What We Restore and Why
Restoration booked within 72 hours of the free inspection is 10% off. Here is how our specialists approach the work.
White deposits on the fireplace face
Efflorescence is a white, crystalline deposit of water-soluble salts drawn to the surface as masonry dries. Brick Industry Association guidance (Technical Note 23A) explains that it needs three things together, soluble salts, a source of water and a path to the surface.
The deposit itself is usually harmless and brushes off, but it tells you water is moving through the masonry. Our specialists find that water first, then clean the face, so the bloom does not simply return.
Taking old paint off fireplace brick
Removing paint from brick is slow, careful work, and it does not always bring back a perfect face, since paint often covers stains or repairs. A test patch shows what lies underneath before the whole face is stripped.
In homes built before 1978, the EPA's Renovation, Repair and Painting rule requires lead-safe work practices for paid work that disturbs paint. Our pros raise that question at the inspection, and the estimate spells out how that step is handled.
Curing new mortar before a full fire
Refractory mortar and other fireplace materials set on their own schedule, often with a few small warm-up fires before a full one. The product maker's instructions decide it, and they vary.
Our pros leave the curing steps in writing for the materials used in your fireplace. Following them protects the restoration you have just paid for, and a full fire too soon can crack joints that looked finished the day before.
Nests and debris in a neglected fireplace
Fireplaces left unused for years often collect nests, leaves and fallen debris on the smoke shelf, sometimes enough to block the damper. None of it should be burned out with a fire.
Our pros clear what they can reach and arrange chimney animal removal first when something is still living there. A cap is usually recommended afterward to keep the problem from returning.
On any service we offer
Cleaning or repointing is 10% off when booked within 72 hours of the visit.
