Fireplace Repair, Monmouth CountyYour Local Fireplace Repair Crew in Monmouth County, NJ
Monmouth County has some of the oldest houses in New Jersey alongside large postwar neighborhoods, and their fireplaces wear differently. Old hearths lose mortar deep in their joints and may have been altered many times, while postwar fireboxes crack and their dampers rust. Either problem can send smoke back into the house or heat into nearby wood framing. We reline worn fireboxes with new firebrick set in refractory mortar, swap out rusted dampers and smooth the smoke chamber, so the fire burns safely and the smoke goes up.

Fireplace Repair for Monmouth County Homes
Middletown's Seabrook-Wilson House from 1663 and Marlpit Hall, a saltbox from 1686, are among the oldest buildings in the township. Fireplaces in colonial houses like these were the main heat source and were often rebuilt over time, so we check how the firebox and flue were altered before repairing them.
Holmdel's Holmes-Hendrickson House, built in the mid-1750s in the Dutch vernacular style, is on the National Register, as are Kovenhoven from 1700 and Old Kentuck from 1770. Older Dutch-style houses in the area often have wide fireboxes, and we repair them with firebrick and mortar suited to their age.
We repair fireplaces in Middletown, Holmdel, Red Bank, Freehold Township and Tinton Falls.
