What You Can Count On
Hearth repair fixes the noncombustible floor in front of the fireplace that catches sparks and embers. Typical jobs are resetting loose tile or stone and filling cracks and gaps. A broken hearth is replaced. In Spring Hill homes we also check that the hearth extension is as large as the code requires.
What the Hearth Is For
The hearth extension is the noncombustible surface in front of the firebox. It catches sparks, rolling logs and embers that drop when the doors or screen open. The Florida Building Code, Residential, section R1001, and NFPA 211 set how far it must extend in front and to the sides of the opening, which depends on the opening's size.
A fireplace hearth repair restores that protection. Gaps or cracked tile let embers reach the wood subfloor under the hearth.
Hearth Repair Methods
Hearth tile repair and fireplace tile repair reset loose tiles on a sound base with a heat-tolerant setting material and grout. Cracked hearth repair on stone or concrete fills the crack or replaces the broken piece. Hearth extension repair rebuilds a short or broken extension to the size the opening needs.
Fireplace hearth replacement is the answer when the base itself has failed or the hearth must grow. We match the stone, brick or tile to the room as closely as we can.

What Affects the Price
Signs It Is Time
The hearth is the noncombustible floor in front of the firebox that catches sparks and rolling embers. Cracks, loose tiles and gaps let embers reach the subfloor, and many older hearths are smaller than the code calls for. Our crew repairs or replaces the hearth surface and checks its size against the code.
Questions and Answers
How far must a hearth extend in front of a fireplace?
For an opening under 6 square feet, the hearth extension runs 16 inches in front and 8 inches to each side. Larger openings need 20 inches in front and 12 inches to each side. Those sizes come from the Florida Building Code, Residential, section R1001, and NFPA 211.
Can a cracked hearth be repaired?
A cracked hearth can often be repaired by filling the crack or replacing the broken piece. If the base under it has failed or moved, the hearth is lifted and rebuilt on a sound, noncombustible bed. Either way, gaps where embers could fall through are closed.
Can you have a fireplace with no hearth?
A wood-burning fireplace needs a noncombustible hearth extension in front of it, sized by the code to the opening. Some factory-built and gas units are listed for installation without one, or with a smaller one, and in that case the maker's instructions and the listing decide what is allowed in front of the firebox.
Can hearth tiles be replaced?
Loose or cracked hearth tiles can be lifted and replaced on a sound base with a heat-tolerant setting material. Finding a matching tile is the hard part. If the tile is no longer made, a new tile for the whole hearth may look better than a patch.
