Fireplace Restoration Work for Lutz Homes
Our workmanship warranty stands behind every fireplace we restore in Lutz.
Mortar that suits the old brick
New mortar in an old wall should give way before the brick does. The National Park Service's repointing guidance (Preservation Brief 2) calls for repointing mortar that is softer than the brick and no harder than the original mortar.
A modern high-strength mix can look fine at first and then crack the edges of older brick as the wall moves. Our pros match the mortar to the brick in front of them, which matters as much as matching the color.
Restoring a cracked hearth
A masonry hearth has to rest on noncombustible support that carries its weight, under code section R1001.9. Cracks and settling on an older hearth can be surface wear or a sign that the support below has moved.
Our pros check which one it is before quoting. Surface repairs restore the look with matching brick, stone or tile, while a hearth with failed support is rebuilt on a sound base and finished to match the original.
Restoration in stages
Some restoration tasks depend on each other. The flue is cleaned before the smoke chamber is parged, the firebox is relined before the face is cleaned, and the damper works before the first fire.
Our pros mark which stages must come first and which can wait, and they tell you whether the fireplace should stay out of use in between. Each stage carries its own upfront price.
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.
