Before any wall is opened for a fireplace in Moss Park
Explained by the crew that frames and pipes fireplaces in Moss Park.
Measuring the ten-foot rule on a sloped roof
When the horizontal distance from the chimney to the peak of the roof is more than 10 feet, the manual describes setting a reference point on the roof surface 10 feet from the side of the chimney. The top of the chimney must be at least 2 feet above that point, and never less than 3 feet above the roof penetration.
On a steep roof, that reference point can make the chimney taller than people expect. We measure it at the planning visit, so the height and the number of sections are known before anything is ordered.
The termination cap and decorative shrouds
The cap at the top of a factory-built chimney is part of the listed system. Decorative shrouds, under section R1004.3, shall not be installed at the termination of chimneys for factory-built fireplaces unless the shrouds are listed and labeled for use with that specific fireplace system.
If you want a decorative top that matches the house, it has to come from the approved list for your system. We show you the options your manual allows and explain why a custom metal shroud from a sheet-metal shop is not one of them.
Taking the old fireplace out
Removing a factory-built fireplace means opening the face finish, disconnecting the chimney, lifting out the pipe sections and sliding the firebox out through the room. The old chimney is usually removed from the roof down.
Our crew protects the floor and furniture, keeps the roof opening closed at the end of each day and hauls the old unit away when that is in the scope. Removal and disposal are separate lines on the estimate, and the room is cleaned before the new fireplace arrives.
Access for service after the wall is finished
A fireplace needs service over its life: doors adjusted, the damper checked, a blower replaced where one is fitted and the chimney swept from the top. Some of those jobs need access that a heavy stone face or a built-in cabinet can block.
We keep the access the manual calls for when the face, the surround and any built-ins are planned. A future repair should start with a screwdriver rather than a hammer, and planning for it now costs almost nothing.

Asked by Moss Park homeowners before a fireplace goes in
What people in Moss Park ask us before a fireplace is ordered.
Do you install gas or electric fireplaces too?
Yes, as separate services with their own requirements. This service covers wood-burning fireplaces and their chimneys. If you are undecided, we can compare the options at the same free visit.
Will our roof be left open overnight?
No. The chimney goes through a framed opening between rafters or trusses and is closed with the listed roof parts and a storm collar. Any open roof is covered at the end of each working day, and the estimate says how we reach the roof and protect it while we work.
