Fireplace Stone Installation
Custom stone and tile fireplace surrounds, mantels, and hearths.
What This Service Includes
A stone fireplace is a defining architectural feature, a focal point that anchors a room and creates an atmosphere of warmth, permanence, and luxury. At California Tile & Stone, we design and install custom stone and tile fireplace surrounds, mantels, hearths, and full floor-to-ceiling feature walls.
Our fireplace installations begin with a design consultation where we discuss your vision, the architectural style of your home, and the characteristics of different stone materials. Marble creates refined, classical elegance. Granite offers dramatic depth. Limestone provides soft, understated warmth. Stacked stone delivers rustic texture.
Full surround installations frame the firebox with stone or tile on all visible surfaces. We fabricate custom-sized pieces in our shop using CNC equipment, ensuring tight joints and precise alignment.


Floor-to-ceiling fireplace walls represent the most dramatic expression of stone in a living space. These installations require careful structural assessment, precise layout planning, and skilled execution.
Mantel and hearth stone fabrication is handled in our shop with the same precision we bring to countertop fabrication. Mantels are cut from solid stone slabs, profiled on the edges, and finished to match the surround material.
