Complete Fireplace Restoration Services

Everything Your Fireplace Needs

Fireplace restoration covers everything from minor repairs to complete rebuilds. We handle firebox reconstruction, damper replacement, chimney liner installation, and safety system upgrades. Whether you have a traditional wood-burning fireplace, gas logs, or want to convert between fuel types, we have the expertise.

New Shoreham’s seasonal homes often need special attention after periods of non-use. We understand how salt air affects metal components and how to address moisture issues that develop over time. Our restoration work accounts for these local conditions.

We also maintain a retail stove store, so if your restoration project involves adding or replacing fireplace inserts, gas logs, or converting to a more efficient system, we can handle the entire project from start to finish.

How long does fireplace restoration typically take in New Shoreham?

Most fireplace restoration projects take 2-5 days depending on the scope of work needed. Simple repairs like damper replacement or minor firebox work might be completed in a day or two. More extensive restoration involving firebox reconstruction or chimney liner installation typically takes 3-5 days. We’ll give you a realistic timeline during the estimate process and keep you updated if weather or unexpected issues affect the schedule. Block Island’s location means we plan projects carefully around weather conditions and ferry schedules to ensure we have all materials on-site before starting.

What's included in a complete fireplace restoration service?

Complete fireplace restoration addresses all components that affect safety and performance. This includes firebox repair or reconstruction, damper inspection and replacement if needed, chimney liner evaluation, flue cleaning, and safety system checks. We also examine the exterior chimney structure, cap, and crown condition. Many restorations include upgrading ventilation systems to current safety standards. You’ll receive a detailed breakdown of what your specific fireplace needs during the inspection process. We don’t do partial fixes that leave underlying problems – when we restore a fireplace, we address everything that needs attention for long-term reliability.

Can you restore fireplaces in older New Shoreham homes?

Yes, we specialize in restoring fireplaces in older homes throughout New Shoreham and Block Island. Many of these properties have unique fireplace designs and construction methods that require specialized knowledge. We’re experienced with historical fireplace systems and understand how to upgrade them for modern safety standards while preserving their original character. Older fireplaces often need firebox reconstruction, new dampers, and updated ventilation systems. We work carefully to maintain the aesthetic appeal while ensuring everything meets current safety codes. Our CSI certification includes training on historical fireplace systems and proper restoration techniques.

How do I know if my fireplace needs restoration or just cleaning?

Several signs indicate your fireplace needs restoration beyond basic cleaning. If you notice white staining on the exterior chimney, water damage around the fireplace, rust on the damper or firebox, cracks in the firebox walls, or smoke entering your room instead of going up the chimney, you likely need restoration work. A musty smell when the fireplace isn’t in use or visible deterioration of mortar joints also suggests structural issues. During our free inspection, we’ll show you exactly what we find and explain whether cleaning will solve the problem or if restoration work is needed for safe operation.

Do you offer financing for larger fireplace restoration projects?

Yes, we provide in-house financing options for fireplace restoration projects. We understand that complete fireplace restoration can be a significant investment, especially for older homes that need extensive work. Our financing options let you get the restoration work done now while spreading the cost over manageable payments. We’ll discuss financing terms during the estimate process so you can make an informed decision about your fireplace restoration. This financing is handled directly through our company, which often provides more flexibility than traditional lending options for home improvement projects.

What makes your fireplace restoration different from other contractors?

Our CSI certification and twenty-plus years of experience with the same team sets us apart from general contractors who occasionally work on fireplaces. We understand fireplace systems completely – not just the basics. Our quality control standards are higher because we specialize in this work rather than treating it as a side service. We also maintain a retail stove store, so we can provide complete solutions if your restoration involves upgrading to more efficient systems. Most importantly, we’ve been serving New Shoreham and Block Island for decades, so we understand the specific challenges coastal properties face and how to address them properly.
