Fireplace Redo

I need to redo this fireplace. Only thing left in the house and still left on my punch list. A friend of mine botch up the job and for 2 years I have been looking at this and want to get someone in my house to either to redo the whole thing or fix it. I have brown masking tape on the marble where there are spaces b/c he didn't use a tile cutter. I also need to add a shelf. Where can I find a professional to correct this? P.S. The reason for the wait is because of financial means and just obtained a full time position in October with an awesome law firm. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Deborah there are many contractors in your area who are members of the Hometalk community and I would suggest you start your search with them. You can find them by using the search function at the top of the page and the dropdown menu for contractors. Good luck. And congratulations on the new job.

Are you looking for a new mantle and surround? There are several stone fabricators on hometalk that we can refer you to.

Here is one local stone fabricator that may be able to help you- http://www.hometalk.com/member/sn43dld76k
You can also do a search to "tile" under the search button to find tile installers.

what about a wood mantel and cover to go over the fireplace and it could be distressed to make it look older..

Hi Debora,I think you need a mantel with the columns built out and cabinets and shelving on either side to cover the whole wall which would make it more of a focal point and also look like a nice piece of furniture, which in turn will give storage and able to add some decorative pieces on the shelves. the tile can be replaced with other tile very easily. good luck!

Don't know what I really want. Money is not the reason for holding off, just want to make sure. I get so confused and unsure when I can't visualize something and then I will put something on hold b/c I don't see it. One of my defects to say the least. You got the job, I just got to figure out what I want.
