Fireplace Renovation Process

Here's Exactly What Happens

We start with a thorough inspection of your existing fireplace and chimney system. This tells us what’s salvageable, what needs replacing, and what safety issues need addressing before any restoration work begins.

Next, we walk you through exactly what needs to be done and provide a detailed estimate. No surprises, no hidden costs – just straight talk about what your fireplace needs and what it’s going to cost to get it working properly again.

The restoration process varies depending on your specific situation, but typically involves repairing or rebuilding damaged components, updating safety features to current codes, and refinishing visible elements to match your home’s style. We handle everything from structural repairs to final aesthetic touches.

You’ll get regular updates throughout the project, and we don’t consider the job finished until you’re completely satisfied with how your restored fireplace looks and functions.

How long does a typical fireplace restoration take to complete?

Most fireplace restoration projects take between 3-7 days depending on the extent of work needed. Simple repairs and refinishing might be completed in 2-3 days, while complete rebuilds or major structural work can take up to two weeks. We’ll give you a realistic timeline during the estimate process and keep you updated if anything changes. Weather can affect chimney work, so we build some flexibility into our scheduling. The key is doing the work right rather than rushing through it, because a properly restored fireplace should last for decades without major issues.
Absolutely, and this is actually one of our most common projects. Fireplaces that have been sitting unused often need comprehensive restoration to be safe and functional again. We start with a thorough inspection to identify all the issues – blocked chimneys, damaged liners, deteriorated fireboxes, and safety concerns that developed over time. Many older fireplaces can be fully restored to working condition, though some benefit from modern efficiency upgrades like stove inserts. The inspection will tell us exactly what’s needed to bring your fireplace back to life safely.
Fireplace repair typically addresses specific problems – fixing a damaged damper, repairing cracks in the firebox, or replacing a broken screen. Restoration is more comprehensive and focuses on bringing the entire fireplace system back to like-new condition, both functionally and aesthetically. Restoration might include rebuilding the firebox, installing new liners, updating safety features, refinishing the surround, and ensuring everything meets current codes. If your fireplace has multiple issues or hasn’t been properly maintained, restoration is usually more cost-effective than doing separate repairs over time.
Yes, we handle the complete restoration from structural repairs to final appearance. Our team includes both the technical expertise for chimney and fireplace mechanics and the craftsmanship skills for aesthetic work like stonework, tile, and finishing. This means you work with one company throughout the entire project instead of coordinating between different contractors. We can match existing materials and styles or help you update the look entirely. Having both skill sets in-house also means better quality control and faster project completion.
A professional inspection is the only way to know for sure, which is why we provide free estimates. Generally, if the basic structure is sound and the chimney foundation is solid, restoration is possible and more cost-effective than complete replacement. We look at the condition of the firebox, chimney liner, damper system, and surrounding materials. Even fireplaces with significant damage can often be restored if the underlying structure is good. During our inspection, we’ll explain what we find and give you honest recommendations about whether restoration makes sense for your situation.
Fireplace restoration costs vary significantly based on the scope of work needed. Basic restoration with cosmetic improvements might start around $2,000-4,000, while comprehensive restoration involving structural work, new liners, and complete refinishing can range from $5,000-15,000 or more. We provide detailed written estimates that break down exactly what work is included and what it costs. We also offer in-house financing for larger projects. The investment usually pays for itself through increased home value, energy efficiency, and years of reliable use without ongoing repair costs.
