Restoring function first, then the look
Cutting out and matching broken face brick
A few face bricks may be cracked, spalled or broken beyond repair. Replacing them keeps the face sound and helps stop the damage from spreading.
We cut out the damaged units carefully and set replacements that match in size, color and texture as closely as available brick allows. The new units are set into the existing pattern and pointed to match. If an exact match is not available, we show you the options before any brick is removed. Each replaced unit is listed on the estimate, so you know exactly which bricks are new.
When one repair is enough
Not every tired fireplace needs a full restoration. Sometimes a single item, such as a seized damper or a few loose firebricks, is the whole problem.
If that is what we find, we say so. We quote the single repair on its own rather than proposing a larger scope. You can still ask for finish work if you want it, but it will be listed as optional. A restoration is worth doing when several parts need work together, and we are straightforward about when that is not the case.
Firebox patches in the wrong material
Some firebox patches were made with ordinary mortar, cement or even caulk. Those materials are not made for direct fire and can break down, crumble or fall out.
We identify patches in the wrong material and remove them where they are failing or damaging the firebrick. The joints are then refilled with a heat-rated fireplace mortar. If a patch in the wrong material is still holding and not causing harm, we explain whether it can wait. The decision is written into the estimate.
A discount for a restoration of any size
A 10% discount applies to restoration work you approve within 72 hours of your free inspection. Firebox repairs, damper work, face cleaning and repointing all count toward it.
If you plan the restoration in stages, the discount covers what you book in that window. Stages you book after the window are priced without it. The inspection and the written estimate are free either way, and every price is set out before any work begins. Ask us at the inspection how the window would apply to your plan, and we explain it plainly.

Before you approve restoration work
What happens if you find hidden damage partway through?
We stop and explain it. The finding, the proposed repair and the price are set out before we continue. Nothing is added to the job without your approval, and the estimate is updated in writing.
What records do I get after a restoration?
A written record of the work, listing what was repaired, replaced and retained, the materials used and anything left outside the scope. Keep it with any fireplace manuals for later maintenance visits.
What should I mention when I call about restoration?
Tell us how long the fireplace has been idle, how you want to use it and what you want to keep. Mention past repairs if you know of any, and whether the fireplace is masonry or factory-built.
