Planning the restoration of your Clarcona fireplace
This is how our local crew thinks through a restoration in Clarcona.
A damper rusted in place
A throat damper that has not moved in years is often rusted shut or frozen half open. Forcing the handle can snap the linkage or crack a cast plate, so we free it slowly and check the frame, pivot and seat once it moves.
Our technicians in Clarcona tell you whether the damper can be cleaned and adjusted or needs replacing. A damper that no longer closes is also where cooled air slips out of the house whenever the fireplace sits idle.
Space around a restored fireplace
The U.S. Fire Administration advises a clear zone of 3 feet or more between a fireplace and anything that can burn. Furniture, rugs, baskets and decorations tend to creep closer over the years, especially around a fireplace nobody uses.
When we hand back a restored fireplace in Clarcona, we point out anything sitting too close. A metal mesh screen in front of an open fire keeps sparks off the floor, and a clear hearth keeps the new work looking new.
Old paint on fireplace brick
Painted fireplace brick can hide cracks and open joints, and paint in older homes may contain lead. Environmental Protection Agency rules apply to paid work that disturbs painted surfaces in homes built before 1978.
Old paint should be tested for lead before anyone scrapes, sands or strips it. If lead is present, removing that paint is regulated work with its own procedures, and you hear about that before the rest of the restoration is planned. Nothing painted is disturbed until that question has an answer.
Factory-built models the maker no longer supports
Some factory-built fireplaces outlive the companies that made them. When replacement panels or screens are no longer available, the options narrow. A unit may still be usable with its current parts, or it may be time to compare replacement.
You get a summary of what the maker's records show and what that means for your fireplace. It is the honest version, even when it is not the answer you were hoping for.

Restoration answers for Clarcona homeowners
Two common questions from our restoration visits in Clarcona.
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.
Is the damper part of a restoration?
Yes. A rusted, warped or missing damper is repaired or replaced so it opens fully and closes firmly. The Florida Building Code calls for a metal damper that can be worked from the room.
