Restoration know-how from our MetroWest team
Practical points from the technicians who restore fireplaces in MetroWest.
A grate that suits the firebox
A grate that is too large pushes the fire toward the opening, where heat and smoke are more likely to reach the room and the face brick. A grate that is warped or broken lets logs roll forward.
When we hand back a restored fireplace, we check that the grate fits the firebox and sits well back from the opening. It is a simple point, and it protects the new work on the face and hearth through the first season of fires in your MetroWest home.
Replacing a cracked face brick
A face brick that is cracked through, flaking at the surface or burned at the edge of the opening can be cut out and replaced. The old mortar around it is removed without harming the bricks beside it.
Finding a match is the hard part. We look for a brick close in size, color and texture and show you the closest option before cutting anything out. If no acceptable match exists in MetroWest or beyond, you decide whether to replace the unit anyway or leave it in place.
Alarms and a clear hearth before the first fire
Test the smoke and carbon monoxide alarms in the house before the first fire of the season. Clear the hearth of anything that can burn and keep a metal screen in front of an open wood fire.
These are small habits, and they matter most with a fireplace that is new to you. Our crew in MetroWest goes over them at the handover along with the curing steps for the new work.
A capped gas pipe in a wood fireplace
Some wood fireplaces have a capped gas pipe in the firebox, left from an earlier appliance or a plan that never happened. Its presence says nothing about whether it is safe to use.
We note it and leave it alone. Any gas work belongs to a qualified gas professional, and a wood-burning restoration does not depend on it. If you are unsure what the pipe serves, we tell you who to ask.
