Fireplaces are a staple feature in many new residential builds. For today’s homebuilders, the question
is rarely whether to include a fireplace—but rather how complete that fireplace should be when the
homeowner receives the keys.
Installing gas logs during construction, instead of leaving the upgrade to the homeowner after closing,
offers clear advantages in cost efficiency, buyer satisfaction, safety, and long-term value.
Add More Value Without Adding Complexity
When gas logs are installed during construction, builders benefit from bulk purchasing, coordinated
labor schedules, and single-pass inspections. For buyers, a finished fireplace feels like a premium
feature—not an unfinished detail.
Streamlined Installation During the Build Phase
Gas lines and access are already in place during construction, allowing for faster and cleaner
installation.
A Better Buyer Experience From Day One
Including gas logs allows homeowners to enjoy their fireplace immediately without post-close
disruption.
Improved Safety and Reduced Liability
Installing approved gas logs during construction ensures proper installation, code compliance, and
reduced long-term liability.
Stand Out in Competitive Markets
Finished fireplaces elevate model homes and improve listing photos.
Stronger Appraisal and Resale Appeal
A fully functional fireplace is more likely to be recognized as a finished feature during appraisal and
resale.
Fewer Post-Sale Questions and Warranty Issues
Builder-installed gas logs provide clear documentation and warranty coverage.
