Planning a custom fireplace wall, TV media wall, accent wall, or built-in feature for your home? Below are answers to the most common questions we receive from homeowners across Florida, including pricing, materials, timelines, design options, electric fireplaces, built-ins, floating shelves, and project requirements.
How much does a custom fireplace wall cost in Florida?
The cost of a custom fireplace wall depends on wall size, finish materials, fireplace insert, shelving, cabinetry, lighting, and overall design complexity. Simple shiplap fireplace walls may start in the lower price range, while large luxury TV media walls with stone finishes, LED lighting, floating shelves, custom cabinetry, and recessed TV layouts can increase significantly depending on the scope of work.
Most custom fireplace wall projects in Florida start around $3,900 and can exceed $10,000+ for full built-in entertainment wall systems. The best way to estimate your project is to send us a wall photo, dimensions, location, and inspiration images.
What is included in a fireplace wall project?
Most fireplace wall projects can include framing, structure preparation, finish installation, electric fireplace integration, floating mantels, cabinet bases, LED shelf lighting, stone veneer, shiplap, limewash finishes, recessed TV layouts, floating shelves, and custom built-in cabinetry.
Each custom fireplace wall is designed specifically around your room layout, ceiling height, TV size, and interior style preferences.
Do you install electric fireplaces in fireplace walls?
Yes. We design and build custom fireplace walls around electric fireplace inserts for modern homes throughout Florida. Electric fireplaces are one of the most popular options for TV media walls because they are clean, low-maintenance, energy-efficient, and easier to integrate into modern entertainment wall systems than traditional gas fireplaces.
We commonly build linear electric fireplace walls with floating mantels, LED lighting, and built-in shelving.
Do you work with gas fireplaces?
We can build a custom fireplace surround or decorative feature wall around an existing gas fireplace. However, any gas line work, relocation, plumbing, or licensed gas modifications must be completed by a licensed gas contractor.
We do not relocate gas lines or perform licensed gas plumbing work.
Can you build a TV wall with a fireplace?
Yes. TV media walls with fireplaces are one of our primary specialties. We can design a custom layout with a mounted TV, electric fireplace, floating shelves, cabinetry, recessed niches, floating benches, LED lighting, and modern wall finishes depending on your wall size and interior style.
Our TV media walls are designed to create a clean focal point for modern Florida living rooms and open-concept homes.
Can the TV be recessed or flush-mounted?
Yes. A recessed TV niche or flush-style TV setup can often be included depending on the wall depth, TV size, mounting system, ventilation requirements, and existing electrical layout.
These details are usually planned during the design stage of the fireplace wall project.
Do you provide the electric fireplace insert?
In many fireplace wall projects, we can include the electric fireplace insert as part of the estimate. If the client already has a preferred fireplace model or wants to purchase one separately, we can review compatibility and adjust the estimate accordingly.
Popular linear electric fireplace brands often include Dimplex and Napoleon Fireplace systems.
What materials are best for fireplace & TV Media walls?
Custom fireplace walls and TV media walls can be finished with a wide range of materials including:
- Shiplap
- Smooth painted finishes
- Limewash
- Stone veneer
- Ledger stone
- Porcelain slab
- Tile finishes
- Acoustic wood slat panels
- MDF and plywood cabinetry
- Floating wood mantels
- Floating shelves
- Custom built-in cabinetry
The best material combination depends on the desired style, budget, room proportions, and overall wall design.
What is the difference between shiplap, limewash, and stone?
Shiplap fireplace walls create a clean modern farmhouse or coastal appearance with linear wall texture and clean lines.
Limewash fireplace walls create a softer mineral-textured finish with a more organic and luxury contemporary appearance.
Stone fireplace walls or ledger stone fireplace walls create a stronger architectural focal point with added texture, depth, and luxury styling. Stone finishes usually require additional labor and material cost compared to painted wall systems.
How long does a fireplace wall project take?
Most custom fireplace wall projects take approximately 3–6 working days depending on wall size, finish complexity, drying time, electrical preparation, cabinetry details, stone installation, and overall project scope.
Larger custom media walls with built-in cabinetry and extensive lighting systems may require additional installation time.
Do you offer custom built-ins and floating shelves?
Yes. We frequently build custom cabinet bases, open shelving systems, floating shelves, floating mantels, side towers, storage sections, media cabinetry, and integrated LED lighting as part of the fireplace wall design.
Many of our luxury fireplace wall projects combine entertainment systems with architectural built-in cabinetry.
Do you paint the finished wall?
Yes. Painting and decorative finishing can be included depending on the selected project package. The final paint color, stain, or finish is usually selected by the client and provided by name or paint code before installation.
We can also match existing interior finishes when possible.
Do you move outlets or electrical wiring?
Basic integration with existing electrical conditions may be included depending on the wall layout. However, major electrical relocation, new circuits, panel modifications, or high-voltage electrical work may require a licensed electrician.
Electrical planning is reviewed before the fireplace wall installation begins.
Do you install TVs?
TV installation can often be included depending on the project scope. The TV itself and mounting bracket are typically not included unless specifically stated in the estimate.
We can also prepare recessed TV layouts and hidden wire management systems for a cleaner built-in appearance.
Do you provide design renderings?
For selected fireplace wall projects, we can prepare a concept layout, visual direction, or simplified rendering before final approval.
Clear wall photos, dimensions, inspiration images, TV size, and project goals help us create a better design direction for your custom fireplace wall.
What information do you need for an estimate?
Please send:
- A photo of the current wall
- Wall width and ceiling height
- Your city or ZIP code
- Inspiration images
- Desired fireplace size or TV size
- Preferred style or finish
- Approximate budget range
Do you come for an in-home estimate first?
Usually, we first review the project remotely and provide a budget range or concept direction. If the project makes sense, we schedule a site visit to confirm measurements, finishes, and final details.
Do you work outside Orlando?
Yes. We serve Orlando and other areas across Florida, including Tampa, Sarasota, Melbourne, Daytona Beach, Fort Myers, and surrounding areas. Travel availability depends on the project size and schedule.
Do you require a deposit?
Yes. A deposit is typically required to reserve the project in the schedule. The remaining balance is usually paid based on agreed project terms.
Can you work with my existing wall or fireplace?
In many cases, yes. We can build over, around, or modify existing structures depending on the condition, framing, depth, fireplace type, and desired final design. Some existing walls may require partial demo or redesign.
Can you match a design I found on Pinterest or Instagram?
Yes. We can use inspiration images as a design direction and adapt the concept to your wall dimensions, ceiling height, fireplace size, TV size, and budget.
What areas in Florida do you serve?
We primarily serve Central Florida and selected surrounding areas, including Orlando, Tampa, Sarasota, Melbourne, Daytona Beach, Fort Myers, and nearby communities.
