Is $4,195 to repair and upgrade fireplace components a fair price?
Project Details
I just texted to ask if they could just replace the rear panel, then paint them all to match. If that's okay, that would cut the cost in half for a repair. I've also asked about an electric replacement. I know that won't generate much heat, but my wife really just likes the look of a fire.
