Moving of the Mantel

The house was originally constructed with five marble fireplace mantels. Unfortunately the parlor level fireplace was closed off and the mantel removed by a previous owner.
We plan on using the rear 2nd floor bedroom as a walk in closet, and decided to move the mantel (from the bedroom) down to the parlor floor where a fireplace once existed.
Since it was a detailed job we hired a professional, Manny Lassalle. Manny and his crew did an amazing job relocating the mantel and opening up the wall to exposed the firebox. Everything went well and we are extremely happy with the results.
