Dark marks on the wall above the fireplace
Darkened paint or drywall above a factory-built fireplace can come from smoke spilling at the opening, or from heat escaping through a gap in the unit's outer casing or hood. The first is a draft problem. The second is a clearance problem, and the unit stays out of service until it is found.
We look at both on a fireplace in Arlington, beginning at the opening and working up behind the hood where access allows. The estimate says which one you have and what fixes it.
Arlington lies within Duval County. Arlington does not reach the coast.

Screens and louvers on an inland unit in Arlington
In Arlington, inland, the metal of a spark screen and its louvers wears from heat and use rather than from salt air. Rods bend, mesh tears and louvers loosen on their clips.
We replace worn screen and louver parts in Arlington with the maker's pieces for your model.
10% off any service booked within 72 hours of inspection
Refractory panels, a damper or the pipe run, each repair comes 10% off.
A cap listed for the chimney it sits on
The cap on top of a metal chimney is not a generic rain cap. It is part of the chimney system, listed with it, and the manual names the cap models that may be used. R1005.2 also keeps decorative shrouds off factory-built chimneys unless they are listed for that chimney system.
When a cap has rusted, blown off or clogged, we replace it with a cap listed for that chimney. A decorative shroud added later without a listing is noted as its own item, with what removing it involves, so you can see the reason and the cost before deciding.
The collar and storm collar at the chase top
On a chimney that runs inside a framed chase, the chase top sheds water around the pipe through a raised collar, and a storm collar sits on the pipe above it to cover the gap. One installation manual leaves a small gap between pipe and collar and tells installers not to close that gap with caulk.
A storm collar that slid down, or a collar sealed tight to the pipe, lets water in or binds the pipe. We reset those details as the manual for your chimney shows and check the top itself for slope and rust. Chase top work is written as its own line.
Doors that belong to the listing
R1004.5 keeps gasketed doors off factory-built fireplaces unless the fireplace is listed for them. Doors change how air reaches the fire and how heat builds in the box, so makers test their own door kits with the unit. A universal door bolted to the opening is not part of that test.
Where the maker offers a listed door for your model, we can order and fit it. Where it does not, the answer is a screen, and we say so on the estimate rather than fitting a door that takes the unit outside its listing.
Label, panels, pipe and cap, in writing
- Termination cap replaced with a model listed for the chimney
- Storm collar and chase top collar reset to the manual
- Unlisted doors, shrouds or add-ons identified as separate items
- Mantel and facing measured against the manual's clearance chart
Prefab fireplace questions from Arlington
Could a mason line my metal fireplace with firebrick?
Not without taking it out of its listing. Replacement panels are the ones the maker lists for your model, ordered by number.
Does your satisfaction guarantee cover prefab work in Arlington?
Yes. A part we installed that fails to do the job we described is ours to correct, and we come back to correct it.
