The listing is the backbone of the plan
For a factory-built fireplace, the listing is not paperwork in the box; it is the plan. The unit was tested with a specific chimney, specific firestops, a specific cap and specific clearances, and the building code requires it to be installed and kept that way. For each Brooklyn installation, each of those parts is ordered by the model the manual names, and any substitution the manual does not allow is simply not made. When a field condition does not fit the manual, the answer is a different route or a different unit, and never a workaround. Want a fireplace in a room of your Brooklyn home that never had one? Before anything is chosen, we check the route; call (904) 920-5495.
The direct distance from Jacksonville to Brooklyn is about 6 miles. Brooklyn is a neighborhood within the City of Jacksonville.

How It Works
Walk it, permit it, build it, hand it over
-
Route walked, hearth to roof
The room, the attic and the roof are checked for a clear chimney path before any unit is chosen.
-
Unit and chimney system chosen
A listed factory-built system from one maker, or a masonry fireplace on its own footing.
-
Framed, built and inspected
Framing and clearances follow the manual or the code, and the inspector sees them before the walls close.
-
Hearth, air supply and handover
The hearth extension and outside air go in, and we explain how to run the break-in fires.

Decorative tops need their own listing
A plain metal cap on a factory-built chimney can look out of place, and decorative shrouds are sold to dress it up. The code allows a shroud at the top of a factory-built chimney only when the shroud is listed and labeled for that specific chimney system and installed to the maker's instructions. A shroud that is not listed can trap heat or change the draft the system was tested with.
If you want a finished look at the top, we price a shroud from the chimney maker's list, or a chase finish that keeps the listed cap exposed. Anything else stays off the top.
The footing under a masonry fireplace
The code starts a masonry fireplace with a footing of concrete or solid masonry a foot thick at minimum and projecting 6 inches or more past the fireplace on all sides. This footing carries the firebox, the smoke chamber and the chimney above it, which is a great deal of weight on a small area.
In an existing house, it means cutting through the slab or the floor structure and excavating before any masonry is laid. The footing is its own stage, with its own inspection when the permit calls for one. It is also the part no one sees afterward.
A spark arrestor sized to the flue
Where a masonry chimney has a spark arrestor, the code sets its size and mesh. Its net free area is at least four times the area of the flue outlet it covers. The screen is heat and corrosion resistant, equal to 19-gage galvanized or 24-gage stainless steel, with openings that stop a 3/8-inch sphere but pass a 1/2-inch one. It also has to be reachable for cleaning.
On a factory-built chimney, the listed cap does this job, and it is the cap from the chimney maker's list. Mesh that clogs with soot restricts the draft, so the screen gets checked at each yearly inspection.

FAQ
New fireplace questions from Brooklyn
How much floor space does the hearth take?
For a masonry fireplace, the extension reaches 16 inches out from the opening, with 8 more on each side, and grows for openings of 6 square feet or larger. A factory-built unit follows its listing. The plan draws it to size.
Is a new fireplace covered by the new-customer offer?
It is. A new installation counts toward 10% off your first service when it is your first job with us.
