Fireplace Framing Cost

Construction Item Description

Construction estimating unit cost for framing around a metal fireplace unit.

Unit Size

One fireplace.

Labor Costs

We figure that a skilled carpenter can frame around a fireplace unit in about 2 1/2 hours, with a little help from an unskilled worker.

Material Costs

We figure that the framing will require about 10 2x4's 8 feet in length, and 3 2x6's.

Suggested Quantity

No suggestion. Enter the number of fireplaces that need to be framed.

Source of Construction Pricing

The labor and material quantities are based on a couple of built-in metal fireplace units installed by Turtle Creek Construction. The actual labor and lumber will depend on the specific design, but this is a good average price for typical installations.
