Bringing an Old Fireplace Back, Done Properly
From a soot-stained face to a relined firebox, here is the work our specialists handle.
Removing failed patches
Hard gray cement over soft old brick, caulk in firebox joints and painted-over soot are signs of quick fixes. Some of those patches trap moisture, and hard cement can crack the softer brick around it.
Our specialists remove failed patches carefully, by hand where the brick is fragile, and redo the joint or the surface with suitable materials. Anything that comes out is shown to you and explained.
Parging the smoke chamber smooth
The smoke chamber funnels smoke from the damper into the flue. Section R1001.8 of the code calls for its inner surface to be parged smooth with refractory mortar, and an older chamber may have stepped brick or crumbling parging instead.
Our pros clean the chamber, remove loose material and parge it smooth as part of the restoration. A smooth chamber helps smoke move up cleanly and gives soot less to hold on to.
Restoring a factory-built fireplace
Code section R1004.1 requires a factory-built fireplace, a listed metal unit, to stay within its listing. Restoring one means working from the maker's manual and parts list, including refractory panels, screens, doors and the grate.
Our specialists find the rating plate, confirm the model and fit listed parts only. If the parts are no longer made, we explain your options plainly before recommending anything.
Cleaning the flue before the firebox work
Work in the firebox and smoke chamber goes better when the flue above has been cleaned. Loose soot and debris would otherwise fall onto fresh mortar, and a blocked or damaged flue could change what the fireplace below needs.
Our pros schedule the chimney sweep as an early stage of the restoration, with its own price, and use that visit to check the flue for anything that changes the plan.
