Fireplace Refacing Services in Orlando, Florida
A worn or dated fireplace detracts from your Orlando home's aesthetic and resale appeal. Fireplace refacing replaces the existing surround, hearth, and facade with new stone, brick, tile, or composite materials without removing the functional firebox or chimney structure. Bill Morgan inc completes most refacing projects in 1-3 days, minimizing disruption to your Winter Park, Maitland, or Lake Mary home while delivering dramatic visual upgrades.
Our fireplace refacing process begins with on-site inspection and material selection from options including real stone veneer, manufactured stone, ceramic tile, and shiplap surrounds. We remove the old surround, prepare the substrate per NFPA codes, apply moisture barriers, and install your chosen materials with polyurethane adhesive or thin-set mortar. Final steps include grout application, sealing for durability, and hearth finishing-all completed with minimal mess and same-day cleanup across Orlando neighborhoods from Dr. Phillips to Kissimmee.

Our Fireplace Refacing Process
Inspection and Design Consultation
We visit your Orlando-area home (Winter Park, Oviedo, Casselberry, etc.) to assess the existing fireplace, take measurements, and review material samples including stone veneer, tile, and brick options. This consultation takes 30-45 minutes and is free for Bill Morgan inc customers.
Material Selection and Preparation
You choose from premium manufacturers like Cultured Stone, Eldorado Stone, or real granite and limestone. We order materials (5-7 day lead time) while preparing the job site with drop cloths and temporary barriers to contain dust and debris.
Substrate Prep and Removal
Our crew removes the old surround, inspects the firebox for damage, and preps the substrate with wire mesh and fire-rated cement board. This phase takes 4-8 hours depending on existing material type and complexity.
Veneer or Tile Installation
We apply thin-set mortar or polyurethane adhesive and install your stone, tile, or brick according to manufacturer specs and NFPA 211 standards. Most fireplace refacing installations complete within 1 day of active work.
Grouting, Sealing, and Final Finishing
Grout is applied, smoothed, and colored to match your design. We seal stone per manufacturer recommendations and apply caulk around trim. Final cleanup and walkthrough occur the same day, with your fireplace ready to enjoy immediately.
