From a cracked firebox to a gas fireplace that won't light, we repair the parts of your fireplace that aren't the chimney itself.
Checking firebrick and mortar joints inside the firebox for cracks or gaps.
Damaged brick or refractory panels replaced to restore fire-safe clearance.
Mechanisms cleaned, adjusted, or replaced so they open and close fully.
Cracked or settling hearth extensions addressed for both safety and appearance.
Ignition, pilot light, and venting issues diagnosed on gas units.
Cracked glass or damaged screens repaired or replaced.
Gaps that expose combustible material behind the firebox to direct heat.
Mechanical wear or debris preventing proper operation of the mechanism.
The extension in front of the fireplace showing wear, cracking, or settling.
Pilot, ignition, or venting issues specific to gas units.
A transition point that needs to stay properly sealed against the structure above.
Fireplace type and the specific components involved drive the cost.
No service call fee, no obligation. Written quote before any work begins.
Wood-burning, gas insert, and factory-built units each need different parts and expertise.
A few bricks versus a full relining are very different jobs.
Ignition and venting diagnostics add time on gas units specifically.
Older units sometimes need custom-sourced or fabricated replacement parts.
Tell us what type of fireplace you have and what's going on.
We inspect the firebox, damper, and components.
Right-sized fix, from firebrick to gas components.
We test it and back the repair for three years in writing.
It depends on the fireplace type and which components need attention. We give a free on-site estimate with a written quote before any work begins.
Yes. Cracks in firebrick can expose combustible material behind the firebox to direct heat, which is a genuine fire safety concern rather than just a cosmetic issue. It's worth having checked rather than ignored.
Yes, including ignition, pilot light, and venting diagnostics. Gas units have their own specific failure points separate from wood-burning fireplaces.
The firebox is the interior compartment where the fire actually burns, lined with firebrick or refractory panels. The chimney is the structure above it that vents combustion gases outside. They're connected but distinct systems, which is why fireplace repair and chimney repair are separate services.
Often, yes. Depending on the extent of cracking or settling, we can frequently repair the affected section rather than replacing the entire hearth extension.
Annually, alongside your regular chimney inspection. Catching firebox or damper wear early is much less costly than waiting until it becomes a larger repair.
