What a new fireplace asks of your Rosemont North home
How the manual, the code and your house shape the plan in Rosemont North.
Factory-built and site-built masonry fireplaces
A new wood-burning fireplace is one of two kinds. A factory-built fireplace is a metal firebox made and tested as a system with its own chimney pipe, delivered to the house and framed in. A masonry fireplace is built on site from a footing up, with a firebox, hearth and chimney laid in brick, block, stone or concrete.
Both can give a real wood fire, and they follow different rules. The factory-built unit follows its listing and manual. The masonry fireplace follows Florida Residential Code chapter 10. Our free inspection starts by working out which suits the room, the structure and the budget you have in mind.
The damper in a masonry fireplace
The code requires a masonry fireplace to have a metal damper that can be operated from the room, set above the top of the opening at the throat. The damper closes the flue when the fireplace is cold and must be fully open whenever a fire burns.
Some owners prefer a damper at the top of the chimney instead, which is a separate product with its own listing. We explain both at the planning stage so the design includes the one you want.
Fireplaces in new construction and additions
In a new home or an addition, the fireplace is planned with the framing from the start. That is the easiest time to route a chimney between floors, run an outside air duct and set a hearth on proper support, and the state's alarm rule for new construction with a fireplace applies.
We work from the drawings with the builder, so the fireplace, its chimney and its inspections fit the framing schedule. Changes made on paper cost far less than changes made after the trusses are set.
Checking the draft on the first fire
The first fire in a new fireplace is also the first test of the whole system. With the damper open, smoke should rise cleanly into the top of the firebox, and the house should not pull it back into the room when a door opens or the air conditioning starts.
We watch that first fire with you, check the draft with the doors open and closed and look at the chimney top once the fire is going. If anything needs adjusting, we say so on the spot rather than after we have packed up.

What Rosemont North homeowners want to know about adding a fireplace
What people in Rosemont North ask us before a fireplace is ordered.
Is a masonry fireplace better than a factory-built one?
Neither is automatically better. Masonry is heavier, needs a footing and takes longer to build; factory-built frames in faster and lighter. We lay out the trade-offs for your house and recommend the one that suits it.
Is the inspection really free?
Yes. We look at the room, the route to the roof, the structure and any existing fireplace, then give you a written estimate with upfront pricing. Save 10% on any service booked within 72 hours after the free inspection.
