Hearth repair that starts with the cause
Nothing combustible may remain under the hearth
The code says combustible material must not remain against the underside of a hearth or hearth extension once it is built. Brick industry guidance adds that wooden forms used to cast or support the extension must be removed when construction is complete.
Occasionally a hearth was built over wood that was never taken out. From above it looks normal, but the wood can dry, char or rot over time. If sagging, cracks along a straight line or other clues suggest it, we explain what opening a small section would show and price that as a separate step.
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.
Questions worth asking about a hearth repair
Ask whether the fault is in the finish or the support, and how that was judged. Ask what material will be used and how it matches. Ask whether the hearth is large enough for the fireplace in front of it.
Ask also how long before fires can resume and what the warranty covers. The answers show whether the repair is planned around the hearth's job or only its looks. Put any of these to us on the visit, and expect a straight reply. By the time you approve, nothing about the hearth repair should feel vague.
What the free inspection covers for a hearth
The free inspection looks at the hearth's size against the opening, its surface, joints, edges and the junction with the firebox. We tap for hollow areas and check for dips and gaps. We also look at the edge where the hearth meets the floor and at anything laid over the extension.
For factory-built units we also check the manual's hearth requirements. We explain the findings before we leave, including what could not be seen. There is no charge and no obligation to book the repair. The free written estimate follows, with each item priced on its own line.

Hearth questions from homes in Country Club
Is the floor inside the firebox part of hearth repair?
No. The floor where the fire burns is the inner hearth, repaired with firebrick and refractory mortar as firebox work. The hearth extension in front of the opening is repaired with finish materials on its base. We list each on its own line.
What does the workmanship warranty cover on hearth work?
It covers the hearth repair we carried out, meaning the surface we laid or reset and the base work we did. Parts of the hearth or floor we did not touch fall outside it, and we explain the terms when the job is finished.
Are hairline cracks in a concrete hearth a concern?
Fine shrinkage cracks are common in concrete and are often stable. Cracks that widen, step or come with a loose or dropped edge are different, and they point to the base or support. We check which kind you have before suggesting any work.
