Fireplace Repair in Queens & Long Island
Fireplace repair covers the firebox — firebrick, mortar joints and refractory panels on prefab units — plus the damper and hearth. Gaps in a firebox can let heat reach the wood framing behind it, so they shouldn't wait.
What is fireplace repair?
The firebox takes direct heat every time you light a fire. Firebrick cracks, mortar joints erode and, in prefab fireplaces, refractory panels crack and crumble.
Gaps in a firebox can let heat reach the wood framing behind it, so firebox damage is a safety issue, not just a cosmetic one. We also repair dampers, hearths and surrounds.
Warning signs
- Cracked or loose firebrick
- Missing or crumbling mortar joints in the firebox
- Cracked refractory panels in a prefab fireplace
