Fireplace
Makeover
The fireplace is usually the main
focal point of almost any room. If it’s an eyesore, it can
bring the whole room down. Ron visits a Pacifica, California
home to demonstrate how, with the right tools and a little bit
of know-how, a fireplace makeover can make a home and hearth
feel warm and cozy. |
Fireplace
Mantel
If you’d like to build a
decorative shelf or mantel, you can choose from a wide range
of materials such as red oak, poplar or #2 white pine.
Although you can stain the oak and poplar, it’s generally
best to paint pine.

Fireplace
Mantel
A fireplace is usually just a
black hole in the wall until it is framed by decorative
elements called a surround and mantel. The mantel makes the
fireplace a focal point and sets the style for a room. If you
have recently installed a zero-clearance fireplace or want to
change the style of an existing masonry fireplace, you have
two options: using a mantel kit or building one yourself. Here
we show you how to build your own. |

Fireplace
Mantle
In this segment of HouseCalls,
Ron visited Novi, Michigan, a western suburb of Detroit, where
he was asked to drop in on the Coppa family to show them how
to create a beautiful handcrafted fireplace mantel. Every
existing fireplace design is different. Based on what the
Coppas had explained to Ron over the phone, he was able to
create a working plan of the project, before he arrived. |
