Season of the fireplace for CT stonemasonry

Seems like the cold has everyone thinking about their fireplaces. I'll be starting a new front in a few days, and am also working with my brother on replacing his wood burning stove with a traditional fireplace. On that, the plan is to take Stony Creek granite all the way to the ceiling, replacing what can only be called an ugly front right now. I think the previous owner painted concrete some color of gray. Stony creek granite, unique to Stony Creek, CT, has a pink color and texture. One of my inspirations for becoming a stonemason was the book Flesh and Stone about Stony Creek granite.
