Our Full-Service Fireplace Painting Process

A durable fireplace finish starts well before we open the first paint can.

  • Schedule an estimate. Tell us what you want to change about your fireplace, whether that means brightening dark brick, updating a mantel, or creating a finish that works better with the rest of the room. We will answer your initial questions and arrange an on-site visit.
  • Assess the fireplace. Our team will examine it all from the unique material that makes your fireplace to its current surface condition all the way down to understanding its anticipated heat exposure. This assessment helps us recommend a safe approach that suits your specific fireplace.
  • Review your options. We will explain which areas we can work on safely and which products make sense for the surface. You will receive a clear estimate along with an expected schedule.
  • Protect the surrounding room. Before work starts, our painters cover nearby flooring and furnishings. We also mask the firebox, walls, and other surfaces that are not part of the project, keeping the work contained and your home protected.
  • Clean and prepare the surface. Soot, dust, grease, loose mortar, and old flaking coatings can prevent a new finish from bonding properly. We clean the fireplace, complete the agreed-upon repairs, and prepare each paintable surface according to its condition.
  • Prime where needed. Porous masonry and stained surfaces often need the right primer to create an even base and help prevent discoloration from showing through. We select products based on the fireplace material and where the coating will be applied.
  • Apply the new finish. Our painters use controlled techniques to cover textured brick, detailed trim, grout lines, and other challenging areas without leaving a heavy or uneven appearance.
  • Complete the final walkthrough. Once the finish has dried, we remove our protective materials, clean the work area, and inspect the details with you. We want you to feel confident in both the updated fireplace and your experience with our team.

Why Hire a St. Louis Painting Contractor?

Painting a fireplace may look straightforward, but the surface can introduce questions that an ordinary wall does not. Homeowners often wonder whether the paint will adhere to old masonry, whether soot stains will return, or whether the new color will overwhelm the room. They also want a painter who will protect the surrounding space and give them an honest answer if part of the fireplace should not be painted.

We understand those concerns. When you hire Kennedy Painting, you get:

  • Trained employees in your home, never subcontractors. Every project stays with our in-house team. We invest in our employees through ongoing instruction in painting techniques, customer service, and professional standards. Several of our managers have spent more than a decade with Kennedy Painting, helping us deliver a consistent experience from one project to the next.
  • Tailored prep work. Our in-house fireplace painters understand how different coatings interact with masonry and heat. We inspect the surface and address details that affect coating adhesion.
  • A finish designed to look right in the room. Your fireplace naturally draws attention. We help you choose a color and finish that work with the room instead of treating the fireplace as an isolated surface. Then, our painters take the time to achieve clean lines and even coverage across every paintable detail.
  • Clear, fair pricing. You deserve to understand what you are paying for. We provide a detailed scope that breaks down our recommendations.
  • Local experience since 1998. Kennedy Painting has worked in St. Louis homes for decades, including older properties with aging brickwork, original mantels, plaster walls, and previous coatings. That experience helps us recognize potential issues early and recommend a practical path forward.
  • Service recognized throughout St. Louis. Local organizations and customers have acknowledged our commitment to dependable workmanship. Kennedy Painting has earned recognition from St. Louis Magazine’s A-List, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch Headliner Awards, and Nextdoor. We also hold an A+ BBB rating and have received the Angi Super Service Award for more than 10 years. Plus, 98% of surveyed customers would recommend us to their family and friends.

They were professional, courteous, and incredibly easy to work with from start to finish. The painters arrived on time each day, were respectful of my home, and made sure everything was cleaned up before they left.
Antonette Baum
From the estimate, to the scheduling, to accommodating some off-the-books color requests of ours, to even (slightly) changing our paint plan the day they started the job, Kennedy Painting was a joy to work with.
Alex Deaton
From the first phone call to schedule an estimate to the last coat of paint and every interaction in between, our experience with Kennedy Painting at each step of the project was outstanding.
