Our handcrafted mantel covers are thoughtfully designed for simple, homeowner-friendly installation. In most cases, installation takes less than 10 minutes, requires no special tools, and can be completed with basic DIY skill. Each order includes installation hardware and clear, step-by-step instructions, and you can also view our detailed installation guides here for added confidence and support.

In most cases, yes. Our custom fireplace mantel covers are specifically designed to fit over your existing mantel rather than replace it.

We build each cover to your exact measurements, allowing it to slide over the current structure and create a seamless, finished look. This approach works well for wood, brick, stone, and cement mantels — including many older fireplaces that may not be perfectly square.

The key is accurate measuring. We provide a simple step-by-step measurement guide to ensure the cover fits properly and accounts for minor irregularities.

If your mantel has unusual details such as corbels, deep overhangs, or uneven masonry, you can send us photos along with your measurements. We’ll review everything and confirm the best fit before production begins.

For added confidence, many customers choose to order wood and stain samples first to confirm color and finish before placing their mantel order.

That’s very common — especially with brick or stone fireplaces. Masonry surfaces are rarely perfectly flat, level, or square, particularly in older homes.

Our custom mantel covers are designed with this in mind. Because each piece is built to your exact measurements, we account for normal variations in brick depth, mortar lines, and slight unevenness.

In many installations, small gaps behind the mantel are completely normal and typically not visible once the cover is installed. The finished face and bottom edge are what you see, and those remain clean and intentional.

If your fireplace has significant irregularities, stepped brick, or unusual contours, we recommend sending photos along with your measurements. We’ll review everything and advise on the best approach before your mantel is built.

We’ll keep you updated every step of the way so you know exactly when to expect your order.

The primary factors that influence price are size, proportions, and construction details.

Because each mantel cover is made to order, larger dimensions require more solid wood, additional structural reinforcement, and more finishing time. Depth, in particular, increases material usage significantly, while longer spans require added internal support to maintain strength and stability.

Style also plays a role. Rustic mantel covers use rough-sawn pine and traditional beam-style construction, while modern designs use a different grade of wood and a more refined finishing process.

Finally, custom features — such as notches to fit around a surround, extended overhangs, or unique proportions — can affect pricing depending on the complexity involved.

We provide clear, size-based pricing so you can understand exactly what your dimensions fall into. If you’re unsure, you’re always welcome to send your measurements and photos, and we’ll confirm pricing before you place an order.

For most customers, the first step is confirming measurements and ordering stain samples to ensure the final result looks exactly as intended.
