I got off the phone last night with a decent Stone mason who quoted without seeing the hearth rebuild, over $2500-3500 to rebuild with natural stone (I am supplying) and ash beam(mantel-- I am supplying) my hearth. I will dismantle the original brown brick hearth and it might be possible to use the existing Lintel. Total sq footage of the job will not exceed 50'. Hearth is to be approx 81" wide x 50" high.
His quote is more than the price of the new Summit insert. WTF?
just venting a bit. Time to call other masons.
