We worked with Debbie the whole time and started the process to order a fireplace mantle when we were in escrow months ago. Once we got the keys, design expert Michael came out and helped us narrow down the design and measured our existing old fireplace and firebox, and discussed how it would look installed, and helped us pick a color and material finish. We went back and forth and finalized the drawings for a design we liked (Josephine, one of the LA Cast Stone designs, SoCal Fireplace Mantels' new parent company). We paid the deposit and signed off on the drawings and our fireplace went into the queue for manufacturing. Weeks later we got a call to see the final piece in the factory, and the next day they installed it. Francisco and Juan drove out in a big van and brought the pieces (mantel, filler block pieces, hearth). They set up a canopy and worked in the driveway and living room. They demolished the old chunky fireplace (but kindly helped us salvage much of the old marble stone tiles). They framed and drywalled and leveled and mudded the wall. Then they cleaned up the floor and installed the new hearth with cement and cement board, then attached the filler pieces to the wall. Then they set the mantel down in place and measured a bunch, took it outside and shaved parts off the back, then brought it in again to see that it fit perfectly. Then they moved it out of the way again, added a 2x4 horizontal structured brace to hold the upper part of the fireplace against the wall, then finally set the fireplace using cement and shims. Then they cleaned up everything and grouted every little joint between the pieces and between the mantel and the wall. It took these experts eight hours but they worked like clockwork to attend to every detail. The results blew us away and we couldn't be more pleased. The fireplace looks like a carved stone piece that should cost three to five times as much money. We picked a material finish that highlights the stone nature of the piece and it exudes a feeling of quality and craftsmanship. It is substantial but looks crisp and detailed. It is solid but has a certain lightness and effortlessness that we will cherish for years to come. 1000% would recommend getting their install team to do the work because they will do it right. Pleased as punch. We feel blessed to have found such a showstopper piece to replace our old frumpy downer of a fireplace. The room feels new, and once we texture and paint and then replace the floor it will feel like a zillion bucks.
I can't give enough praises to this business. They made everything pretty easy. We first went to their office and Joseph greeted us. He allowed us to look around and even go to the back showroom. That's where we learned that they manufactured these mantels on site. Great news so we don't have to depend on other countries, right? Then Michael from sales came to the house to measure and give advice. He's very professional and even loves dogs. He took the time to answer all my questions. After deciding that we want to go with them, we went to their office again since my husband has more construction-type questions. Michael was in the office so he explained everything again to my husband at which point I decided to change the style since now a wall has to be built. Chose the Aphrodite and I wasn't sorry. It's beautiful. Debbie who works with them in the office is very good in communicating via text and phone calls. Francisco and crew (3 ppl) came to the house for installation. They know what they're doing. They set-up a pop up tent in the front yard and brought out all their tools and materials. They had to custom fit the pieces and it was done perfectly in my opinion. There was never a time when I was worried about my purchase. Satisfied from start to finish. I highly recommend. They don't do fireplaces, just the mantels so keep that in mind.
Joseph and his team are professionals. Pricing is very reasonable, service is excellent, and quality is also excellent. Joseph made multiple site visits and several phone calls prior to any work or receiving any funds to make sure the project is done properly. Having had a lot of experience with contractors and remodeling industry (sometimes people don't even finish jobs or don't quote accurately) I can say Joseph is a gem. Highly recommend for fireplace installs.
Just had my beautiful new mantel from So Cal Fireplace put in and it turned out amazing. Michael the sales rep was courteous and very helpful with my questions and helping keep in my budget. The installer cleaned up well and made sure I was happy.
Fireplace remodel was completed in two days which included demo of the old rock facade, replacement/tape/finish of drywall and install of new hearth/legs/mantel. We are extremely happy with the results, Joseph was great to with from quote to finish. Installer Francisco and his helper did a wonderful job and left the area very clean, they have impeccable craftsmanship, are hard working and take pride in their work. Their prices vary depending on the design you choose, but are all very reasonable considering the amount of labor involved. I definitely recommend SoCal Fireplace and Mantels for your remodel/upgrade to your existing fireplace.
I can't say enough good things about SoCal Fireplace Mantels. Michael was patient and took his time explaining our options. We went with one of their largest model- Goliath. The install was 3-4 weeks after we signed and it took about 6 hours. Last week our fireplace was installed and it has transformed our living room. It is the first thing you see when you walk into our home (picture shows the view from entryway) and the "Ooh's and Ahh's" we hear from family and friends prove how beautiful and elegant it is. Thank you to Michael, the clean and courteous install crew, and the office staff we dealt with over the phone. We are so happy and pleased with our fireplace and highly recommend you to all Yelpers.
Amazing work and excellent customer service. We upgraded our hideous river rock fireplace. We are beyond happy with SoCal Fireplace! We will call again when we need to do our second fireplace. Thank you so much!!
We can't thank this company enough. Their work was phenomenal. As you can see from the pictures, everything was spot on. From the carvings, to the color of the stone... it was everything my family and I had requested upon. This company was a pleasure to work with because they were organized, honest, and the workers were trustworthy. They did not leave UNTIL they finished every detail of their job, even if it meant staying past 9:00 pm!!!!!!! Not to mention that they were affordable and worked with our budget as well. Thank you for making our house one more detail beautiful. I highly recommend working with this company for a fireplace remodel.
It's been over two months since Joseph helped me select the perfect fire place and I am still amazed everytime I walk into my family room. Not only is the fireplace the perfect fit and style for my home, the installation was smooth, the price was right, and the installers were professional and cleaned up after themselves. Thank you Socal.
First and foremost, Socal Fireplace mantels exceeded our expectations. After trying to contact many other companies and not having any success, we turned to Yelp. Our journey with Socal started by calling them and that's when Debbie answered our call. She was really nice, and scheduled our appointment with Joseph. Joseph showed up to our consultation appointment on time. He was very detailed in explaining every step of their process, the materials they use, and answered all the questions we threw his way. They are a family operated business and that's what's great about them. You get great personalized service and amazing quality without breaking the bank too much. Their install crew is top notch. They did a great job of covering up our new floors and sectional. During demolition they even added cushioned quilts on top of the covered floors in case anything fell. They work fast and have a vey efficient process. If you're looking to update your mantel, you must give this company a chance to earn your business. Joseph is super patient, and always makes himself available to answer questions or concerns. Too bad I only have 1 fireplace. It was a pleasure working with them.
Very happy with Joseph & his company. High level of integrity and impeccable customer service. Love our new space!
SoCal Fireplace was the first company I called, normally I will get three quotes to compare the prices, quality and services, but, when Joseph came to my house, I knew that's it and turned out I was right. Joseph was very professional and helpfully. He took the project personally. First, I wasn't going to get the gate, he searched website try to find a gloss door that fit my fireplace box which he doesn't make money, I buy directly myself, then I decided to change the gate, he came to my house again to measure it, help me choose the color and style. At 9 PM, I text him I changed my mind on the style. No problem! He was very patient with me. The whole process started before the New Years and he was on vacation out of country, he would answer my email within a few hours to answer my questions and concern. At the same time, I was changing the floor to tiles and I would like to have the hearth in the same level as the floor, he would work with my schedule to get installed before the tiles. The installation guys did a great job. I was amazed by how they tried to keep everything clean. They cut in my backyard, one guy was cutting, at the same time the other guy use vacuum sucking the dust, it reminded me when I get teeth cleaned in the dentist office. By end of the day, everything is clean, neat and my fireplace is gorgeous! The whole experience was amazing! I am very happy and thankful. I highly recommended SoCal Fireplace Mantels.
We had a unique raised hearth from our builder and the hearth top sat back from the edge- instead of hanging over the edge. After searching for pre-cast items for years, we found SoCal Fireplace and had a custom hearth and new surround made. Joseph was so kind on the phone, met us 2 times at our house to discuss the project. The items were ready earlier than expected. Francisco and Juan, who installed the hearth and surround, were very polite, clean, precise about the installation. It looks great and cannot wait to finish the room.
I stopped by this business to inquire about a fire mantle replacement for my home. I was greeted by Debbie, who was very knowledgeable about the work done at this facility. After a brief discussion I proceeded to make an appointment, which subsequently lead to an in home visit and measurements taken. To my knowledge, this business offers natural stone (1 year warranty) or cast stone (15 year warranty). I went with the 2nd choice. They been in business for years. After 4 weeks, I received the call that my mantle was ready for final inspection and install. Francisco & Juan Torres came to my house to install the mantle. They arrived on time ready to work. The job required demolition of the old facade and of course, new install. I can not stress enough how pleased I am with the quality of service that both Francisco & Juan delivered! They took the time to do all of the prep work, maintained a clean work area through out the immediate work area, without creating any inconveniences for me. Francisco & Juan completed the job on time while delivering exceptional work!They took the time by paying attention to every detail during the installation and custom fitted pieces to achieve the best result. I was very pleased with the outcome! My mantle looks amazing! Thank you! I highly recommend So Cal Fire Place Mantles for their quality product, and high degree of professionalism and dedication to the work that they do to ensure maximum customer satisfaction. I highly recommend them to anyone. You will not be disappointed. Thank you! read more

These guys were great from beginning to end. Joseph was very professional, knowledgeable and most of all patient with my decision-making. He visited my house twice for an assessment (at my request), provided me with endless photos for ideas, invited me to the showroom to see their mantels in person and provided drawings before final approval. Communication was an A+ as well which is always appreciated when it comes to home renovation and contractor work. The installation process was smooth, clean and professional. We couldn't be happier with our new mantel. read more

We were having a difficult time finding a mantel that would work for our fireplace, because of the unique configuration of our family room. The fireplace is double-sided, so that it was visible from both the living room and family room. Plus, there are openings on either side of the fireplace, allowing you to see from one room to the other. Lastly, in the family room, there are cubbyholes on either side of the fireplace, which we use for the TV on one side, and the sound system on the other, and we needed to run multiple cables from one side to the other. I have uploaded a photo of the completed mantel (at Christmas time), to show the difficult situation. We called SoCal Fireplace because their website showed some (cast) mantels that might work for us. Joseph was very knowledgeable on the phone, and Michael came to our home to explain what would work, and what wouldn't. Michael then took photos and detailed measurements, which were apparently perfect, because the cast mantel is a perfect fit. When Francisco & his assistant arrived to do the installation, we were immediately impressed with the amount of preparation they performed prior to starting the demolition of the old fireplace. The entire pathway from the front door to the family room fireplace was completely covered. Then the fireplace area was completely enclosed in plastic sheeting to contain any dust. But there wasn't much dust, because they didn't really "demolish" the old fireplace... they carefully "disassembled" it. Running the stereo cables through the walls from one side of the fireplace to the other turned out to be more complicated than expected, and poor Francisco made two trips to Home Depot for supplies, because he wanted to make it perfect. Most contractors would have stopped work when it was "close enough," but Francisco is a perfectionist, and we are very grateful for that. Once the cabling was done, the rest of the installation went smoothly. And when they were done, they did a great job on the cleanup, including the necessary vacuuming. They were so careful and skilled in their work, that we didn't need to do any of the drywall repair or touch-up painting that we had expected to do. To summarize, we couldn't be happier with our SoCal Fireplace experience. Everyone we dealt with (Joseph on the phone, Debbie by email, Michael the design consultant, and Francisco the installer) was friendly and professional, and went out of their way to make sure we were happy with the result. read more

After shopping around for a while, we were extremely happy we chose SoCal. Our fireplace came out great. It is truly the centerpiece of our living room. We get so many compliments on it. We are extremely pleased with how it came out. SoCal was so knowledge about and I believe saved us from choosing the wrong fireplace for our space. It's not as easy as picking a picture out of a catalog. They really know what they are talking about. Highly recommend! read more

So Cal Fireplace Mantels was the easiest firm I've worked with doing any kind of remodel. Joseph and his team were extremely helpful, and the best part was how communicative they were with every step of the process. they were also very quick to alert me for any issue they foresaw, and the turn around time was incredibly quick. Love the service they provided for wonderful new upgraded fireplace mantle. Their costs were reasonable, and even installers who demo'd my old mantle and installed a new one worked extra hard to make sure everything was perfect. I still have a little ways to go with my project such as getting my walls re-painted, but the new mantle is a huge improvement over the old mantle. Thanks guys! read more

Recently we had So Cal Fireplace Mantels redo our fireplace. We had an old small one that looked out of proportion on our wall. Joseph came to our house did all of the measurements & then explained to me exactly how they would make the beautiful new fireplace for our living room. We decided to make the trip to Van Nuys to see, in person, what the new fireplace would look like. Our new fireplace looks beautiful & adds so much to our living room. We are very pleased!! This is a very high quality company & very trustworthy!! See photo below. read more
