Fireplace inserts and gas fire pits in Issaquah.

Sound Fire Solutions provides fireplace installation in Issaquah and fire pit installation for homes from Olde Town to the Issaquah Highlands, Talus, and the slopes of Squak and Tiger Mountain. We install gas fireplaces and inserts, build fire pits and fire tables, run the gas line, and file the permit with the City of Issaquah or King County.

Fireplaces for Highlands townhomes and older homes alike.

Issaquah housing runs from older homes near Lake Sammamish to townhomes and newer houses up in the Highlands. In older homes, fireplace insert installation turns a wood-burning fireplace into efficient gas heat. In newer ones, the job is usually swapping a builder-grade unit for a linear fireplace with a better flame and a real remote. Townhomes with shared walls are often a good fit for electric fireplace installation.

Plenty of Issaquah yards look out at Tiger or Cougar Mountain, and a fire pit is a good reason to use the patio after dark. Our fire pit installation covers everything from a compact fire table on a Highlands deck to a stone fire pit on a sloped lot, with the burner sized to your gas supply. If your community has design review, we provide the drawings and specs up front.

Permits, gas lines, and service calls.

Issaquah permits go through MyBuildingPermit, the online portal several Eastside cities share with King County, and we handle the filing and inspections. Beyond fireplaces and fire pits, we do gas line installation for ranges, dryers, and outdoor kitchens, gas line inspection when you are buying a home, and gas fireplace repair when the pilot will not stay lit.

Questions from Issaquah homeowners.

Short answers to what people in Issaquah ask us before the first visit.

Question 1 of 4

Can I add a gas fireplace to an Issaquah Highlands townhome?

Often, yes. The venting route is the main question in attached homes, so we look at the outside walls and any HOA rules first. Where a vent will not work, an electric fireplace is a clean alternative.

Question 2 of 4

Does a gas fire pit in Issaquah need a permit?

A fire pit with a new or extended gas line needs a permit and an inspection. We file it and schedule the inspection so the trench can be closed.

Question 3 of 4

My older fireplace smokes into the room. Will an insert fix that?

A gas insert has a sealed firebox and vents all exhaust outside through a new liner, so the smoke and drafts go away. We inspect the chimney first to make sure it can take a liner.

Question 4 of 4

Do you work on homes with steep driveways near Lake Sammamish?

Yes. We install fireplaces and fire pits around the lake and on the hillsides above it, including homes with tight access where materials go in by hand.
