Inside a fireplace restoration in Pineloch
Practical points from the technicians who restore fireplaces in Pineloch.
Firebox shape and depth
The Florida Building Code sets a minimum depth of 20 inches for the firebox of a masonry fireplace, with a separate rule for Rumford designs. Proportions matter, since a shallow firebox with a wide opening is more likely to push smoke out toward the room.
When we restore an existing firebox, we measure it and tell you what its shape means for burning wood. Any section that has to be rebuilt is laid out to current code. A working firebox is never reshaped without a reason we can explain.
Testing the cleaning method first
Some cleaners react with minerals in brick and create new stains. Industry guidance is to try any cleaning method on a small, out-of-sight area before treating the whole face.
On a restoration in Pineloch, we pick a spot low on the face or beside a side wall, clean it and let it dry before judging the result. You look at the test with us, so the finished face matches what you expected.
Parts that belong to the listing
A factory-built fireplace is tested as a whole system under UL 127, and the Florida Building Code holds its installation to the terms of that listing. Replacement screens, panels, grates and chimney parts should come from the maker's parts list for that model.
When we restore a factory-built unit in Pineloch, the estimate names each part by the maker's description. If a part is no longer available, you hear that directly, along with whether the unit can still return to safe use without it.
Protecting the room during the work
Fireplace restoration happens in the middle of a lived-in room. Floors and nearby furniture are covered, the hearth is protected and dust control is set up before any mortar is cut or brick is cleaned.
At the end of each day the room is left tidy, and at the end of the job it is cleaned before we go. Our crew in Pineloch treats your living room the way we would want ours treated.

What Pineloch homeowners ask about old fireplaces
Short answers from the technicians who restore fireplaces in Pineloch.
Can you replace just a few cracked firebricks?
Yes. Individual firebricks can be cut out and replaced with brick that meets the code and fits the existing lining, laid in refractory mortar. Only the bricks that need it are replaced.
Will you pressure wash my fireplace?
No. Pressure washing and abrasive blasting can permanently damage brick and mortar joints, and indoors they soak the wall and floor. Fireplace faces are cleaned by hand with the mildest method that works.
