Planning the restoration of your Boggy Creek fireplace
Notes from the family-owned team that restores fireplaces in Boggy Creek.
Masonry fireplace or factory-built unit
The first thing we identify is what kind of fireplace you own. A masonry fireplace is built on site from brick or stone and lined with firebrick. A factory-built fireplace is a metal firebox with refractory panels, made and tested as a system and set into a framed wall.
The two are restored in very different ways. Masonry repairs follow the fireplace sections of the Florida Building Code and use refractory materials made for firebox heat. A factory-built unit follows its maker's listing and parts list. Knowing which one sits in your Boggy Creek living room is the start of an honest scope.
Small fireplaces built for coal
Some older fireplaces were built for coal. They are small and shallow, sometimes fitted with a cast iron grate sized for coal instead of logs. A full wood fire in one can smoke badly and overheat the back of the firebox.
If yours looks like it was built for coal, you hear that before any work is priced. The choices usually come down to keeping it as a decorative feature, restoring it for small fires where the design allows, or another option. We explain each without pushing.
Cracked tile around the opening
Ceramic and stone tile around a fireplace opening cracks from heat, settling or a knock from a log. Replacing a few tiles is usually simple when matches exist and the bed behind them is sound.
We lift the damaged tiles, check the backing and set replacements on a suitable noncombustible base. When a tile has been discontinued, you see the closest options and decide whether to patch or replace a larger area of the surround in your Boggy Creek home.
A capped gas pipe in a wood fireplace
Some wood fireplaces have a capped gas pipe in the firebox, left from an earlier appliance or a plan that never happened. Its presence says nothing about whether it is safe to use.
We note it and leave it alone. Any gas work belongs to a qualified gas professional, and a wood-burning restoration does not depend on it. If you are unsure what the pipe serves, we tell you who to ask.

Your Boggy Creek restoration questions, answered
Questions we hear during free inspections in Boggy Creek.
Do you restore factory-built fireplaces?
Yes, within the maker's listing. Panels, screens and other parts come from the maker's parts list for your model. If a needed part is no longer made, we explain what that means for the unit.
Will the repairs match the original brick and mortar?
We look for brick close in size, color and texture and match mortar color, sand and joint shape. You see the closest options before anything is cut out, and if no good match exists, you decide how to proceed.
