A fire feature is what keeps the room in use after the sun drops. Built into the structure from the first drawing — surround, hearth, flue, gas line and the TV above it — so nothing looks added on later.
Every one of these is planned with the structure — wired inside the frame, sized to your space, and controlled alongside the roof. That is the difference between an accessory and an afterthought.
The surround, hearth and flue are drawn with the pergola, so the chimney clears the roof and the louvers still open fully. Retro-fitting a fireplace under a finished pergola is where most of them go wrong.
A linear gas firebox for instant heat and a clean modern line, or a traditional wood-burning firebox with a raised hearth and a mantel. Gas runs are coordinated with a licensed contractor under our scope.
Almost every fireplace we build carries a weatherproof TV above the mantel. The conduit, the mount blocking and the power are set during the build.
Stone, stucco or a finish matched to the house. On a modern build the surround becomes a clean plastered column; on a classic one, full stone with a timber mantel.
A fireplace heats the space; the screens hold the heat in. Together they are what make the room usable in November.

Accessories are priced with the project, not bolted on after.
Size drives the investment first, then attachment to the house, then what you add. The pergola page publishes the full range — from around $65,000 for a 16 × 20 ft system — and exactly what that figure includes. See what it costs and what you get.
A free Zoom consultation first, then photorealistic renderings of the whole room on your actual home — structure, fireplaces and all — with a fixed-price proposal. Engineering and permitting handled or assisted where required.
