Fireplace repair from the grate to the damper
A repair record that stays with the house
Houses change hands. Whoever buys your home, or the technician who comes next, will want to know what was repaired, with what and when. Without a record, a sound repair can look like an unknown patch and get torn out for no reason.
After each fireplace repair in New Malibu, we leave a written record of the work. It names the fireplace type, the model where there is one, the parts fitted and the materials used, such as refractory mortar in a firebox or a listed replacement panel in a factory-built unit. Items we found but did not repair are listed as well, with the reason.
Keep it with the owner manual. It helps at a home sale, on a future service call and whenever a question about the fireplace comes up years from now.
Fans fitted to some factory-built wood units
Some factory-built wood fireplaces are fitted with a blower that moves room air around the firebox and back into the room. When it fails, you may hear rattling or grinding, the fan runs without moving much air or it will not start at all.
A blower is a model part. The motor, the mounting and the connection come from the maker's parts list, and the service instructions for the model set how they are reached and replaced. A generic fan fitted in its place is not part of the listed system.
Our technicians confirm the model, test the blower and its control and replace worn parts with the maker's kit. New wiring or a new circuit to the fireplace is work for an electrician, and we tell you when a fault has crossed that line. The blower parts and any electrical note sit on separate lines of the estimate.
Fireplace accessories follow their listing
Glass doors, screens and grates are the add-ons most people mean by fireplace accessories. The Florida Building Code asks for listed and labeled accessories to be installed according to their listing and the maker's instructions. On a factory-built fireplace, the fireplace's own listing also decides which accessories may be added at all.
Trouble shows up when an accessory bought for one fireplace ends up in another, or when parts from different accessory kits are combined. A heat shield left out, a door bracket drilled in the wrong place or a screen that does not cover the opening can each undo what the listing expects. A grate bought for a larger firebox is one example.
Our technicians check accessories against their labels and instructions, refit them correctly and replace any that do not belong. Each accessory we checked is named in writing, along with what, if anything, changed.
Fixing the fireplace before the room remodel
A room remodel is the easiest time to repair a fireplace and the worst time to discover it needs repair. Once new flooring, paint and trim are in, reaching a damaged lintel, a cracked hearth or a failed damper means undoing some of that fresh work.
Order matters. Structural and working repairs come first, then any change to the hearth extension or trim distances, then the finish. Flooring, mantels and facing all have code or manual limits near the opening, and planning them together avoids tearing out new work.
Our technicians visit before the remodel starts, check the fireplace and give you a written scope with the limits the other trades need to know. For New Malibu homeowners, that note spells out the hearth extension size and trim distances in plain words that a contractor can follow.

Common questions about fireplace work
Will the repaired area match the rest of the fireplace?
We save and reset original tile, stone and brick wherever they are sound, and compare new material in your room's light where they are not. If no close match exists, we tell you before work begins and suggest options such as a border around the opening.
Can you fix only the part that is visibly damaged?
Often, yes, when the parts around it are sound. If the visible damage is a symptom of something else, such as a loose tile over a hearth slab that has moved, we explain why a surface-only repair might not last and price both options.
