Usually a draft problem, a dirty flue, a damper that isn't opening fully, or a chimney that's too short relative to the roofline. We'll diagnose the actual cause before recommending a fix.
Can a cracked firebox be repaired, or does it need to be replaced?
It depends on the crack. Hairline cracks in firebrick can usually be repaired with high-heat refractory mortar. Loose or missing bricks, or cracks that go all the way through, usually mean rebuilding that section. We show you photos and tell you straight which one you need.
Do you repair wood-burning inserts too?
Yes. We service and repair wood-burning fireplace inserts, including the liner, connections, gaskets and doors. An insert that smokes, drafts poorly or won't seal properly is worth having checked before you burn in it again.
How much does a typical fireplace repair cost?
It depends on what's wrong, so we look before we quote. Every repair starts with a free estimate that explains what we found and what it will cost, with no hidden fees. Call (469) 777-8432 to set one up.
