Clearances you can't see after the walls close

After the drywall and tile go on, the spaces around a fireplace are hidden. Factory-built units come with required standoffs to framing, and masonry fireplaces need air space from wood framing on every side.

Before the walls close, every clearance is checked against the maker's manual or the code, and the finish trades wait until it's right. It's the part of the job you won't see once the room is finished, and the part that matters most for safety. Each check is noted on the quote, so there's a record. Ask our specialists about clearances in Starke: (352) 675-6366.

Local Conditions

Additions and new rooms

Adding a room to a home in Starke? That's the easiest time to plan a fireplace, with the footing, framing, chimney route and air supply built in from the start. Our specialists work with your builder, and the quote separates our fireplace work from the builder's construction. Planning early saves opening finished walls later, and it keeps the fireplace in proportion with the new room.

Metal system or brick built on site

One path is a factory-built fireplace: a metal firebox and chimney that were tested and listed together. It's lighter, quicker to install and fits more rooms, including upstairs ones. The other path is a masonry fireplace, laid up in brick or stone on its own footing, which is heavier, slower and more costly.

Both can burn wood, and both have rules: the factory-built unit follows its listing and manual, and the masonry fireplace follows the building code's fireplace chapter.

Our specialists explain what each would mean for your house, from the floor to the roof, and price both where both fit.

Carrying the weight of the unit

Every fireplace adds weight to the floor, and a factory-built chimney adds load to whatever holds it up. The Florida Building Code wants the members that carry a factory-built chimney designed for that extra load.

Floor framing under the unit and hearth, and the ceiling and roof framing that the chimney's supports bear on, all get checked. On a slab, the floor is rarely a concern; on a framed floor or an upstairs room, it gets a closer look.

If reinforcement is needed, the quote names it and the trade that does it, and the work is scheduled before the fireplace goes in.

A chimney chase on an outside wall

When a factory-built fireplace sits on an outside wall, its chimney can run up the outside of the house inside a framed chase. The chase is framed like a small wall, sided in the same material as the rest of the house, and capped with a metal chase cover.

Inside the chase, the chimney keeps its listed clearances and fire stops. Framing and siding the chase are carpentry and siding work, and the quote says who does them.

The fireplace, the chimney and the maker's parts through the chase are ours to install, along with a chase cover and cap that shed water.

FAQs

Choosing a fuel? Ask us

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.

Do you run the gas line?

No, a gas contractor runs the gas line to the unit. Our pros install the fireplace and its venting and coordinate the timing, and the quote names who does each part.
