Chimneys, fireplaces and gas units serviced in Plantation

Kneel beside the fireplace and look at the floor in front of the opening before you call us. Note any cracked tiles, loose stones, a gap where the hearth meets the floor or scorch marks on the flooring beyond it. That short check helps our team plan a hearth visit in Plantation. The hearth extension is the fire-resistant floor that projects out from the firebox.

The Florida Building Code requires it to be noncombustible and to reach beyond the opening on each side. A stray ember then lands on something that cannot burn. When tiles crack or the bed beneath them breaks up, heat and embers can reach the wood subfloor. A cosmetic regrout can hide that gap without closing it.

Being a family company with local owners, we separate hearth repair from any finish work you may be planning. During the free inspection, the extension, its joint with the firebox and the floor structure we can see all get a close look. Tell us whether the hearth sits on a slab or on a framed floor, if you know, because the repair method differs.

If the goal is a new look as well as a sound hearth, we explain which parts are repair and which are a change of material. Should you give the go-ahead before 72 hours pass from your free inspection, the hearth repair or any other service is 10% off. Every line of the estimate, which is written and free, says what it covers and what it costs upfront.

Keep the fireplace unlit while a hearth crack is waiting for repair. During the work, we protect the surrounding floor, cut and mix outside where we can, and clear away the old tile and mortar. A written record of the materials goes to you, and the hearth repair carries our workmanship warranty. Beyond hearths, we sweep flues and repair chimneys and fireplaces of each fuel type.
