        "text": "The timeline for designing and installing a custom mantel varies based on complexity and material availability. Typically, the design phase, including consultations and drafting, can take 1-3 weeks. Once the design is approved, fabrication of the mantel can range from 4-8 weeks, especially for intricate designs or specialized materials. Installation usually takes 1-3 days, depending on the mantel's size and the existing fireplace structure. We work to provide a detailed project schedule upfront, allowing you to anticipate the different stages of the process and coordinate with any other home improvement plans.",
