        "text": "The timeline for designing and installing a custom fireplace mantel varies based on material selection, design complexity, and our current project schedule. Typically, the design phase can take 1-2 weeks, involving initial consultations, measurements, and approval of drawings. Fabrication can then range from 3-6 weeks, especially for custom millwork or specialized stone cutting. Installation usually takes 1-2 days. To ensure a smooth process, gathering inspirational images and having a clear idea of your aesthetic preferences before our initial consultation can significantly speed up the design phase.",
