Fireplace Repair & Restoration

A fireplace should be a source of warmth and ambiance—not a source of problems. Whether you have a traditional wood-burning fireplace, a gas fireplace, or a modern insert, professional repair and maintenance are essential for safe, efficient operation.

Wood-Burning Fireplace Repair

Traditional wood-burning fireplaces are beautiful focal points but require regular maintenance. Common repair issues include:

  • Damper malfunction (won't open/close smoothly)
  • Smoke backing into the room
  • Cracked firebox or damaged firebrick
  • Failed damper seal allowing heat loss
  • Deteriorating hearth or surrounding masonry
  • Chimney draft problems reducing efficiency

Gas Fireplace Service

Gas fireplaces offer convenience and cleanliness, but they require specialized maintenance. We provide:

  • Pilot light repair and adjustment
  • Burner cleaning and maintenance
  • Gas line inspection for safety
  • Thermostat and ignition system diagnosis
  • Log or rock bed replacement
  • Safety inspections to prevent carbon monoxide issues

Fireplace Insert Repair

Fireplace inserts improve efficiency but can develop issues. We repair wood-burning and gas inserts including damper problems, seal failure, glass door damage, and performance issues.

Our Repair Process

  1. Complete Inspection: Visual and operational assessment of all fireplace components.
  2. Problem Diagnosis: Identification of root causes, not just symptoms.
  3. Clear Explanation: We explain the problem and repair options in plain language.
  4. Professional Repair: Quality work using appropriate parts and techniques.
  5. Testing: Verification that repairs work correctly and safely.

Safety Matters

Fireplace issues can create safety hazards—smoke backup, carbon monoxide risk in gas units, or structural fire risk. Professional diagnosis ensures these concerns are properly addressed. Don't ignore warning signs like unusual odors, smoke backup, or visual damage.

Warning Signs Your Fireplace Needs Repair

  • Smoke backing into room during fires
  • Damper stuck open or won't seal
  • Unusual odors or creosote smell
  • Cracked firebrick or visible damage
  • Gas fireplace pilot light problems
  • Reduced heating performance
