Hi there. We are interested in changing the look of our brick gas fireplace. We thought of simply painting the bricks to change the appearance, but we’ve chose that we want to transform it completely. That is, we want a stone fireplace. I’m hoping this is a possible task (especially with all of those faux stone products out there). I’m wondering if anyone has suggestions of what products or what company I could use in order to go forward with this project. Thanks for your time and for sharing your thoughts!

you could take the brick face down , do able but not simple…and have real stone laid…or have cultured stone place right over the existing brick…

Stone Facing products can look incredibly excellent after its installed, you’d wonder why you didn’t do it sooner.
There are more possibilities than just “Cultured Stone brand” of it, although they have a lot of selection and are very successful and well loved too. Also check some gorgeous, high quality selections from Boulder Creek Stone, and Centurion Stone, and Mohawk Stone, and Eldorado Stone.
The Boulder Creek website has brilliant installation instructions that really get strong installation results.
Also, lately there is more availability and demand for actual real natural stone cut to thin veneers, but that will cost you close to double the cost of the other kinds.
