Before, during and after your fireplace installation
Factory-built unit or site-built masonry fireplace
A new wood-burning fireplace takes one of two forms. A factory-built unit arrives as a metal firebox tested with its own chimney sections, then gets framed into the wall. A masonry fireplace is laid on site, from a footing up through the firebox, smoke chamber and chimney.
Each form answers to a different rulebook. The factory-built unit follows its listing and manual, while masonry follows the Florida Building Code's fireplace section. We explain which one suits your room and structure before a single part is ordered.
Taking out a failed prefab unit
Removing a worn factory-built fireplace means disconnecting it from its chimney, freeing it from the framing and carrying it out without damaging the room. The old chimney sections usually come out too, because they belong to the old listing. Debris from the removal is cleaned up and hauled away.
We protect floors and furniture along the path before anything is lifted. Once the unit is out, the empty enclosure shows its real condition. We explain what that reveals, such as water staining or charred framing, before the replacement goes any further.
Burning the right wood in a new fireplace
A new fireplace performs best with dry, split, seasoned wood. The EPA's wood-burning guidance says a properly installed appliance should make very little smoke, and regular visible smoke points to a problem. Wet wood is a common one. Wood dries better stored off the ground with only its top covered.
We explain how to tell dry wood from wet wood and why treated lumber, painted scraps and trash stay out of the firebox. Those materials can release harmful fumes and damage the unit. Good fuel keeps the new chimney cleaner between maintenance visits.
Maintenance visits for the new fireplace
A new fireplace still needs looking after. Manuals call for periodic checks of the chimney, the termination cap, the refractory, the grate and the doors or screen, plus cleaning as deposits build up. The schedule depends on how much you burn.
We offer maintenance visits once the fireplace is in use. Each visit follows the manual's checklist and ends with a note of what was found and done. Bring up anything that has changed, such as a new smell or harder lighting, so the visit starts with it.

Your new fireplace installation, in questions
Which suits my house, a factory-built or a masonry fireplace?
It depends on the structure, the room and how you plan to use the fire. Masonry needs a footing and more time, while a factory-built unit is framed in and follows its listing. We explain both for your house after the inspection.
Why does my new fireplace need an outside air supply?
The Florida Building Code asks for exterior air to fireplaces unless the room is mechanically ventilated and kept at neutral or positive pressure. For a factory-built unit, the air parts must be listed components. We plan the intake with the chimney route.
How long does a fireplace installation take from start to finish?
It depends on the type. A factory-built installation moves through framing, the unit, the chimney, the roof and the hearth, while masonry needs more time between stages. The estimate sets out the sequence and the expected schedule.
