Which Fireplaces Can You Paint?
Not all fireplaces are built the same, and not all of them can (or should) be painted. In short, if your fireplace has brick or stone surrounding it, then it can be painted, regardless of the type of fuel used. Here’s how we approach different fireplace types to ensure safety, durability, and long-lasting beauty:

Brick & Masonry Fireplaces
These are the most common and paint-friendly types. Whether you want a smooth painted look or a soft, natural mineral finish, we use Sherwin-Williams masonry-grade coatings for lasting results. Brick and stone surfaces provide a solid foundation for a custom finish that updates your fireplace without requiring renovation.

Gas Fireplaces
Can a gas fireplace be painted? Yes, if it’s surrounded by brick or stone, we can safely paint those surfaces. We avoid painting any components exposed to direct flame. Our team will evaluate the material and apply heat-resistant coatings to ensure a beautiful and safe finish that complements your home’s style.

Electric Fireplaces
Electric fireplaces can often be painted if the unit is inset or framed by a traditional mantel or surround. For standalone models or those without a fixed structure, we typically recommend leaving them as they are. We’ll advise you on the best approach to ensure your painted fireplace is both safe and attractive, and will last for years to come.

Wood-Burning Stoves
Whether your wood-burning stove is framed by brick, tile, or stone, we can paint or refinish the exterior surround using heat-tolerant coatings. Like with gas fireplaces, we avoid surfaces exposed to direct flame. Our focus is on updating the fireplace surround in a way that’s both functional and visually appealing.

Outdoor Fireplaces
Outdoor fireplaces made of brick, stone, or concrete can be painted or limewashed as long as the masonry is in good condition. We use Sherwin-Williams products rated explicitly for exterior use to ensure weather resistance, moisture control, and a long-lasting finish that enhances curb appeal throughout the year.
Why Fireplace Painting is a Smart Home Improvement

If your fireplace feels dated or doesn’t match your current style, fireplace painting is one of the most effective and affordable home improvement solutions available. Instead of a complete tear-out or costly rebuild, a high-quality paint transformation can breathe new life into your space.
At HBP, we specialize in fireplace renovations that give your hearth a completely new look, whether that means refreshing brick, updating the fireplace mantel, or tying it into the rest of your living room decor.
We take the time to help you choose the right finish and color to complement your home, ensuring the final result feels intentional and polished.
Make Your Fireplace the Focal Point of Your Living Room
Your fireplace isn’t just functional, it’s a natural focal point in your living room. Whether you’re relaxing with family or entertaining guests, all eyes tend to settle on the hearth. That’s why a tired or outdated fireplace can throw off the entire aesthetic of your space.
Our team can help you reclaim your fireplace as the visual anchor it was meant to be. From bold colors to subtle neutrals, we work with you to select a paint color and style that enhances your surroundings.
The result? A space that feels curated, cohesive, and truly inviting.
