The Craft Behind a Restored Fireplace
No hidden fees, just the stages, the methods and the prices in writing.
When the firebox walls need rebuilding
Behind the lining, the code wants 8 inches of solid masonry in the back and side walls, and that 8 inches counts a firebrick lining 2 or more inches thick. Heat that has worked through a failed lining for years can damage that masonry too.
Our specialists check the wall behind the old lining once it is out. If the masonry itself has failed, rebuilding it becomes a separate line in the estimate, explained before the work goes further.
Bringing an old damper back into service
Code section R1001.7.1 calls for a ferrous metal damper that works from the room, set at least 8 inches above the opening. Years of rust and disuse can seize the plate, warp the frame or break the linkage.
Our specialists clean, free and adjust a damper that is still sound, and replace the handle, pivots or linkage where needed. When the frame has rusted through, a new damper is the honest recommendation.
Taking old paint off fireplace brick
Removing paint from brick is slow, careful work, and it does not always bring back a perfect face, since paint often covers stains or repairs. A test patch shows what lies underneath before the whole face is stripped.
In homes built before 1978, the EPA's Renovation, Repair and Painting rule requires lead-safe work practices for paid work that disturbs paint. Our pros raise that question at the inspection, and the estimate spells out how that step is handled.
Restoring a factory-built fireplace
Code section R1004.1 requires a factory-built fireplace, a listed metal unit, to stay within its listing. Restoring one means working from the maker's manual and parts list, including refractory panels, screens, doors and the grate.
Our specialists find the rating plate, confirm the model and fit listed parts only. If the parts are no longer made, we explain your options plainly before recommending anything.
