Fireplace Repair, New Castle CountyYour Local Fireplace Repair Crew in New Castle County, DE
Fireplaces in New Castle County come in two broad kinds. Older masonry fireplaces wear out inside the firebox, with cracked firebrick, burned-out joints, rusted dampers and smoke chambers that need parging. Factory-built units in newer homes have their own issues: cracked refractory panels, damaged doors and screens, and parts that should only be replaced with matching components. We repair both, rebuilding masonry fireboxes with heat-rated materials, replacing dampers, fixing hearths and handling what can be safely repaired on factory-built units.

Fireplace Repair for New Castle County Homes
La Grange and the James Stewart House in Glasgow are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Older fireplaces in houses like these are worth keeping in use, and we repair the firebox and damper without disturbing the original surround.
The Hockessin Friends Meetinghouse and the Springer Farm are on the National Register, a reminder of how far back the village goes. Fireplaces in its older homes often need firebox and damper work before regular fires, and we check the flue size against the opening as well.
We repair fireplaces in Glasgow, Hockessin, Newark, Middletown and Wilmington.
