Everything Your Fireplace Restoration Needs

Fireplace restoration covers everything from minor repairs to complete reconstruction. Firebox rebuilding, damper replacement, chimney liner installation, masonry repair, and structural work when needed.

Many East Greenwich homes have fireplaces that haven’t been properly maintained for years. Our restoration process addresses safety issues first, then functionality, then appearance. You get a fireplace that’s safe to use and looks great in your home.

Our service includes wood, pellet, and gas fireplace expertise. Whether you want to restore an original wood-burning fireplace or convert to a more convenient gas system, our restoration covers all options. Plus, we have an on-site retail stove store for any additional equipment you might want.

How long does a typical fireplace restoration take to complete?

Most fireplace restorations take 2-5 days depending on the scope of work needed. Simple repairs like damper replacement or minor masonry work usually finish in 1-2 days. Complete firebox rebuilds or extensive chimney work can take up to a week. The timeline depends on what the initial inspection reveals and whether any custom masonry work is required. You’ll get a clear timeframe upfront so you can plan accordingly, and we schedule the work to minimize disruption to your daily routine.

What's the difference between fireplace repair and complete restoration?

Fireplace repair addresses specific problems like a broken damper, cracked firebox, or damaged flue liner. Restoration is more comprehensive – it brings the entire fireplace system back to proper working condition. Restoration might include rebuilding the firebox, replacing the damper, installing a new liner, repairing masonry, and updating safety features. If your fireplace has multiple issues or hasn’t been used safely in years, restoration is usually the right approach. It costs more upfront but gives you a fireplace system that works reliably for decades.

Can you restore fireplaces in historic East Greenwich homes?

Yes, historic fireplace restoration is one of our specialties. Many East Greenwich homes date back to the colonial and Victorian eras, and their fireplaces require specific expertise to restore properly. Our goal is maintaining the historical character while bringing safety and functionality up to modern standards. This often involves custom masonry work, period-appropriate materials, and techniques that preserve the original appearance. Our CSI certification includes training on historic fireplace systems, so you’re working with technicians who understand both the historical aspects and current safety requirements.

How much does fireplace restoration typically cost?

Fireplace restoration costs vary widely based on what needs to be done. Minor repairs might run $500-1500, while complete restoration can range from $3000-8000 or more for extensive work. The cost depends on firebox condition, chimney liner needs, masonry repairs, and any structural issues. Every situation is different, which is why we provide free estimates after a thorough inspection. We offer in-house financing to help manage larger restoration projects. The investment usually pays for itself through increased home value and years of reliable fireplace use.

Is it safe to use my fireplace before restoration?

Don’t use a fireplace that needs restoration until it’s been properly inspected and repaired. Common problems like damaged flue liners, broken dampers, or cracked fireboxes can create serious safety hazards including carbon monoxide exposure and house fires. Even if a fireplace looks okay, hidden issues in the chimney or flue system can be dangerous. The smart approach is getting a professional inspection first, then using the fireplace only after any necessary restoration work is completed. Your family’s safety isn’t worth the risk of using a questionable fireplace.

Do you provide warranties on fireplace restoration work?

Yes, our restoration work comes with warranties that vary based on the specific services performed. Masonry work, liner installations, and major repairs typically include multi-year warranties on both materials and workmanship. The exact warranty terms depend on what’s being restored and which materials are used. You’ll get warranty details in writing before any work begins, so you know exactly what’s covered. As CSI-certified technicians, we stand behind our work because we’re trained to do restoration properly the first time. Quality workmanship and professional warranties give you confidence in the investment.
