My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

    Most Fireplaces will offer a height at which a TV, art work, mantle, etc. is safe from the heat! This open fireplace we just installed had a specified 12" minimum between the opening of the fireplace and the TV mounted above. The cable box and blu-ray player are hidden in the cabinet to the right of the fireplace and operated with an RF remote.

    What company makes the fireplace? Need one with a similar low clearance?

    What is the fireplace wall faced with? Is it tile. And if so what kind of tile.

    Is the fireplace gas or electric?
