Before your hearth is repaired in Pine Hills
From tile to base to size, this is how our family-owned crew reads a hearth in Pine Hills.
How far the extension reaches in front and to the sides
Section R1001.10 sets the size. A hearth extension reaches at least 16 inches in front of the fireplace opening and at least 8 inches beyond each side of it. Those figures apply to openings smaller than 6 square feet.
We measure your existing extension against the opening, then mark where it meets or misses the rule. A hearth that looks generous can still be short at one side, and a narrow apron often explains why floor finishes near the fireplace carry heat marks.
When the front edge of the hearth drops
A hearth extension whose front edge has sunk below the floor, or tipped away from the fireplace, has lost support somewhere. The finish often cracks along the line where the slab bends.
Our specialists check whether the drop is still moving, how far it reaches and what carries the slab. Depending on the answer, the fix may be to re-support and reset the existing extension or to remove it and build a new one on proper noncombustible support.

Hearths for see-through fireplaces
A see-through fireplace opens into two rooms, and each opening sits in front of its own floor. The protection in front of one side does nothing for the other.
We measure each opening and each extension separately and write them as two items on the estimate. Repairs often differ between the sides as well, since one side usually faces the busier room.

Protecting the room during hearth repair
Hearth work happens in the middle of a living space. Cutting tile and breaking out old setting beds makes dust, and heavy material has to cross your floors.
Our crew lays protection from the door to the fireplace, contains the work area and cleans up at the end of each visit. We tell you in advance which days will be noisy and dusty, so the household can plan around them.

Your Pine Hills hearth questions, answered
Questions we hear on hearth visits in Pine Hills, answered plainly.
Can you replace just the cracked tiles on my hearth?
Often, yes. When the base underneath is solid and a matching or suitable tile is available, we cut out the damaged tiles and set new ones. We check the base first, because a tile over a moving base will crack again.
Do you fix the gap between the fireplace and the hearth?
Yes. We clean out the seam and reseal it with a suitable noncombustible material. If the gap keeps opening, we look at the support under the hearth as well.
