Before any wall is opened for a fireplace in Eagle Creek
Explained by the crew that frames and pipes fireplaces in Eagle Creek.
The ten-foot rule at the roof
Florida Residential Code section R1003.9 requires a chimney to extend at least 2 feet higher than any portion of a building within 10 feet, and at least 3 feet above the highest point where it passes through the roof. The E-series manual repeats the same rule for its chimney.
The rule protects draft and keeps sparks and exhaust away from the roof. We measure the roof around the planned penetration, including nearby ridges and taller parts of the house, and the chimney height on the estimate comes from that measurement.
A replacement unit needs its own chimney
A replacement factory-built fireplace comes with a listing that names its own chimney system. Pipe installed for the old unit belongs to the old unit's listing, even when the diameter looks the same.
That is why a fireplace replacement usually includes a new chimney from the firebox to the cap. We explain why at the inspection, so the estimate is not a surprise and you are not tempted by a lower quote that reuses pipe the new listing does not include.
What zero clearance really means
Zero clearance is a common name for factory-built fireplaces that may be framed close to combustible materials at particular points. It describes where the standoffs let lumber touch the unit, and nothing more. It does not mean the fireplace can be wrapped in wood or packed with insulation anywhere.
The manual for a zero clearance fireplace still sets air spaces, face materials, mantel heights and chimney clearances. Our installers treat those numbers as the real specification and the name as a shopping category, which is why the framing plan comes from the manual table.
Wood, gas and electric are separate installations
This service covers wood-burning fireplaces, factory-built and masonry, together with the chimneys that serve them. Gas fireplaces and electric fireplaces are installed under their own services, because they bring their own venting, fuel supply or power requirements and their own manuals.
If you are still deciding between wood, gas and electric, we can talk it through at the same free inspection. The choice changes the chimney, the permit and the finish plan, so it is worth settling before any framing is drawn or any unit is ordered.

Do you install gas or electric fireplaces too?
Yes, as separate services with their own requirements. This service covers wood-burning fireplaces and their chimneys. If you are undecided, we can compare the options at the same free visit.
What paperwork should stay with the house afterwards?
The manual, the model and serial number, the chimney parts list, the permit record and the date it went in. We hand them over together, and the listing label stays reachable on the unit, so a later inspection, repair or sale can start from the facts.
