Repairing the lining that holds the fire
Cracks that open wide or run through the brick
A crack you can fit a fingernail into, one that runs through several bricks or one that has opened since last season is a different matter from a hairline line. Heat and gases can reach deeper into the wall through an open crack.
Our technicians trace where the crack starts and ends, check whether bricks on either side have moved and look for signs of heat behind the lining. The written estimate says whether replacing those bricks will close the gap or whether a larger section needs relining.
A fireplace that has not been used in years
A fireplace that sat unused for years can hide dry, crumbling joints, cracked brick and debris, even if it looks fine from the room. Moisture and time work on a firebox whether fires are lit or not.
Before the first fire in a long time, have the firebox checked. Our technicians inspect the lining, the joints and the floor and tell you honestly whether it is ready or needs repair first.

Each visit finishes with either a firebox that is ready for the next fire or a written plan that shows how to get there. Prices are upfront, and our 100% satisfaction guarantee applies throughout.
The steel angle over the opening
Many masonry fireplaces carry the brick above the opening on a steel angle. Heat and moisture can rust it, and a rusted angle can sag or crack the brick it supports.
We look at the angle during a firebox visit. If it is rusted or sagging, that is noted and quoted as its own item, separate from the lining, because it involves the facing above the opening.
A screen across the opening
A screen across the opening keeps sparks and rolling embers in the firebox. It also keeps logs from sliding forward onto the edge of the floor and the hearth, where they can crack brick.
If your fireplace has no screen, or the screen no longer fits after a repair, our technicians mention it. It is a simple addition that protects the room and the new brick alike.

Firebox repair, the short answers
What is the difference between repointing and relining?
Repointing replaces worn joints while the bricks stay in place. Relining replaces the firebrick lining across a wall or the whole firebox. Repointing suits sound bricks with worn joints, and relining suits widespread damage.
My fireplace has brick-pattern panels. Is that the same repair?
No. Molded panels belong to a factory-built fireplace and are replaced with parts made for that model. That is prefab fireplace repair, a different job from firebrick work, and we check which you have first.
