How a Fireplace Restoration Comes Together
We look over the whole fireplace, then put a staged plan in front of you.
A full inspection before the plan
The national standard for chimneys and fireplaces, NFPA 211, calls for chimneys, fireplaces and vents to be inspected for soundness, freedom from deposits and correct clearances. A restoration plan built on anything less is guesswork.
Our pros look at the firebox, damper, smoke chamber, lintel, hearth, face and clearances before writing a single line of the plan. The inspection is free, and the findings stay with you.
Cleaning marble, limestone and other stone
Stone surrounds need a different approach from brick. The National Park Service's guidance on cleaning masonry (Preservation Brief 1) warns that an acid cleaner can etch or even dissolve stones that react to acid, marble and limestone among them.
Our pros identify the stone first, test on a hidden spot and use mild, stone-safe cleaners. Where the surface has already been etched, they explain what refinishing can and cannot recover.
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.
Coordinating with the rest of the room
A fireplace restoration often happens alongside new floors, fresh paint or new trim. Doing the fireplace work first keeps dust and mortar off new finishes, and it keeps new floors from covering a short hearth.
Our specialists work out the order with you and any other trades, and the estimate says which tasks are ours and which belong to others. Clear handoffs keep the finished room free of surprises.
