Brick Hearth Installation Cost

Construction ITEM DESCRIPTION

Masonry construction estimating cost for a fireplace hearth, built from brick and firebrick.

This price only covers brickwork for the hearth portion of the fireplace. Add facing bricks separately (or use the full masonry fireplace unit cost instead of this one). Add damper door, ash door, screen and any other details separately. Also add demolition costs if you are rebuilding an existing hearth.

Unit Size

One fireplace

Labor Costs

We figure about 8 skilled hours to build the hearth.

Material Costs

We figure about 120 standard bricks and 70 firebricks, plus mortar raw materials.

Suggested Quantity

No suggested quantity. Enter the number of fireplace hearths being built.

Source of Construction Pricing

This is a very ballpark estimate, based on our costs for reconstructing one existing fireplace hearth.

The actual cost for building or rebuilding a new fireplace hearth will depend on the size, construction details and quality of construction that are specified for the work.
