Fireplace restoration in Westwood Lakes, planned as one job
Resetting hearth tiles that have lifted
Tile hearths lose grip over time, especially where they take the most traffic and heat. A loose tile can crack further or let embers reach the bed beneath it.
We lift loose tiles, clean the bed and reset them in a material suited to the heat. Broken tiles are replaced with the closest available match. If the original tile is no longer made, we show you the options before choosing. The hearth tile work is its own line on the estimate.
Resetting a stone face
A stone face can lose stones as its joints fail. Loose stones can shift, crack or fall, and the gaps they leave let the backing weaken.
We reset loose stones in a mortar suited to the stone and repoint open joints to match the existing ones. Broken stones are replaced with the closest available match. Where a manufactured stone face is involved, its maker's instructions guide the repair. The stone work is described on the estimate separately from any brick or tile.
Fine lines in firebrick
Firebrick expands and contracts with every fire, and fine surface lines are common in a firebox that has been used. Not every line is a reason for replacement.
We check whether a line is shallow or runs through the brick, and whether the brick is still firmly held. Shallow lines in sound units can usually stay. Cracks that go through, loose units and missing pieces are the ones we replace. We explain the difference in the firebox itself, so you can see what we mean.
Maintenance visits after a restoration
A restored fireplace stays in good order with regular attention. Maintenance visits let us check the firebox joints, the damper and the face before small issues grow.
We note what we see on each visit in the written record of the work. If a joint has opened or the damper feels stiff, it can be addressed early. Ask about maintenance visits when the restoration is done, and we suggest what makes sense for how often you use the fireplace. Keep the record of each visit with the restoration record.

Before you approve restoration work
What if parts for my factory-built unit are discontinued?
We check for manufacturer-approved alternatives. If none exist, we explain what that means for the fireplace. Unlisted parts are not fitted, because the listing depends on the tested components working together.
Will you keep the original look of my fireplace?
That is the aim. We keep sound features, match replacement brick, tile and mortar as closely as available materials allow, and tell you where an exact match is not possible before the work starts.
Can you restore a stone fireplace face?
Yes. Loose stones are reset and open joints are repointed with a mortar suited to the stone. If a stone is broken, we look for a match and explain the options before replacing it.
