Restoration know-how from our Hunter's Creek team
What our specialists look at, and why, on restoration jobs around Hunter's Creek.
Firebox shape and depth
The Florida Building Code sets a minimum depth of 20 inches for the firebox of a masonry fireplace, with a separate rule for Rumford designs. Proportions matter, since a shallow firebox with a wide opening is more likely to push smoke out toward the room.
When we restore an existing firebox, we measure it and tell you what its shape means for burning wood. Any section that has to be rebuilt is laid out to current code. A working firebox is never reshaped without a reason we can explain.
Letting new refractory work cure
Fresh refractory mortar and new firebrick joints need time and gentle heat before a full fire. Mortar makers publish their own curing steps, and those directions decide when the fireplace is ready for use.
At the end of a restoration in Hunter's Creek, we tell you when the first fire can be lit and how small it should be. A big fire in fresh work can crack joints that would otherwise have lasted, so the guidance is kept simple and written into your handover notes.
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 Hunter's Creek, 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.
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.

Fireplace restoration questions from Hunter's Creek
If yours is not here, call and our Hunter's Creek team will answer it.
Can you take paint off our brick fireplace?
Often, once we know what is under it. In a home built before 1978, the paint should be tested for lead first, because disturbing lead paint is regulated work. Where lead is ruled out, a stripping method is tested on a small section before the whole face.
Can you restore a small fireplace built for coal?
Sometimes. Coal fireplaces are small and shallow, and a full wood fire in one can smoke and overheat the firebox. We explain what the design allows before you decide how to use it.
