Its job is to catch sparks and rolling embers and keep radiant heat off the flooring, so its size depends on the size of the opening and the fireplace type.

Cracked tiles, a split slab or loose stone can let heat and embers reach the subfloor beneath, so a damaged hearth is a safety repair as well as a cosmetic one. We start by checking what the tile or stone sits on. A hearth that cracks again and again is often moving on a weak base, and replacing the surface without fixing the base only delays the next crack.

Once the base is sound, we reset or replace the tile or stone, using setting materials rated for the heat near the opening. The surround and mantel follow rules too. Combustible trim and mantels need set distances from the opening, and those distances grow with how far the material projects. If you are changing a surround, adding a mantel shelf or raising a hearth, tell us before you buy materials, and we will check the plan against the fireplace's requirements.

A gas or factory-built unit follows its own manual for these clearances. The estimate describes the base repair, the surface work and any trim changes, each with an upfront price. We clean up and haul away the old tile, stone and debris, the written record of the work is yours to keep, and the repair carries our workmanship warranty.

On days with an opening, a same-day visit is possible. To arrange a hearth or surround repair in Pebble Creek, tell us your address, the material of the hearth and what you have noticed, whether cracks, loose pieces or scorch marks on nearby trim.
