Fireplace Restoration Work for Riverview Homes
Here is how our local pros clean, repoint and rebuild a neglected fireplace.
Matching mortar color and texture
Mortar color comes mostly from its sand, and fresh mortar dries lighter than it looks when wet. That is why a match is judged on dry samples, a practice the Park Service's repointing guidance also describes.
Our pros mix trial batches, let them dry and compare them with the existing joints before repointing the visible face. You approve the sample, so the finished fireplace looks like one piece.
Replacing damaged face brick
A face brick that has cracked through, crumbled or broken at the corner can be cut out and replaced without disturbing its neighbors. The hard part is finding a brick that matches in size, color and texture.
Our specialists look for the closest match available and, where possible, take replacement brick from less visible spots. They show you the match before setting it, so there are no surprises on the face.
Original trim and today's clearances
Wood trim and shelves on older fireplaces were not always placed with today's clearances in mind. Under the exceptions to code section R1001.11, combustible trim stays at least 6 inches from the opening, and where it sits within 12 inches, it can stick out no more than 1/8 inch for each inch it is from the opening.
Our pros measure the trim around your fireplace as part of the restoration inspection and explain what the clearances allow before any fires are planned.
What earlier repairs can tell us
Old invoices, product labels and even the patches themselves show how the fireplace has been treated over the years. That history helps explain the damage you see today.
Keep any paperwork you have, and please leave old patches in place until the inspection. Our specialists read them as clues, then decide what stays and what is redone. A patch that failed once tells us which material not to use again.
