How Our Pros Install Fireplaces in Dover
A new fireplace in Dover starts with a free inspection and a written price for the whole job.
Offsets and elbows in the chimney run
A straight chimney is simplest, but beams, rooms upstairs or the roof line sometimes force a jog. Section R1005.7 of the Florida residential code keeps a factory-built chimney offset within 30 degrees of vertical and allows the assembly four elbows at most. DuraTech's instructions describe the same limit as two offsets.
Each offset also needs its own supports and straps from the listed system. Our pros plan the route so it stays inside those limits and explain any jog on the drawing for your Dover home before the first opening is cut.
Keeping framing away from masonry
Masonry carries heat into whatever touches it. Florida's residential code, section R1001.11, keeps wood beams, joists, studs and other combustible material a minimum of 2 inches away from a masonry fireplace's front faces and sides, and 4 inches away from its back. Section R1001.12 adds fireblocking as described in section R302.11.
On new construction that is simple to plan. In an existing house, the wall framing around the new fireplace may need changes. Our pros show you where the framing sits relative to the masonry before construction starts in Dover.
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 Dover and tell you which ones fit without major framing changes. That review is part of the free inspection.
What you keep after installation
When the fireplace is finished, you should have more than a working fire. Our pros hand over the installation and operating manual, point out the listing label on the unit and go through the fuel and care rules with you.
Keep those papers with your house records. They tell anyone who works on the fireplace later exactly which system is installed, which matters for replacement parts and repairs in the years ahead. Our work in Dover is backed by a workmanship warranty and our 100% satisfaction guarantee.
