Framing, Chimney and Hearth, Installed Together
Our specialists use the listed chimney system for your fireplace, backed by our 100% satisfaction guarantee.
The hearth extension for a factory-built unit
The floor in front of a wood fireplace needs protection from sparks and rolling embers. For factory-built units, section R1004.2 of the Florida residential code has the hearth extension installed as the fireplace listing directs, and it must be easy to tell apart from the floor around it. A listed hearth extension must comply with UL 1618.
The fireplace manual gives the size and the material for that extension. Our pros build it to those numbers and help you pick a finish that suits your floor in Bayshore Beautiful while still reading clearly as the hearth.
Replacing a worn-out factory-built fireplace
Factory-built fireplaces wear out, and a cracked firebox or rusted panels often mean replacement. The new unit carries its own listing, and its manual names the chimney systems it can use. The old pipe stays only when it is on that list, suits the new unit and is in sound condition.
Our team identifies the existing unit and chimney, checks the new manual and tells you plainly whether the chimney run can be reused or has to be replaced too. Removal of the old unit, disposal and any patching of the surround are priced as separate lines.
What to burn in a new wood fireplace
A wood-burning fireplace is designed for dry, seasoned firewood. DuraVent's chimney instructions warn against burning driftwood, plastic or chemically treated wood such as railroad ties, because they are corrosive to the appliance and the chimney. NFPA guidance adds that the fuel should be the kind the manufacturer specifies.
Our team goes over the fuel rules in your fireplace manual on the day we finish, along with any break-in fires the manual asks for. Starting with the right habits keeps a new fireplace working the way it should in your Bayshore Beautiful home.
Choosing the unit with the installation in mind
Showroom photos rarely show the framing, chimney route and clearances a fireplace needs. Before you buy, compare the installation manuals as well as the looks. DuraTech's instructions note that the appliance maker's instructions set the chimney diameter, and that a chimney should never have a smaller inside diameter than the appliance outlet.
Our pros review the models you are considering against your room and roof in Bayshore Beautiful and tell you which ones fit without major framing changes. That review is part of the free inspection.
