Selling the house? Start with the fireplace

Selling soon? A cracked firebox, a rusted damper or a crumbling hearth will show up on the buyer's inspection and raise questions you'd rather answer ahead of time.

Find out first which items a buyer's inspector may flag, with each repair priced, so you can decide before listing. The work comes with our workmanship warranty and paperwork showing what was done, which you can hand to the buyer. It's one less item to negotiate over, and a clean, working fireplace is a selling point in its own right. Ask for a pre-listing fireplace check in Jonesville by calling (352) 675-6366.

About 10 miles, measured point to point, lie between Jonesville and the Gainesville reference point. Our specialists serve Jonesville as part of Alachua County.

Local Conditions

Pets, children and fireplace screens

In a busy home in Jonesville, a sturdy screen or doors in front of the fire keep sparks in and small hands and paws away from the glass and the hearth edge. Our pros check that screens and doors fit the opening and close properly, and they'll suggest replacements where gaps let sparks out. Doors are matched to the unit's listing on factory-built models.

What holds the hearth up

A masonry hearth has to be noncombustible all the way down. The Florida Building Code wants it carried on noncombustible supports and reinforced well enough to hold its own weight plus whatever is set on it.

When a hearth cracks straight across or sinks toward the room, the support beneath it may have settled or failed. Our specialists look at the crack pattern, tap for hollow spots and check the floor framing beside it where they can.

Surface cracks can be filled and resealed; a hearth that has dropped needs its support fixed first. The repair plan is written out with its price.

Working from the rating plate

Every factory-built fireplace carries a metal rating plate that identifies the unit: who made it, which model it is and what it's listed to. Look for it on a firebox side wall, under the smoke shelf or behind a lower grille.

That plate is how our pros find the right manual, the correct replacement parts and the rules for doors, grates and panels. Without it, parts get guessed at, and guessed parts may not fit or may break the listing.

If the plate is missing or unreadable, they'll try other ways to identify the unit and tell you if some parts can no longer be found.

Cracked facing around the opening

The facing around the fireplace opening, whether brick, stone or tile, can crack from heat, from the house settling or from a failing lintel above. Tiles can loosen when the bed behind them breaks down.

Tile fixed over a sagging lintel only cracks again, so the cause gets found first. Loose tiles are reset on a heat-suited bed, cracked ones replaced with the closest match, and brick or stone joints repointed.

Facing near the opening has to stay noncombustible, and any change to it is checked against the clearance rules before it goes in. Each part of the job is priced separately.

FAQs

Ask our pros about fireplace repair

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.

Will the repair make a mess in my living room?

The floor is covered from the door to the hearth, furniture is protected, and a vacuum runs as old mortar comes out. Debris leaves in bags and the hearth is cleaned before our pros go.
