Everything Your Fireplace Needs

Fireplace restoration covers the full system. Cracked fireboxes get rebuilt with proper refractory materials. Damaged flue liners are replaced with correctly sized stainless steel. Faulty dampers get repaired or replaced entirely.

The work includes both safety and aesthetics. Structural repairs ensure proper function and safety, while cosmetic restoration brings back the visual appeal. Many Barrington homeowners are surprised how much better their fireplace looks after professional restoration.

We also handle conversions and upgrades. Want to switch from wood to gas? Need a new insert installed? Our team handles wood, pellet, and gas systems with equal expertise. Plus, we run a retail stove store, so you get professional-grade equipment at fair prices.

How do I know if my fireplace needs restoration or replacement?

Most fireplaces can be restored rather than completely replaced, even when damage looks severe. Cracked fireboxes, damaged flue liners, and faulty dampers are all repairable with the right materials and expertise. Complete replacement is typically only necessary when the chimney structure itself is compromised, which is rare in Barrington homes. A professional inspection will tell you exactly what you’re dealing with. Our evaluation covers the firebox, flue system, damper, and chimney crown to determine whether restoration will give you a safe, functional fireplace for years to come.

What's the difference between fireplace repair and restoration?

Repair typically addresses one specific problem – fixing a cracked firebox or replacing a damper. Restoration is comprehensive work that brings the entire fireplace system back to proper function and appearance. This includes structural repairs, safety upgrades, and cosmetic improvements all done together. Restoration makes more sense for older fireplaces or ones with multiple issues because it addresses everything at once rather than fixing problems piecemeal over several years. You end up with essentially a new fireplace system while keeping the original structure and character of your home.

How long does fireplace restoration take in Barrington?

Most fireplace restoration projects take 2-4 days depending on the scope of work needed. Simple restorations involving firebox repair and flue liner replacement typically finish in 2-3 days. More complex projects that include damper replacement, crown repair, or conversion to gas systems may take 4-5 days. Weather can affect timeline for exterior chimney work, but most restoration happens inside your home. You’ll get a clear timeline upfront based on the specific work your fireplace needs, and we clean up completely each evening so your home stays livable during the process.

Can you restore fireplaces that haven't been used in years?

Yes, inactive fireplaces are often good candidates for restoration because they haven’t suffered ongoing damage from use with existing problems. However, unused fireplaces often have issues that developed over time – animals nesting in the flue, deteriorated mortar, or dampers that no longer seal properly. Our restoration process includes thorough cleaning, inspection of all components, and replacement of anything that’s degraded during the inactive period. Many Barrington homeowners are pleasantly surprised that their long-unused fireplace can be brought back to safe, reliable operation with proper restoration work.

What should I expect to pay for fireplace restoration?

Fireplace restoration costs vary based on what needs fixing, but most projects in Barrington range from moderate to significant investment depending on scope. Simple firebox repairs and flue liner replacement cost less than complete system overhauls with damper replacement and crown work. The key is getting honest assessment of what actually needs fixing versus what can wait. A free estimate breaks down exactly what work is required and why, so you can make informed decisions about your investment. In-house financing is available to help manage larger restoration projects.

Do you handle both wood and gas fireplace restoration?

Yes, we handle restoration for wood-burning, gas, and pellet fireplace systems. Each type has different requirements – gas systems need proper venting and safety controls, while wood-burning fireplaces require different flue sizing and heat-resistant materials. We also handle conversions if you want to switch from wood to gas or add a gas insert to an existing wood fireplace. Having expertise across all fuel types means you get the right solution for your specific situation and preferences, not just what one type of contractor knows how to install.
