Hearth work planned around the fireplace it serves
Rugs laid across or against the hearth
A rug in front of the fireplace can look like part of the hearth, but it is not. The hearth extension is the built, noncombustible floor. Anything laid over it or tight against its edge sits in the area where sparks and embers land.
USFA fire safety advice is to keep anything that can burn away from heating equipment, and a fireplace counts. We mention rugs during a hearth visit because they sometimes hide cracks or loose edges. Move them before our visit so we can see the full surface, and think about where they go once the repair is done.
You approve the hearth scope before work begins
No tile, stone or brick is taken up until you have seen and agreed to the written scope. The inspection, the explanation and the estimate come first, in that order. You receive the scope in writing, with each part of the hearth priced as its own line.
If the scope depends on what we find beneath the surface, the estimate says so and explains how any change would be priced. You approve that change before it goes ahead. The hearth repair covers what you agreed and nothing more without your say.
Choosing the finish for a repaired hearth
Brick industry guidance describes hearth extensions of brick, slate or other noncombustible material, and the code's thinner-hearth allowance names brick, concrete, stone and tile. Within those, the choice of look is yours.
We discuss practical differences: how each wears, how it cleans, how easy it is to match later. For a factory-built fireplace, the manual may add requirements for the layers beneath. The estimate names the finish you choose and the base it sits on. We also mention how each finish meets the floor, since the edge is where most wear happens.
When a hearth needs no repair at all
Not every mark on a hearth is a fault. A fine, stable crack in a slab, a worn sheen on stone or grout darkened near the opening may need nothing more than cleaning or watching.
When that is what we find, we say so plainly and do not write up work to fill the visit. The findings still go in writing, with the details worth watching, so a later change can be compared against the condition we recorded. If the hearth needs nothing, the free inspection has still told you something useful.

Common questions about hearth extensions
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.
Will you tell me if my hearth only needs cleaning?
Yes. If the marks are soot or heat staining and the surface is sound, we say so and do not write up a repair. Cleaning can be listed as its own item, using the gentlest method that works, tried on a small area first.
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.
