Before an old fireplace is lit again in Dover Shores West
Notes from the family-owned team that restores fireplaces in Dover Shores West.
Why we never pressure wash fireplace brick
High-pressure water and abrasive blasting clean by wearing away the surface. Brick Industry Association guidance warns that both can etch mortar joints and strip the outer face of the brick, and that damage is permanent.
Indoors, water under pressure also soaks the wall and the floor. We clean fireplace faces by hand, starting with the gentlest method that works. If a stain will not come out without harming the brick, you hear that before we scar the face chasing it.
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.
Protecting the room during the work
Fireplace restoration happens in the middle of a lived-in room. Floors and nearby furniture are covered, the hearth is protected and dust control is set up before any mortar is cut or brick is cleaned.
At the end of each day the room is left tidy, and at the end of the job it is cleaned before we go. Our crew in Dover Shores West treats your living room the way we would want ours treated.
What our workmanship warranty covers
Our workmanship warranty covers the repairs our crew carries out. It does not extend to old components you asked us to leave in place, which is one more reason the estimate keeps the two apart.
If something we did is not right, we come back and fix it under our 100% satisfaction guarantee. You will know exactly which parts of the fireplace that promise covers.

Restoration answers for Dover Shores West homeowners
Questions we hear during free inspections in Dover Shores West.
Can a fireplace that has not been used in years be used again?
Often, yes. It needs a full check of the firebox, damper, smoke chamber and flue first, because idle years hide cracks, rust and debris. We tell you what it needs before the first fire.
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.
