Restoration know-how from our Eagles Nest team
What our specialists look at, and why, on restoration jobs around Eagles Nest.
An inspection before the first fire
NFPA 211, the national standard for chimneys, fireplaces and vents, expects each of them to be inspected every year. A fireplace coming back into use after years of rest has the strongest case for that check, because nobody knows how it was left.
Every restoration scope we write in Eagles Nest includes the flue above the fireplace, from the smoke chamber to the cap. Cleaning and checking that path before the first fire is part of returning the fireplace to use, and anything outside the fireplace itself is priced as its own item.
When smoke rolls out of the opening
A fireplace that pushes smoke out of the opening has a reason. A cold flue, a damper that does not open all the way, debris in the smoke chamber, an opening too large for the flue or a house with strong exhaust fans can each be part of the answer.
We look for that reason before pricing any cosmetic work. Cleaning the face of a smoky fireplace without fixing the draft only means cleaning the same stains again. Our Eagles Nest crew explains what we found and which repairs should improve it.
Testing the cleaning method first
Some cleaners react with minerals in brick and create new stains. Industry guidance is to try any cleaning method on a small, out-of-sight area before treating the whole face.
On a restoration in Eagles Nest, we pick a spot low on the face or beside a side wall, clean it and let it dry before judging the result. You look at the test with us, so the finished face matches what you expected.
Keeping cooled air out of the chimney
An open or poorly sealed damper lets conditioned air leave the house through the flue whenever the fireplace sits idle. In a home that runs air conditioning for much of the year, that loss adds up.
Part of restoring a fireplace is making sure it closes as well as it opens. We check the damper seal and explain the choices, from adjusting the existing damper to fitting a sealing damper at the top of the flue.

What Eagles Nest homeowners ask about old fireplaces
If yours is not here, call and our Eagles Nest team will answer it.
What does fireplace restoration include?
It depends on the fireplace. A typical restoration covers cleaning, the firebox lining, the damper, the smoke chamber, the hearth and the brick or stone face, each listed separately in your estimate. Work on the chimney above appears on its own lines.
Will you pressure wash my fireplace?
No. Pressure washing and abrasive blasting can permanently damage brick and mortar joints, and indoors they soak the wall and floor. Fireplace faces are cleaned by hand with the mildest method that works.
