Fireplace Repair Services We Offer

Firebox Repair and Rebuilding

The firebox is the interior of your fireplace where the actual fire burns. Over time, heat and age can cause firebrick to crack, spall, or fall out of place, and mortar joints can deteriorate. Damaged fireboxes not only look bad but can allow excessive heat to reach nearby building materials.

Our services include replacing cracked or damaged firebrick, repointing firebox mortar joints, and rebuilding fireboxes that are beyond spot repair. Many firebox repairs fall within the lower to mid-range of fireplace repair costs, but pricing varies depending on the extent of damage and materials selected.

Smoke and Draft Issue Solutions

If your fireplace smokes when you light a fire, or if you notice soot staining around the opening, there may be problems with the chimney height, flue size, smoke chamber geometry, or house pressure. Mr. Chimney diagnoses draft issues and designs solutions that may include modifying the smoke chamber, installing or resizing a liner, adjusting damper systems, or recommending exhaust fans or other draft-assist components.

Resolving these issues makes your fireplace safer, more comfortable, and more enjoyable to use.

Damper Repair and Replacement

A properly functioning damper helps regulate draft, keep conditioned air from escaping when the fireplace is not in use, and improve combustion when it is. Rusted, stuck, or broken dampers are common in older fireplaces.

We repair traditional throat dampers when possible and install energy-efficient top-sealing dampers when replacement makes more sense. These upgrades often improve both comfort and energy efficiency while helping control downdrafts and odors.

Masonry and Surround Restoration

A fireplace is often a focal point, and deteriorating brick, stone, or tile can detract from your entire living space. Mr. Chimney repairs and restores the masonry around your fireplace opening, hearth, and surround using compatible materials that respect the original design.

This may include repointing joints around the fireplace face, replacing damaged bricks or stone, rebuilding hearth extensions, and waterproofing exterior chimney areas that impact the fireplace.
