Restoration know-how from our Avalon Park team
What our specialists look at, and why, on restoration jobs around Avalon Park.
Signs of earlier changes to the fireplace
Older fireplaces carry traces of past owners. An opening partly bricked in, a damper wired shut, a capped pipe in the firebox or a surround built over the original face all change what a restoration involves. Some of those changes were sound. Others were never meant to last.
Each alteration we find goes into your notes with a recommendation to keep it, look closer or reverse it before the fireplace is used. You get that in writing, so nothing from an earlier project is quietly carried into yours.
A hearth that has settled
A hearth that tilts, pulls away from the fireplace face or leaves a gap at the firebox edge has usually moved with its support. That gap lets embers slip under the hearth, which is exactly what a hearth is there to stop.
Our technicians find out why it moved before recommending a repair. Sealing a gap over a support problem only hides it for a while. The written plan keeps the visible repair and any support work as separate lines.
Matching new mortar indoors
Outdoor mortar weathers and softens in color over time. Mortar on an indoor fireplace face barely weathers at all, so a poor match stays visible for years. Color, texture and sand all have to be close from the first day.
We compare mortar samples against the existing joints before the real work starts, and the new joints are tooled to the same profile as the old ones. Getting that right is much of what separates a restored face from a patched one.
Rust inside a factory-built firebox
Rust on the metal walls of a factory-built firebox, or rust streaking down from the top, usually means water has been getting in from the chimney above, often at the chase top or the cap.
We trace the water before the firebox is restored. A rusted-through firebox is not something we patch. When the metal is still sound, the restoration can go ahead once the water entry has been fixed as its own item.

Fireplace restoration questions from Avalon Park
What Avalon Park homeowners want to know before they book.
Why does our unused fireplace smell musty?
Damp air and old soot in the flue often cause a musty smell when the house is closed up and cooled. A damper that does not seal lets it in. Cleaning, a sealing damper and a sound cap usually solve it.
Will restoration change how the fireplace looks?
Restoration brings back the original look, cleaned and repaired. Changing the style, such as a new surround or a new finish, is a different kind of project, and we keep the two apart in the estimate.
