flair. We also design and install custom mantels—from classic wooden mantels that add traditional charm to minimalist floating shelves that complement modern décor. Our artisans excel at special touches like mosaic tile inlays, metalwork panels, and glass or LED accent lighting, giving your fireplace a one-of-a-kind character. Every finish is applied with an artist’s eye and a craftsman’s skill, resulting in a fireplace that not only heats your room but also elevates its design.
Artistry, Craftsmanship & Service
Our approach to fireplaces is a blend of art and science. We pride ourselves on old-world craftsmanship combined with modern innovation. Each PyreForm fireplace is built to last, using high-quality refractory materials and state-of-the-art construction techniques to ensure safety and durability. But beyond engineering, we infuse artistry into every project. Our designers draw inspiration from California’s rich design heritage—whether it’s the clean lines of Mid-century modern in Silicon Valley or the rustic elegance of Napa Valley vineyards—to create fireplaces that resonate with your lifestyle and environment.
Customer satisfaction is at the core of our process. Our skilled installers and masons work hand-in-hand with the design team, ensuring that the vision is executed flawlessly on-site. We manage all necessary permits and inspections, making sure your project meets California’s building codes and environmental regulations (including specialized requirements in areas like the Bay Area, which has strict air-quality standards). Throughout the project, we maintain open communication so you’re informed and involved at each step. The result is a stress-free, white-glove experience—true to our company name Stressless in every aspect of the job.
