Chimney and fireplace repair help for homes in Miami Springs

Planning a new fireplace starts with a free visit from our family team, and we install wood, gas and electric fireplaces in Miami Springs. As a locally owned company that also sweeps, repairs and relines chimneys, we look at where the fireplace will go and how it will vent before recommending a product. Each fuel brings its own rules.

A masonry fireplace is built on site to the Florida Building Code's fireplace and chimney sections, from the footing and the firebox to the flue and the crown. A factory-built fireplace is a listed system, installed according to its listing and the maker's instructions, including its own chimney and cap. A gas fireplace also follows the code's fuel gas rules and its manual for venting and connections.

An electric unit follows its manual for mounting and power. Where a new circuit is needed, that is work for an electrician, and a gas supply is work for a gas contractor. Adding or changing an appliance is one of the moments the fire protection standard for chimneys singles out for a closer look. If you are putting a new fireplace into an existing chimney, the flue is checked before anything is bought.

Tell us the room, the wall you have in mind and whether there is an existing chimney or vent. Mention the fuel you prefer and any model you have seen. If the fireplace will sit on a framed floor or near a window, say so, because hearth protection and clearances depend on the product. If the installation gets your yes while the inspection is still fresh, inside 72 hours, a 10% discount is taken off the fireplace work.

The written estimate is free and upfront, with the fireplace, the vent and any other trade's part listed separately. We clean up and haul away packaging. Along with the manual, you get a written record of the work. The installation itself carries our workmanship warranty.
