Fireplace installation, explained by our South Apopka team
Three parts of the job our fireplace specialists walk through with South Apopka homeowners.
Weather protection for the chase top and cap
Detailed instructions for the chase top, storm collar and termination cap come packed with those parts. To protect against corrosion on parts exposed to weather, the E-series manual recommends painting the chase top and termination cap with a rust-resistant paint.
We follow the packed instructions for each part, including the air space between the chimney and the enclosure, and we tell you at handover which parts are exposed and what their upkeep looks like over the years.
Handling ashes safely
Ashes can hold live coals for days after a fire looks dead. They go into a metal can with a snug lid, placed on a noncombustible surface far from the house and from anything that burns, and the lid stays on until the last ember is cold.
We point out a safe spot for that container before we leave. A paper bag, a plastic bin or a corner of the garage is never the place, however cold the ashes feel.
How a masonry fireplace build is paced
A masonry fireplace rises course by course, with mortar setting between stages and inspections at the points the building department asks for. The footing, the firebox, the smoke chamber and the chimney each have their own moment.
We give you a realistic sequence before the work begins, including when the room is out of use and when the roof is open. A good build is not rushed, and we would rather tell you that up front.
A raised hearth or a flush hearth
The hearth extension in front of a new fireplace can sit flush with the floor or be raised as a step. Either way it has to meet the manual's size and material rules for your model, and it should read clearly as a hearth rather than a patch of floor that somebody might cover with a rug.
A raised hearth gives a seat and a clear edge, while a flush hearth keeps the floor open. We help you choose based on the room, the flooring and how people walk past, then build it to the manual.

Fireplace installation questions we answer in South Apopka
Undecided? These help, and the fireplace visit in South Apopka costs nothing.
How tall will the chimney be?
The code wants 3 feet or more above the roof penetration, and the top must also sit 2 feet higher than whatever part of the house is within 10 feet. We measure your roof around the planned spot and put the resulting height in the estimate.
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.
