Restoration know-how from our Johnson Village team
What our specialists look at, and why, on restoration jobs around Johnson Village.
Paint inside the firebox
Some owners paint a stained firebox black to freshen it up. Paint can hide cracked firebrick and open joints, and ordinary paint inside a firebox burns off in the first fires, giving off fumes and flakes.
If your firebox has been painted, we look closely at the joints and brick faces under the coating. Where it hides a problem, the repair comes first. You also get a straight answer on what should and should not be applied inside a firebox before any finish is discussed.
A hearth extension that is too small
The code sets minimum sizes for a masonry hearth extension. Its depth in front of the opening is 16 inches at minimum and it laps past each side by 8 inches, rising to 20 inches deep and 12 inches past each side for openings of 6 square feet or more.
Older hearths and remodeled floors do not always meet those numbers. We measure yours and tell you whether wood flooring or carpet sits too close. Extending a hearth changes the floor, so the options are explained before anything is priced for your Johnson Village home.
Parts that belong to the listing
A factory-built fireplace is tested as a whole system under UL 127, and the Florida Building Code holds its installation to the terms of that listing. Replacement screens, panels, grates and chimney parts should come from the maker's parts list for that model.
When we restore a factory-built unit in Johnson Village, the estimate names each part by the maker's description. If a part is no longer available, you hear that directly, along with whether the unit can still return to safe use without it.
Reopening a fireplace that was closed off
A fireplace that was bricked up, boarded over or sealed behind drywall has been out of sight for a long time. Reopening it means checking the opening, the firebox and the flue as if nobody had seen them before.
Where the closure allows, we open a small section first, look inside and price the full restoration from what we find. You decide how far to go once you know what sits behind the wall.

Quick answers on restoration in Johnson Village
What Johnson Village homeowners want to know before they book.
How long before we can use the fireplace again?
New refractory work needs the curing time the mortar maker sets, followed by a few small fires. You get the exact steps at the handover. Work that involves no new mortar may be ready sooner.
Is the restoration inspection really free?
Yes. The inspection and the written estimate cost nothing, and there is no obligation. Work booked within 72 hours after the free inspection is also 10% off.
