Metal fireplace and prefab chimney work explained
Panels go back in the sequence the manual shows
Refractory panels in a factory-built unit fit together in a set order. The manual shows which panel goes in first and how the others lock against it, held by retainers or brackets. Removing one panel can mean loosening the panels beside it.
We follow that sequence for your model. Damaged retainers, missing brackets and loose screws are replaced with the listed parts at the same time. When several panels depend on one another, we explain whether replacing only the broken one is practical or whether the set should change together.
Where the outside air hood sits outdoors
Installation manuals set rules for the outside air hood. It should not sit near exhaust vents or in enclosed spaces such as an attic or garage, and it should stay clear of anything that could block it. A hood moved during siding or landscaping work may break those rules.
We check the hood's location and condition from outside. A damaged hood, or one relocated to the wrong place, is corrected with listed parts and routing. If the fix touches exterior finishes, that part of the work is described separately on the estimate.
Inside an exterior chase around the pipe
When the chimney runs outside the house, it sits in a framed chase. The manual calls for firestops or a false ceiling at set points inside the chase and for insulation to stay off the chimney. The chase top at the roof closes it off.
We check what we can see inside the chase through available access. The chimney, its supports and its firestops are part of this service. Rotted framing, siding and the metal chase top belong to our chimney services, and we list them separately so each job stays in its own scope.
Upfront pricing on factory-built fireplace work
Upfront pricing means the price for each approved item is set before the work starts. It does not grow on the day without your agreement. No hidden fees are added once the job is done.
We explain what each price covers, including parts, labor and any access. If an item depends on something we cannot yet see, the estimate says so plainly. That way a surprise becomes a conversation before it becomes a bill. Ask about any line before you approve it.

Factory-built fireplace repair, asked and answered
Do you repair the outside air kit on a prefab unit?
Yes, as part of the listed system. The code treats the outside air supply of a factory-built fireplace as a listed component. We check the control, the ducting and the hood outdoors, then replace damaged parts with those the manual names.
Is the workmanship on a prefab repair covered?
Our workmanship warranty covers the repair work we perform. The parts carry their own warranty from the maker, under the maker's terms. We explain both before you approve, so you know which one applies if a question comes up later.
Could my wood-burning prefab unit take a gas appliance later?
Only if the fireplace listing allows it. The building code limits gas appliances in factory-built fireplaces to units tested and listed for that use. This service covers the wood-burning unit, so we note what the label says and point you to the right next step.
