# Jeff Johnson Reno

> Fireplace finishing in Southwestern Ontario, Canada. Jeff Johnson has 25+ years of experience finishing the wall around a fireplace insert — stone, tile, mantels, hearths, surrounds, framing, and trim. He does not sell or install fireplace inserts themselves; he finishes the surrounding space after a homeowner's chosen insert has been installed.

## About Jeff Johnson Reno

Jeff Johnson runs a one-person fireplace-finishing trade business based in Southwestern Ontario, Canada. After a homeowner buys a fireplace insert from a store and has that insert installed, Jeff builds out the wall around it: stacked stone, tile, shiplap, drywall, reclaimed-wood mantels, stone or slate hearths, framing, and finish trim. He works to whatever the homeowner wants the finished space to look like — traditional, modern, rustic, or mixed. Every project is custom to the room. Same person answers the phone, quotes the job, and does the work.
