Other trades a new fireplace can need

Several trades besides ours can have a part in a fireplace installation. The roof covering around the chimney may need a roofer. A blower or an outlet near the hearth needs an electrician. Drywall and paint around the new opening are listed too, with who does them.

Each of these is named for the Doctors Inlet job with who does it and in what order, so the roofer is not waiting on the chimney and the drywall does not go up before the inspection. One written schedule covers all of them, so each trade knows its day. Want a fireplace in a room of your Doctors Inlet home that never had one? Before anything is chosen, we check the route; call (904) 920-5495.

By straight-line distance, Doctors Inlet is more than about six miles from the coast. About 16 miles, as the crow flies, separate Doctors Inlet from Jacksonville.

How It Works

How fireplace installation runs

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.

Local Conditions

Permits and inspections in Doctors Inlet

A new fireplace needs a permit under the Florida Building Code, and the local building department inspects it with the framing still open.

We put the permit and inspections on the schedule for your Doctors Inlet project and leave the walls open until they pass.

Building an outside chase

An outside chase is a framed box on the exterior wall that carries a factory-built chimney up past the roof edge. It is framed and sheathed like an exterior wall, finished to match the house, and topped with a chase cover that the listed termination cap passes through. The manual says how the chase walls are insulated and sealed and what stays clear around the pipe.

A chase also needs its own support at the base, whether that is a foundation or framing tied into the house, sized for the chimney and the finish it carries. The chase cover itself is sloped or cross-broken so water runs off.

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.

Old chimney pipe, new fireplace

Replacing a factory-built fireplace raises one question before any other: can the existing chimney stay? The answer is in the new unit's manual. Some makers list chimney systems that match their older models, and some list only their current pipe.

If the manual does not name the existing pipe, it comes out with the old unit, including the firestops and the cap, and the new system goes in complete. We do not pair a new fireplace with pipe it was not tested with. The manual's page on chimney components is the document we read for this, and we cite it.

FAQ

Before any wall is opened

Who patches the roof around a new chimney?

The estimate names who does it. The chimney parts at the roof come from the chimney maker's list, and the roof covering around them may be handled by a roofer, depending on the roof.

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.
