Inside a fireplace repair visit
Protecting the room and cleaning up afterwards
Fireplace work happens in a living space. Before we start, we cover the floor and nearby furniture and set up so dust stays near the opening. Tell us about rugs, finishes or objects near the fireplace that need extra care.
When the job is done, debris is cleaned up and hauled away rather than left in a bag by the door. If a repair opens the chimney, that opening is covered at the close of each work day. We walk you through the finished repair before we pack up.
A cracked or sagging face over the opening
Masonry above a fireplace opening rests on a noncombustible lintel, often a steel angle. Heat, rust or overloading can make it sag or push the masonry above it out of line. Cracks stepping up from the corners of the opening are a common sign.
We look at the lintel's ends and at the masonry it carries. A small crack may be monitored or repaired in place. A lintel that has rusted or bent is a larger structural item, and the estimate says so plainly, including what must be supported while it is dealt with.
Unvented log heaters in factory-built fireplaces
Unvented gas log heaters are barred from factory-built fireplaces by the code, except where the fireplace's own listing covers that use. It is a detail that gets missed when logs are bought separately from the fireplace, sometimes long after it was installed.
If you have gas logs in a factory-built unit and nobody has checked the listing, ask us to look. We read the fireplace label and manual and tell you what they allow. Any change to the log set goes through our gas services and follows the log manual.
When the fireplace type is uncertain
Occasionally the type cannot be confirmed from the room. A factory-built unit may hide behind a masonry-look face, or a masonry fireplace may have had a metal liner added later. We say when that uncertainty exists.
The estimate then lists the steps to resolve it, such as removing a trim piece or checking from the chimney top. We do not choose parts or materials until the type is known. That prevents a repair designed for one system from being applied to another.

Fireplace Repair answers for homes in Bay Harbor Islands
What does the workmanship warranty cover on a fireplace repair?
It covers the repair we carried out. It does not extend to parts we did not work on, or to damage from later use against the manual. A factory-built unit may also carry the maker's own warranty with separate terms.
Is fireplace service the same as having the chimney swept?
No. Fireplace service looks at the parts in the room: firebox, damper, hearth, grate and screen. Sweeping cleans the flue and smoke chamber above. They can be booked together, and each shows as its own item.
Is the written estimate really free?
Yes. The inspection and the written estimate cost nothing and carry no obligation. You receive the findings, the proposed repairs and their prices, and you decide what, if anything, to book.
