Before, during and after your fireplace installation
Keep the chimney inside the conditioned house
Manuals for factory-built fireplaces recommend a chimney that rises inside the conditioned part of the house. A chimney surrounded by indoor air tends to draw better as the fire starts and as it dies down. An exterior route is possible, but it needs a properly built chase.
We compare an interior path with an exterior chase for your room. The interior path may take more framing work inside, while the chase adds exterior construction and finishing. Both appear on the estimate with their trade-offs explained, so the choice is yours to make.
Adding a fireplace to a finished room
In a finished room, the fireplace path runs through existing drywall, ceilings, attic insulation and roof covering. Each opening has to be cut, framed, protected and later patched or finished. The work is manageable when it is planned in the right order.
We explain which surfaces will be opened and who restores each one. Patching drywall around a new chase may be ours, while painting the room may be yours or a painter's. The estimate lists those boundaries so the finished room has no loose ends.
A family-owned team on your fireplace installation
Miami Chimney Repair is a family-owned and locally owned company. On a fireplace installation, the people who plan the job explain it to you directly. You deal with one team from the inspection to the handover.
We keep the approach plain. The estimate states what we will do, and the approved price is what you pay. If something unexpected appears behind a wall, we stop, show you and agree the next step before continuing. Nothing is added to the bill without that conversation.
Chimney metal where sea air reaches the roof
Where salt-laden air reaches the roof, galvanized steel loses its protective zinc faster. The American Galvanizers Association explains that chlorides in marine air form soluble compounds that wash away and expose fresh zinc. Termination caps, chase tops and storm collars sit right in that exposure.
We ask the chimney maker which termination and chase top materials it lists for this setting and explain the options. Different metals touching each other can also corrode faster in a corrosive setting, so fasteners come from the listed system. The choice is written into your estimate.

New fireplace questions, answered plainly
What happens to the roof opening at the end of each day?
Any open roof penetration is covered at the end of every work day until the chimney is sealed. Debris is gathered daily and taken away with us once the job is complete. Tell us about anything else on the roof we should protect.
Can chimney parts from another brand be used to save money?
No. A factory-built fireplace is tested with specific chimney parts, and substituting another brand breaks its listing and can void the warranty. We use only the parts the fireplace manual names, from the firebox to the termination cap.
Can a masonry fireplace be built on an upper floor?
It is rarely practical, because the code requires a concrete or solid masonry footing beneath the fireplace and chimney. A factory-built unit is framed into the floor structure instead. We explain the options that suit your house.
