What You Can Count On
Fireplace restoration brings an old or long-unused fireplace back into safe use and good looks. Restoration work cleans and repairs the brick or stone face, relines or repairs the firebox, fixes the damper and hearth, and confirms the flue is sound. Our Spring Hill crew often starts with a fireplace nobody has lit in years.
What Restoration Covers
Old fireplace restoration works through the whole fireplace, not only the face. We clean soot and stains from the brick or stone, repoint the face where joints are worn, repair or reline the firebox, free or replace the damper, and reset the hearth. Brick fireplace restoration also deals with old paint where the owner wants the brick back.
Restore old fireplace work always ends with the flue, because a beautiful fireplace with a cracked or blocked flue is not safe to use.
Antique and Painted Fireplaces
Antique fireplace restoration keeps original features where they are sound, from cast iron surrounds to old brick, and repairs rather than replaces wherever possible. Fireplace refurbishing of a painted face starts with a test patch, since some paint removal methods can harm soft brick.

What Affects the Price
Signs It Is Time
An old fireplace that has sat unused for years usually needs more than a sweep before it is safe to light. Our crew restores the whole fireplace: cleans the brick face, repairs or relines the firebox, fixes the damper and hearth, and checks the flue, so the fireplace works as well as it looks.
Questions and Answers
Can an old fireplace be restored?
Most old fireplaces can be restored: the face cleaned and repointed, the firebox repaired or relined, the damper freed or replaced and the hearth reset. The flue is inspected before use. A fireplace that has not been lit in years should never be used until that check is done.
How do you clean a soot-stained brick fireplace?
Start by brushing loose soot off the face, then wash the brick with a masonry-safe cleaner and a stiff brush. Test any cleaner on a hidden spot first. Avoid harsh acids on soft or old brick, which can etch the face.
Can a painted brick fireplace be restored?
Paint can be removed from a brick fireplace with a stripping product suited to masonry, tested first on a small area. Old, soft brick can be damaged by aggressive methods, so the approach is chosen carefully. Some owners prefer a fresh coat of heat-tolerant paint instead.
Is it safe to use a fireplace that has not been used in years?
Not until it has been checked. Nests, debris, cracked flue tiles and a rusted damper are common in a fireplace left idle for years. An inspection and a sweep first make the first fire safe. The check also shows whether the firebox and hearth need repair before you light it.
