Outdoor Fireplace Design-Build & Installation Services

We focus on designing, engineering, and building outdoor fireplaces and fire features that perform in Houston’s climate. Every project is built to code, tuned for draft, and finished with premium materials.

Custom Outdoor Fireplace Construction

Bring your vision to life with a masonry fireplace tailored to your patio, pavilion, or backyard. We build on a reinforced concrete footing, then construct a CMU block core, line the firebox with fire brick and refractory mortar, and finish with Austin chopped stone, Leuders limestone, brick veneer, or stucco. Our team sizes the flue per NFPA 211 and applies the 3-2-10 rule for proper chimney height. NFI oversight and detailed HOA submittals ensure a smooth approval. Learn more about our Custom Outdoor Fireplace Construction services.

Outdoor Gas Fireplace Installation

Prefer push-button warmth without smoke? We install gas fireplaces with electronic ignition, wind-rated chimney caps, and corrosion-resistant hardware for Gulf Coast humidity. A TSBPE-licensed plumber handles the gas line trench, shutoff valve, sediment trap, and pressure test, while a licensed electrician completes ignition and lighting circuits. Choose stainless steel burners, lava rock, or fire glass for a clean, modern look. We coordinate permits with the Harris County Fire Marshal when required. Learn more about our Outdoor Gas Fireplace Installation services.

Stone Outdoor Fireplace Construction

Upgrade curb appeal and durability with natural stone. We veneer a properly cured CMU core using Leuders limestone or Austin stone, cut on a masonry wet saw with diamond blades for tight joints. Heat-resistant sealants, weep details, and drainage grading protect your investment. We tune fireplace orientation for coastal winds common in East Houston and install spark arrestors to reduce ember risk. It’s timeless style built for Houston weather. Learn more about our Stone Outdoor Fireplace Construction services.

Fire Pit Installation

From compact linear gas fire pits to family-friendly round builds, we install fire pits that light reliably and burn clean. Options include stainless steel pans and burners, fire glass or lava rock media, and seat-wall integrations. Gas lines are permitted and pressure-tested; propane hookups are configured with code-compliant regulators and enclosures. We also offer safety add-ons like wind guards and electronic ignition. Ask about burn ban best practices in Harris County. Learn more about our Fire Pit Installation services.

Outdoor Fireplace Repair

Smoke roll-out, cracked fire brick, rusted burners, or failing stucco? We diagnose draft issues, replace refractory panels, upgrade chimney caps and spark arrestors, and repair gas components. Our airflow testing helps fix smoke blowback and improper flue sizing. We also refinish stone and brick, re-point mortar, and add TV niches with proper heat deflection. Annual safety inspections and maintenance plans keep everything operating safely. Learn more about our Outdoor Fireplace Repair services.

Why Choose Us for Outdoor Fireplaces in Cloverleaf, TX

Houston Outdoor Fireplaces brings certified expertise, local permitting know-how, and proven craftsmanship to every build. From Isokern modular systems to handcrafted masonry, we design and install fire features that draft well and last. For Outdoor Fireplace Cloverleaf TX projects, our team handles HOA approvals, Harris County requirements, and on-site safety so your experience stays easy and predictable.

Certified Expertise You Can Trust

Our leads hold National Fireplace Institute (NFI) credentials and maintain HPBA education credits. We follow NFPA 211 and the International Residential Code for flue sizing, clearances to combustibles, and under-roof installations. Masonry techs train to MCAA standards, and all crew members complete OSHA 10/30 safety training.

We specify materials that perform: refractory fire brick with high-heat mortar, stainless burners, and corrosion-resistant fasteners. For speed and consistency, we also offer Isokern pumice modular fireplaces and Majestic Courtyard units - great options when HOA timelines are tight or access is limited.

Safety, Permits, and HOA - Handled

Unincorporated Harris County projects often require coordination with the Fire Marshal, especially for gas piping and inspections. In the City of Houston, certain decorative gas appliances need a mechanical permit. We clarify the path, prepare drawings, and schedule inspections so there are no surprises.

Gas lines are always installed by a TSBPE-licensed plumber and pressure-tested with a manometer. Electrical for ignition and lighting is completed by a licensed electrician. We provide spark arrestors, apply the 3-2-10 chimney rule, and verify clearances for under-patio builds - so your fireplace works safely on day one.

Built for Houston’s Climate and East-Side Winds

Humidity and coastal air demand the right spec: Leuders limestone or brick veneer over a CMU core, heat-resistant sealants, and properly vented chimney caps. We prioritize drainage, weep details, and slab reinforcement to prevent settlement. Hardware and burners are selected for corrosion resistance in Gulf Coast conditions.

Cloverleaf and North Shore see gusty crosswinds off the Ship Channel. We tune orientation with on-site airflow checks, offer wind screens where needed, and design taller flues or offset stacks to improve draft. Freeze protection for gas valves and lines keeps systems reliable year-round.

Local Service, Proven Results, Real Warranty

We’re local, responsive, and bilingual (English/Español). Expect clear communication, jobsite cleanliness, and punctual crews. Our workmanship warranty is in writing, and we offer annual safety inspections and maintenance plans for worry-free ownership.

Recent example: a 77015 under-pavilion wood-burning fireplace with a TV niche and seating walls. Draft issues from crosswinds were solved using a slightly taller flue, a directional cap, and a smoke shelf adjustment. The project finished in 10 days - on budget and HOA-approved the first time.

Built right, permitted right - book your on-site consultation

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you need a permit for an outdoor fireplace or gas fire pit in Harris County?

Often, yes. In unincorporated Harris County, the Fire Marshal may require permits and inspections, especially for new gas piping. In the City of Houston, certain decorative gas appliances need a mechanical permit. We coordinate with an NFI-certified team, a TSBPE-licensed plumber for gas lines, and a licensed electrician for ignition. We also prepare HOA submittals and handle inspection scheduling so your Cloverleaf project passes the first time.

How much does it cost to build an outdoor fireplace in Cloverleaf?

Budgets vary by design, materials, and utilities. Simple Isokern-based builds with stone veneer typically start around $6,500–$10,500. Fully custom masonry fireplaces with Leuders or Austin stone, chimney cap, and seating walls often range $12,000–$22,000+. Add-ons like a gas line, electronic ignition, TV niche, or new slab can increase cost. We’ll provide a written, itemized estimate for your 77015 property after a quick site visit.

How far should an outdoor fireplace be from the house or property line?

Clearances depend on unit type, manufacturer instructions, and local code. For wood-burning masonry under open sky, we follow NFPA 211 and apply the 3‑2‑10 rule for chimney height to help draft safely. Under a patio cover, we verify IRC/NFPA clearances to framing and finishes. Setbacks to property lines vary by HOA and jurisdiction. We’ll confirm exact distances for your Cloverleaf lot and provide drawings for approval.

Can I use a fire pit during a Harris County burn ban?

During an active burn ban, wood-burning is typically restricted. However, properly installed gas fire pits that do not produce embers are often allowed. Rules can change, and TCEQ guidance may apply. We’ll help you interpret the current order, add a spark arrestor or wind guard if needed, and design a compliant setup so you can enjoy your space safely in East Houston.

Is gas or wood better for an outdoor fireplace in humid Houston weather?

Gas offers clean burning, easy start, and fewer smoke issues in coastal winds - great for covered patios and TV areas. Wood delivers classic crackle and heat but needs seasoned fuel and more maintenance. For both, we specify corrosion-resistant hardware, stainless burners, and quality caps to handle Gulf Coast humidity. We’ll help you choose the best fit for your Cloverleaf lifestyle and HOA rules.

What chimney height is required for outdoor fireplaces (3‑2‑10 rule)?

The 3‑2‑10 rule says the chimney must be at least 3 feet above the roof penetration and 2 feet higher than any part of the structure within 10 feet. Outdoor projects still benefit from these principles to promote draft and reduce smoke roll‑out. We also consider wind patterns in North Shore and add directional caps or taller flues when site conditions call for it.

Are Isokern modular outdoor fireplaces good for Texas climates?

Yes. Isokern pumice modules are lightweight, insulative, and assemble quickly - ideal for HOA timelines and tight access. We veneer them with Austin stone, Leuders limestone, brick, or stucco, add a proper chimney cap and spark arrestor, and tune the opening-to-flue ratio for reliable draft. They’re a smart, durable choice for many Cloverleaf backyards.

Can an outdoor fireplace be installed under a covered patio?

Absolutely - with the right unit and clearances. We verify IRC/NFPA requirements, add noncombustible finishes, and often recommend gas fireplaces with electronic ignition to minimize smoke under roof. Heat deflection, mantel shields, and TV stand-offs protect finishes. We’ll provide engineered details and handle permits so your covered patio stays comfortable and code‑compliant.

Do I need a Harris County permit to run a new natural gas line to a backyard fireplace in Cloverleaf (77015)?

Yes, new gas piping requires a permit and pressure test. We coordinate a TSBPE-licensed plumber to trench, install a shutoff valve and sediment trap, and perform a manometer test for inspection. Our team manages the paperwork, inspection scheduling, and final start‑up so your gas fireplace or fire pit is safe and compliant.

¿Se requiere permiso para instalar una chimenea exterior o fogata a gas en Cloverleaf, Texas?

Generalmente sí. En áreas no incorporadas del Condado de Harris, se necesita permiso e inspección para líneas de gas. En la Ciudad de Houston, algunos aparatos de gas decorativos requieren permiso mecánico. Nuestro equipo bilingüe prepara planos, coordina plomería (licencia TSBPE) y electricidad, y agenda la inspección para que su proyecto pase a la primera.
