The parts of a fireplace restoration
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.
The written record of the restoration
You receive a written record of the work when the restoration is finished. It lists the repairs, the replacements and the features that were retained, along with the materials used.
It also notes anything we saw but left outside the scope, such as chimney items. Keep the record with any fireplace manuals. It helps with later maintenance visits, and it answers questions from anyone who works on the fireplace after us. It is written in plain terms, without claims beyond the work, so anyone reading it later understands what was done and why it was done.
Children and pets during restoration
Restoration brings tools, dust, mortar and loose materials into the room. Keep children and pets away from the fireplace while the work is going on.
At the end of each day we tidy the area and leave the opening covered. Fresh mortar and cleaning materials are stored out of reach. If the work runs over several days, we tell you at the end of each work day what state the fireplace is in. We also say whether anything should be avoided before we return. Materials that need to stay undisturbed while they cure are marked so everyone in the house knows to leave them alone.
Prices set out per item
A restoration estimate can include many items, and each one is priced on its own. That lets you see what each part of the work costs and choose what to include.
Our pricing is upfront, with no hidden fees. If you approve some items and defer others, the approved ones are priced as shown. If hidden damage appears, we explain the change and wait for your approval before continuing. The final bill matches what you agreed. Every item also carries a short reason, so the price and the purpose sit side by side.

Brick fireplace restoration questions
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.
Is the restoration covered by a warranty?
Our workmanship warranty covers the work we carried out. If a repair we made does not hold, tell us and we come back to look. We explain what the warranty covers for your job before you approve.
Will restoring the fireplace fix a smoky fire?
It may, when the cause sits inside the fireplace. A damper stuck partway and a rough smoke chamber are common examples. We check those first and explain any cause outside the fireplace separately.
