Gas fireplaces and wood-to-gas conversions in Bellevue & Medina.

Sound Fire Solutions provides fireplace installation in Bellevue and Medina, including fireplace insert installation for older homes and fire pit installation for patios, pool decks, and lakefront terraces. We work from Bridle Trails and Somerset to Enatai and Newport Hills, and across Medina, Clyde Hill, and Hunts Point, handling the unit, the venting, the gas line, and the permit.

From mid-century ramblers to new builds.

Bellevue grew fast after the war, and a lot of 1950s and 1960s ramblers and split-levels still have masonry fireplaces built for wood. A gas insert with an aluminum flex liner makes those fireplaces useful again without rebuilding the chimney. In newer homes and remodels, the requests lean toward linear fireplaces, see-through units between rooms, and fireplaces set into a media wall.

Fire features for patios, pools, and lake views.

Outdoor projects here are usually finished spaces: a paver patio, a pool deck, or a terrace facing Lake Washington. Our fire pit installation fits into what is already there. We partner with professional landscapers on the patio and planting work, so the space looks even better when the job is done than it did before. We can add gas line installation for an outdoor kitchen or patio heaters at the same time, so the yard only gets opened once.

Two permit offices, one crew.

Bellevue permits go through MyBuildingPermit, while Medina runs its own permitting portal and has its own rules for construction activity. We know both processes and file with the right one. For existing fireplaces, we offer gas fireplace repair and yearly gas fireplace maintenance, and for buyers, a gas line inspection before closing.

Questions from Bellevue & Medina homeowners.

Short answers to what people in Bellevue & Medina ask us before the first visit.

Question 1 of 4

Can my old Bellevue fireplace be converted to gas?

Almost always. We measure the firebox, inspect the chimney, and fit a gas insert with a new aluminum flex liner. If the chimney is in rough shape, a direct vent fireplace on another wall can be the better choice.

Question 2 of 4

Do you work in Medina, Clyde Hill, and Hunts Point?

Yes, including larger homes with more than one fireplace and waterfront properties with limited access for equipment.

Question 3 of 4

Can you add a fire pit to a finished paver patio?

Yes. We partner with professional landscapers who handle the patio side of the job, so the pavers go back down cleanly and the area looks even better after the work is done. We run the gas line and set the fire pit or table where you want it.

Question 4 of 4

Do you install fireplaces in Bellevue condos?

In some buildings. Venting and building rules decide what is possible, so we check with your HOA first. When a gas vent is not allowed, an electric fireplace gives you the look without the venting.
