Screens, grates and andirons

Grate sagging, screen torn or andirons too big for the firebox? The grate holds the fire where the fireplace is designed to burn it, and one that's too big or too tall pushes the fire forward, toward the room.

We make sure the grate suits the firebox and, on a factory-built unit, that it's the type the manual calls for. Screens and doors are checked for gaps that let sparks out. Replacement parts are quoted with sizes that fit. It's simple stuff that makes a real difference. Ask about fireplace accessories that fit your firebox in Bronson at (352) 675-6366.

Local Conditions

Mantels, rugs and the hearth

Decorating around the fireplace in Bronson? A rug laid over the hearth extension, a wooden mantel added close to the opening, or furniture pulled up near the fire all reduce the space that keeps sparks and heat from reaching combustibles. Our specialists check clearances whenever they work on a fireplace and point out anything too close, with the building code's distances explained.

Open joints at the back wall

The back wall of the firebox takes the most direct heat, and its mortar joints tend to be the first to open. Gaps you can slip a blade into let heat pass through the lining to the masonry behind it.

Our specialists rake out the failed joints to sound material, clean them, and pack in fresh refractory mortar, tooled flush and tight. Loose bricks are removed, cleaned and reset.

The repair needs time to cure before you light another fire, and they'll tell you how long noted on the quote. Catching open joints early keeps a small repair from turning into a firebox rebuild.

Doors on factory-built fireplaces

Glass doors change how a fireplace breathes and how hot its parts get. The Florida Building Code allows gasketed doors on a factory-built fireplace only when the fireplace is listed for them.

Only the doors the maker lists for your model, found from the rating plate, go on. On masonry fireplaces, doors are chosen to fit the opening and seal against it.

Cracked door glass is replaced with the maker's heat-rated glass, since ordinary window glass can shatter under fire heat. Door options and prices are laid out on the quote, with the listing noted where it applies.

Cleaning soot from the brick face

Soot stains above the opening are a sign smoke has been spilling out. Once the cause is fixed, the stain can be cleaned, and how depends on the brick or stone.

Dry methods, like a soot sponge, come first, then cleaners suited to the surface, with a small area tested before the rest. Harsh acids are avoided, since they can etch brick and stone and leave stains of their own.

Some staining on porous brick won't come out in full, and our pros tell you what to expect before starting. Cleaning is priced separately from the repair that fixed the smoke.

FAQs

Ask our pros about fireplace repair

Why do you need to know if it's factory-built?

Masonry fireplaces are repaired with refractory brick and mortar; factory-built units need the maker's listed parts. Our specialists read the rating plate to find the right ones.

Can you stop smoke coming out of the opening?

The damper may not open fully, the smoke chamber may be rough, the opening may be too big for the flue, or the house may be pulling air in. Our pros test each and tell you which it is.
