Firebox Mortar Repair in North New Jersey

The firebox is the part of the fireplace that holds the fire, and it takes a beating. Over time the mortar between the firebricks cracks and crumbles from the heat. Left alone, those gaps let heat reach materials that should never get hot.

We remove the loose, failing mortar and reseal every joint with high heat mortar rated for the job, so your firebox is safe and solid again.

Pricing: every job is different, so we give you a free written quote after we inspect. You approve the price before any work begins, with no surprises.
