The steps of a hearth repair
Firebox floor damage belongs to firebox repair
Loose or cracked units on the floor inside the fireplace opening are part of the firebox, not the hearth extension. They take direct flame and are repaired with firebrick and refractory mortar.
If our hearth inspection finds damage inside the opening, we name it and route it to firebox repair, with its own line on the estimate. That keeps materials straight: refractory materials inside, finish materials outside, and no confusion about which part the price covers. You can approve the two together or one at a time.
New flooring and the hearth's height
A new floor that is thicker than the old one changes the height relationship between the room and the hearth. A flush hearth can end up sitting below the floor, and a raised one can look lower than intended.
For a masonry fireplace with a raised firebox, the height of the opening above the hearth also matters to the code's thinner-hearth allowance. We check the fireplace as it will stand after the new floor, not only as it stands today, and explain any change needed.
Breaking out an old hearth
Removing an old hearth makes noise and dust. Brick, stone and tile are broken out in pieces and carried away, and the base beneath may need cutting.
We plan the removal to protect the fireplace face, the firebox floor and the surrounding floor. Dust is contained near the work and debris is cleaned up and hauled away. Should removal expose a route into the chimney, we cover it before leaving at the end of each work day. We tell you in advance which days will be noisy, so you can plan around them.
Sealers on stone, slate and tile hearths
Some stone, slate and grout surfaces are sealed to resist stains. A sealer is a product with its own directions, and not every one suits a surface that sits close to heat. A sealer that browns or peels near the opening is a sign it did not.
If a sealer is part of your hearth repair, we name the product and follow its label on where it may go. Where an old sealer has discolored, we explain how it can be removed with the gentlest method that works, tested on a small area first. Sealing is listed as an optional line you can accept or leave.

Hearth questions from homes in Beverly Heights
How does the inspection discount work for hearth repairs?
Save 10% on the hearth lines you approve, provided you book them within 72 hours of your free inspection. The hours run from your own inspection visit rather than from your call. If you decide later, the estimate keeps its written price.
What does the written record say after a hearth repair?
It notes what was replaced on the surface, the work carried out beneath it, the materials used and their source, and any setting time still running. It also lists what we saw but did not touch.
Why does the estimate list the hearth support separately?
Because the support must be sound before any new surface goes on, and it may need work the surface does not show. Listing it separately lets you see the cost of each layer and the order the work must follow.
