Framing, Chimney and Hearth, Installed Together
Every fireplace we put in is priced up front and covered by our 100% satisfaction guarantee.
The chimney comes from the same listed system
Florida's residential code, section R1005.1, requires factory-built chimneys to be listed, labeled, and installed and terminated per the manufacturer's instructions. Chimney makers are just as firm. DuraVent's DuraTech instructions tell installers to use only authorized parts and not to mix them with other products or improvised pieces.
A pipe that fits physically is not automatically approved. The fireplace manual names the chimney systems it was tested with, and our team installs one of those, from the fireplace connection to the cap. The parts are listed in your estimate for the project in Citrus Park.
A masonry fireplace starts below the floor
A site-built masonry fireplace is heavy, and it needs a foundation of its own. Section R1001.2 of the Florida residential code calls for a footing at least 12 inches thick, made of concrete or solid masonry, that reaches at least 6 inches past the face of the fireplace or foundation wall on every side.
On an existing house, that often means opening the floor or the ground outside the wall. Our pros look at the footing first when you ask about a masonry fireplace in Citrus Park, because it shapes the schedule, the disruption and the price long before the firebox takes shape.
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 Citrus Park home.
The order of work on an installation
Installations run in stages. Framing and any structural work come first. Then the fireplace is set and connected, the chimney is run through the ceilings and the roof, and the roof opening is closed with the parts listed for the system.
Inspections may fall between those stages, before walls and ceilings are closed. The hearth, surround and mantel come last. Our pros give you the sequence and a realistic number of visits for your project in Citrus Park, so you know when rooms will be open and when the work is done.
On any service we offer
In Citrus Park, a new fireplace booked within 72 hours of the visit is 10% off.
