How we repair a worn firebox
A grate that grinds into the floor bricks
A grate with worn or missing feet sits unevenly and digs into the floor units. Its weight, plus the logs on it, concentrates on a few points. Cracked and loose floor bricks under the grate are a common result.
Tell us if the grate rocks or sits lower on one side. Replacing the floor units without dealing with the grate sends you back to the same damage. We note the grate's condition on the estimate, and suggest a suitable grate if the current one is past use.
Workmanship warranty on the firebox repair
Our workmanship warranty covers the firebox repair we carry out. It applies to the units we set and the joints we filled, used as the fireplace is meant to be used and cured as the product directions require.
Damage from overfiring, water from an unrepaired leak or parts of the firebox outside the repaired area fall outside it. We explain those limits when the job is finished, and the written record of the work shows what the warranty covers. Keep the record with your fireplace papers, so the covered work is easy to identify.
The top courses just below the damper
The highest courses of the firebox sit just under the throat and the damper. They take rising heat, any water that runs past the damper, and the weight of what sits above. Loose units here can affect how the damper seats.
We check those courses closely, often with the damper open and a light. Repairs at the top of the firebox are planned with the damper in mind, so its frame stays supported and its plate still closes. Any damper repair that follows appears as a separate item.
The inspection discount for firebox repair in Tamiami
After your free inspection in Tamiami, firebox repairs you book within 72 hours carry a 10% discount. The window starts from your own inspection date. The discount covers the firebox lines you approve in that time.
Use the time to read the estimate and compare a local repair with a rebuild if both are offered. If you decide later, the written price still applies without the discount. Either way, nothing starts until you approve the scope. Ask us to mark the lines the discount applies to if you plan to approve only part of the work.

Common firebox questions from homeowners
Do dark stains mean the firebrick is damaged?
No. Soot and smoke staining are normal in a working firebox. What matters is material loss, open joints and loose units. We look past the color to the condition of each brick and joint.
Can I keep using the fireplace with a loose firebrick?
It is better not to. A loose or missing unit leaves the masonry behind the lining exposed to heat it was not built for. We tell you on the visit whether the fireplace should stay out of use until the repair.
Why do the joints in my firebox keep crumbling?
Common causes are the wrong mortar, joints not filled through their depth, water reaching the firebox, or very hot fires behind closed glass screens. We look for which applies before recommending a repair.
