Fireplace Repair, Hunterdon CountyYour Local Fireplace Repair Team for Hunterdon County, NJ
Many Hunterdon County houses were built when the fireplace was the heating system, and their hearths have seen centuries of use and repair. Others have modern fireplaces that get a few fires each winter. Either kind can develop cracked firebrick, open joints, a rusted damper or a rough smoke chamber that pushes smoke into the room. Our crew repairs fireboxes with firebrick and refractory mortar, fits new dampers, parges smoke chambers, and keeps the character of an old fireplace while making it safe to use.

Fireplace Repair for Hunterdon County Homes
George Washington's troops camped twice at the Holcombe House in Lambertville, built in 1744. Fireplaces in houses of that age were often enlarged, narrowed or closed over the years, so we work out how a fireplace was built before deciding how to repair it.
The Oldwick Historic District in Tewksbury was added to the National Register in 1988 with 127 contributing buildings. Fireplaces in those older homes often have original masonry, and we repair them with materials that suit the period.
We repair fireplaces in Lambertville, Tewksbury, Flemington, Clinton and Frenchtown.
