Custom Fireplace Design & Installation · Serving North Idaho & Spokane

A fireplace does more than just fill a room with warmth — it is the centerpiece of a home, a place that fills a room with warmth and life, where memories are made and laughter is shared. At Quality Stoves & Spas in Post Falls, we design and install custom fireplaces for homes across North Idaho, Coeur d’Alene, and the greater Spokane area — and we make the whole process feel effortless.

We understand that creating the fireplace of your dreams should not feel overwhelming. That is why we make it easy to bring your vision to life. Whether you have a Pinterest board, a sketch, a saved photo, or just an idea of what you want the space to feel like, our team can help you turn your inspiration into a finished fireplace that fits your home.

You Dream It

It all begins with your inspiration. Whether you are coming to explore our showroom with more than 50 live-burning models or just brainstorming with one of our team, you don’t need to have it all figured out.

Imagine it: a custom fireplace as the warm centerpiece of your home.

Sharing your inspiration helps us understand the feeling you want to create in your home, and the vision you have for it. From there, we will work with you to refine your vision and bring it to life.

You don’t need to arrive with a finished plan. You just need a feeling — we’ll help you shape the rest.

We Build It

Once your vision is finalized, our team brings the project together, starting with design.

See it before it’s built

Our design team creates a realistic digital design of what the fireplace will look like in your home, which allows you to visualize your fireplace, surrounding materials, and overall design before construction begins. No surprises — just confidence that the finished space will feel exactly the way you imagined.

Your custom fireplace build, step by step

Here is how a recent Quality Stoves & Spas custom fireplace came together — from a bare wall to a finished centerpiece, all handled by one team.

Step 1 · The Blank Canvas

Every build starts here — a bare wall and a plan. We confirm the design, take measurements, and map out the framing, gas, and electrical before any construction begins.

Step 2 · Framing, Firebox & Venting

Next, our team frames the new fireplace structure, sets the firebox, and runs the venting, gas, and electrical. This is where the shape of your fireplace takes form — built to code and sized precisely for your wall, your hearth height, and the mantel to come.

Step 3 · Backer Board, Mantel & First Burn

Next, we install the backer board that the stone will attach to and set the solid wood mantel. Then comes the first burn — we test the fireplace to confirm it lights, vents, and runs perfectly before any finish materials go on. It is the safe, do-it-right step that saves headaches later.

Step 4 · Natural Stone Veneer

Then the transformation really shows. Our masons hand-place natural stone veneer piece by piece, wrapping the firebox and hearth. Every stone is fitted individually for a timeless, custom look that feels like it has always belonged in the room.

Step 5 · The Finished Fireplace

Finally, with the mantel stained and the fire lit, the build is complete — a finished stone fireplace that transforms the entire room.

One team, from framing to finish

From framing and electrical work to fireplace installation, stone, and the mantel, we make sure the process is seamless. No more worrying about managing contractors or coordinating schedules. Our team handles the process from start to finish, so you can sit back, relax, and watch your vision come to life.

You Enjoy It

Watch the transformation come to life.

Just sit back, relax, and enjoy the fireplace you imagined.
