Hearth repair details for Florida Center homes
From tile to base to size, this is how our family-owned crew reads a hearth in Florida Center.
Tile found laid over plywood
Some hearth extensions turn out, once the old tile comes up, to be thin tile set on plywood or particleboard. The finish looked like a hearth, while the material under it can burn.
The code expects hearths and extensions of concrete or masonry on noncombustible support. When we find wood under a hearth finish, we stop, show you and price a proper extension. Tiling over that wood again is off the table.
- Work stopped when wood is found
- The finding shown to you
- A proper extension priced on noncombustible support
Hearths for see-through fireplaces
A see-through fireplace opens into two rooms, and each opening sits in front of its own floor. The protection in front of one side does nothing for the other.
We measure each opening and each extension separately and write them as two items on the estimate. Repairs often differ between the sides as well, since one side usually faces the busier room.
- Each opening measured
- Each extension measured
- Two lines on the estimate
A hearth in a fireplace that has sat unused
A fireplace left unused for years often has a hearth that became a shelf, a plant stand or a spot for a television. Loose tiles and cracks can go unnoticed under those objects.
Before the first fire in a long time, we clear the extension, check the finish and the base, and confirm the size against the opening. Any repairs go on a written list, and chimney and firebox checks are scheduled as their own service if they are due.
- Extension cleared and checked
- Finish tapped and looked over
- Size confirmed against the opening
- Chimney and firebox checks booked separately if due
Hearth finishes in metal or glass
Some modern hearths use sheet metal, glass tile or a solid glass panel set on a noncombustible base. They look clean and show scratches, chips and loose edges plainly.
Repairs start with identifying the product, since glass and metal finishes come in specific sizes and thicknesses. We confirm the base under them and replace damaged panels or tiles with matching material, sealed and edged to suit the fireplace.

Before your hearth repair in Florida Center
Questions we hear on hearth visits in Florida Center, answered plainly.
Is a hearth rug enough to protect the floor?
A rug can catch ash and small sparks, and it works as an extra layer. The protection the code relies on is the hearth extension itself, built of noncombustible material on noncombustible support.
Can a hearth extension be made larger?
Yes. An extension can be enlarged with matching or contrasting material built on noncombustible support and thick enough for your fireplace. We draw the new size on the estimate before any work starts.
