Your Local Pros for Fireplace Repair in Somerset County, NJ

Fireplaces across Somerset County range from huge colonial hearths to modest suburban fireboxes, and each wears out in its own way. Firebrick cracks and loosens, firebox joints open, dampers rust in place and smoke chambers crumble. Any of those can push smoke into the room or let heat reach the framing. Our crew repairs and rebuilds fireboxes with firebrick and refractory mortar, installs new dampers, and parges smoke chambers smooth, so a fireplace that has been sitting can be used again with confidence.

Fireplace Repair for Somerset County Homes

Parts of the Vanderveer-Knox House in Bedminster date to the 1770s, and General Henry Knox used it. Houses of that age often have big fireplaces that have been rebuilt or patched more than once, and we look closely at the hidden parts before suggesting repairs.

Since World War II, housing developments have spread over much of Montgomery Township's old farmland. Fireplaces in those homes are now decades old, and worn dampers and cracked firebrick are the repairs we make most there.

We repair fireplaces in Bedminster, Montgomery Township, Hillsborough, Bernards Township and Warren Township.

When to Call Us

  • Cracked or missing firebrick
  • A damper that will not open or close
  • Smoke coming into the room
  • Gaps in the firebox mortar

Fireplace Repair Questions in Somerset County

Our colonial fireplace is very large and drafts poorly. Can it be fixed?
Often. Big old fireplaces sometimes have an opening too large for the flue. Raising the hearth, adding a smoke guard across the top of the opening, or a top-sealing damper can improve the draft without changing the character of the fireplace.
What is a smoke chamber and why does it matter?
It is the sloped space between the damper and the flue. If it is rough, stepped or cracked, smoke swirls instead of rising and creosote collects there. Parging it smooth helps the fireplace draw and lowers the fire risk.
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.
