About this service

Fireplace repair addresses issues with the firebox, damper, hearth, and surrounding masonry. It is necessary when you notice damaged firebricks, a damper that won't open or close correctly, or significant smoke leaking into the room. Whether it is an issue with the firebox floor or the metal components of the fireplace, repairing these parts is essential to prevent heat from transferring to combustible areas of your home. A professional inspection will determine if the problem is cosmetic or structural.

Summer offers clear, dry weather, making it the perfect time to handle exterior masonry repairs. Since your fireplace is likely dormant, we can complete structural work without disrupting your home life. From tuckpointing to chimney cap replacements, we tackle the projects that are harder to manage during the cold months. Call us now to get your repairs finished while the weather stays cooperative.
