Choosing the right size

Wondering how big the fireplace should be? Bigger isn't automatically better. A unit that's too large for the room can overheat it, and a wood fireplace that's too big for its chimney smokes.

Our specialists match the unit to the room's size and how you plan to use it, from occasional ambiance to real heat, and check that its chimney or vent can carry it. They'll show you the models that fit, with their prices and the reasons behind each. The size you settle on is written on the quote. Reserve a sizing visit for your new fireplace in Lawtey at (352) 675-6366.

Local Conditions

Tight homes and combustion air

If your home in Lawtey is tightly sealed, with strong kitchen and bath fans, a new wood fireplace may need outside combustion air to draw properly. Our specialists plan the air supply with the fireplace, placing the intake where the building code allows and screening it against animals. The duct and intake are priced on their own line.

Routing a factory-built chimney

A factory-built chimney may permit offsets, but their angles, number and support must follow the actual system's instructions. Planning the route includes those limits before framing is opened. Fitting around an obstacle is not enough to establish that a proposed route is allowed.

Nothing is cut until the route is planned, with the ceiling joists and rafters it will pass checked and the maker's clearance to framing kept all the way up.

Where the route crosses a floor or ceiling, the maker's fire stops go in. The route is sketched on your quote so you know where the chimney will run.

The gap between masonry and framing

Combustible framing must remain outside the clearances required for the masonry fireplace. The design also determines the appropriate fireblocking. Concealed details need to be established before finishes cover them, with any required inspection planned into the work.

Our specialists establish the required separation for the proposed fireplace and check the framing arrangement before surrounding finishes conceal it.

Trim and facing near the opening have their own limits, and those are checked too, so the finish work doesn't undo the clearances hidden behind it. The checks are noted on your quote along with the framing plan.

Facing and mantel clearances

The materials around a fireplace opening have rules. On a factory-built unit, the maker's clearance chart sets how close combustible trim and mantels can sit and how far they can project. For a masonry fireplace, the building code sets those limits.

The chart for your unit gets read before the wall is framed and the mantel height is chosen, so the finish work fits the rules from the start and nothing has to be torn out later.

Noncombustible facing is used where the manual or code calls for it. The mantel itself and the finish carpentry are named on the quote with the trade that handles them.

FAQs

Your fireplace installation questions, answered

Which kind of fireplace should I get?

The room decides a lot: an outside wall suits a direct-vent gas unit, an inside wall means a chimney through the attic, and an electric unit fits almost anywhere. Our specialists lay out the options that fit, priced side by side.

Can I put a TV above the fireplace?

That's up to the unit. Each maker's clearance chart sets what can go above, and some units are made for a TV wall. Our specialists check before the wall is framed.
