Restoring function first, then the look
Working around the mantel you already have
Most restorations leave the existing mantel exactly where it is. The work around it is planned so the mantel is protected during cleaning and repointing.
We cover the mantel and its finish before any cleaning starts. If the mantel is loose or sits closer to the opening than the code allows, we tell you. Changing or replacing it is outside our services. Our job is to restore the fireplace beneath it and keep the mantel as it was. Any concern about it is written on the estimate, so you can decide how to handle it.
Rusted metal in a factory-built firebox
The metal parts of a factory-built firebox can rust after years of damp or disuse. Surface rust may be harmless. Rust that has thinned or holed the metal is not.
We check the metal surfaces, the joints and any areas that carry heat. Where the damage is in a replaceable listed part, we order that part. Where it is in the body of the unit, we explain what that means for continued use. The manufacturer's instructions guide what can be repaired and what cannot.
A cast iron fireback
Some fireplaces have a cast iron plate against the back wall of the firebox. It reflects heat into the room and protects the masonry behind it.
A fireback can crack, rust or come loose over time. We check its condition and how it is held in place. A sound fireback is cleaned and reset. A cracked one may still be usable if it stays firmly in place, and we explain the options. The fireback is noted separately from the firebrick behind it.
Same-day restoration visits when available
Same-day inspection visits are available when the schedule allows. If you are planning to use an old fireplace soon, an early look helps you know where you stand.
A full restoration is rarely finished in one visit. Materials have to be matched and mortar has to cure. What a quick visit can do is give you the findings, the plan and a written estimate quickly, so the work can be scheduled without delay. Any urgent safety concern we find on that visit is explained before we leave.
What the restoration estimate covers
- Damper freed, repaired or replaced
- Face joints repointed with matched mortar
- Room and floor protection
- Workmanship warranty on the completed work
Your restoration questions, in plain terms
What does a fireplace restoration include?
It returns a neglected fireplace to safe use and to the look it was built with, under one plan. Typical items are firebrick and firebox repairs, damper work, smoke chamber parging, face cleaning and repointing, and hearth repairs, each priced separately.
When can I light a fire after the restoration?
Once the new mortar has dried and cured as its maker directs. Some heat-resistant mortars call for small fires before full use. We tell you how long to wait and how to build those early fires.
Is there a discount on fireplace restoration work?
Yes. Restoration items booked inside 72 hours of your free inspection come with a 10% discount. The inspection and the written estimate stay free whether or not you go ahead.
