Fireplace Repair, Ocean CountyFireplace Repairs in Ocean County, NJ
Ocean County fireplaces range from old resort-era hearths in Lakewood to the brick fireplaces in postwar ranches and split-levels. Many get used only a few times a year, and that is when problems surprise people. Dampers rust shut in the damp shore air, firebrick cracks and mortar falls out of the firebox. Our crew repairs fireboxes, replaces dampers, fixes smoke problems and checks the flue above, so the fireplace is ready on the nights you actually want a fire.

Fireplace Repair for Ocean County Homes
Once known as Bergen Iron Works and then Bricksburg, Lakewood was renamed in 1880 and became a fashionable winter resort. Older homes from those years may have fireplaces that were rebuilt or closed off over time, and a careful look at the firebox and damper comes before any repair.
George Jay Gould's 1896 estate in Lakewood is now Georgian Court University, and a property John D. Rockefeller bought in 1902 is now Ocean County Park. Large old houses often have large fireplaces, and a big firebox needs a properly sized flue and damper to draw without smoking.
We repair fireplaces in Lakewood, Toms River, Jackson, Brick and Point Pleasant.
