Fireplace Surrounds
Transform your fireplace into a dramatic focal point with a custom stone surround. From floor-to-ceiling slab installations to classic mantel wraps, we craft fireplace surrounds that anchor your living space with warmth and elegance.
Overview
A fireplace surround sets the visual tone for your entire room. At Olivas Granite, we design and install custom stone surrounds that turn your fireplace into the centerpiece it was meant to be. Whether you prefer the clean lines of a modern full-slab surround or the timeless elegance of a traditional mantel with stone accents, our team brings your vision to life with precision craftsmanship.
We work with granite, quartzite, marble, and porcelain slabs to create surrounds that are heat-safe, low-maintenance, and built to last a lifetime. Every installation is custom — templated to your fireplace dimensions and fabricated to your exact design specifications.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is natural stone safe to use around a fireplace?
Yes. Granite, quartzite, and marble are naturally heat-resistant and are widely used around fireplaces. We always ensure proper clearance from the firebox per manufacturer specifications and local building codes.
Can you do a floor-to-ceiling slab surround?
Absolutely — this is one of our most popular designs. We use full slabs (up to 130 inches) and plan seam placement carefully to minimize visibility. For extra-tall walls, we align seams horizontally and match veining for a seamless look.
What about the mantel shelf — is that stone too?
It can be. We fabricate matching stone mantel shelves in various thicknesses and profiles. Alternatively, we can design the surround to accommodate a wood mantel shelf if you prefer a mixed-material look.
Can you work around a TV mount above the fireplace?
Yes. We routinely plan surrounds around recessed TV mounts, outlet boxes, and conduit paths. We coordinate with your electrician or AV installer to ensure everything lines up perfectly.
How long does a fireplace surround project take?
Most fireplace surround projects take 2–3 weeks from consultation to completed installation. The actual on-site installation is typically 1–2 days depending on complexity.
