Fireplace Repair, PhiladelphiaYour Local Fireplace Repair Team in Philadelphia, PA
Many Philadelphia fireplaces were bricked up or closed with a board decades ago, and homeowners now want them working again. Others never stopped burning but have cracked firebrick, a rusted damper or a smoke chamber that leaks smoke into the room. Before any fireplace goes back into service, we check that the flue is clear, sized right and not shared with a boiler. Then we rebuild the firebox, replace the damper or add a top-sealing one, parge the smoke chamber and repair the hearth.

Fireplace Repair for Philadelphia Homes
Wealthy Philadelphians once built mansions and vacation homes in Fox Chase and reached the city by railroad. Large houses like those often have several fireplaces, and the ones used least are usually the ones with the worst firebox and damper wear.
Chestnut Hill has a wide mix of 19th and early 20th century houses, many designed by leading Philadelphia architects. Original fireplace surrounds in those homes are worth keeping, so we repair the firebox and damper behind them without disturbing the stone or tile in front.
We repair fireplaces in Chestnut Hill, Fox Chase, East Falls, Society Hill and Mount Airy.
