Fireplace Repair in Mercer County, NJ from Your Local Crew

Fireplaces in Mercer County homes have often outlived several owners and a few renovations, and they do not always come through in good shape. Cracked firebrick, open joints, rusted dampers and rough smoke chambers are common, and any of them can send smoke into the room or heat toward the framing. Our crew rebuilds worn fireboxes, fits new dampers and parges smoke chambers smooth, keeping the look of an older fireplace while making it safe and efficient.

Open 24 hours, Sunday to Friday. Free written estimates.

Fireplace Repair for Mercer County Homes

The Trenton City Museum occupies Ellarslie Mansion, an Italianate house from 1848. Houses of that era in and around Trenton often have fireplaces with original fireboxes, which we repair with materials that suit their age.

William Green's farmhouse from 1717 still stands on the campus of The College of New Jersey in Ewing. Fireplaces in early houses like it were built for daily use, and the ones in older homes nearby often need firebox and damper work before regular fires.

We repair fireplaces in Trenton, Ewing, Hamilton Township, Princeton and Lawrence Township.

Fireplace Repair Questions in Mercer County

Our Victorian fireplace has a small opening that smokes. Can it be fixed?
Victorian fireplaces were often built for coal and have shallow fireboxes, which can smoke with wood. A metal smoke guard along the top edge of the opening, or a cap that improves the draft, may help, and we look at what suits yours.
Is it safe to burn wood in a fireplace that has not been used for years?
Not until it has been inspected. Years of disuse can leave nests in the flue, a stuck damper or cracked firebrick. We check it all, sweep it, and tell you what it needs.
Why does my fireplace smoke?
A closed or broken damper, a cold flue, a blocked flue or a firebox that is too big for the flue can all cause it. We find which one.
