Chipped edges from dropped logs

The front edge of a hearth takes the impact when a log slips off the grate or an armload of wood lands too hard. Tile chips there first, and a chipped edge lets water and cleaning products into the bed. On a stone slab, a chip can be filled and shaped. Tile is replaced unit by unit.

For chipped edges on a hearth in Nocatee, we price the individual repairs and tell you if an edge profile or a tougher tile would take the knocks better. The free inspection comes with a written price.

In the 2020 Census, Nocatee counted 22,503 residents. Nocatee sits a short way inland.

The bed cures before grout and fire, and we show you the finished edge and where the clear zone ends.

Close to the coast in Nocatee

Nocatee sits near the coast without being on it. Chlorides in marine air still reach steel parts there, so the cast-iron ash dump frame, the cleanout door and screen frames get a close look on a hearth job.

Replacement hardware for a hearth in Nocatee is chosen with corrosion in mind, and rust stains on the hearth are traced to their source before the surface is cleaned.

Where flooring and trim may meet the hearth

Combustible trim and flooring edges may touch the hearth extension, but only far enough from the fire. R1001.11 allows sheathing and trim edges to butt against the extension once they are 12 inches or more away from the firebox lining. Inside that distance, the material has to be noncombustible.

A wood floor that butts against the front edge of a full-size extension is normally past that distance. A strip of wood along the side of a narrow extension may not be. We measure those distances on every hearth job and note them on the ticket, so a flooring change later does not undo them.

Steel in the slab and the concrete over it

Hearths and extensions are built reinforced. Reinforcement helps only while it stays sound, and it stays sound while enough concrete covers it and water stays out. Thin cover near the top surface lets moisture reach the steel, and the rust that forms pushes the concrete off in flakes and pieces.

A patch over rusted steel fails from underneath, so the steel is exposed and cleaned or the slab is recast. We check cover depth where a crack lets us see it and write the finding down. A slab we pour gets its reinforcement placed with concrete cover on every side.

Level, height and the trip edge

A rebuilt extension has to meet the firebox floor, the finished floor and any doors at workable heights. A hearth set a little proud of the floor makes a trip edge. One set too high can foul glass doors or a screen. We check all three heights before choosing the slab thickness and the tile.

Where the numbers do not work together, the options are a raised hearth, a flush one with the slab set lower, or a small bevel at the front. We draw the section on the ticket, because a quarter inch at the front edge decides how the finished hearth feels underfoot.

What we check on a hearth in Nocatee before pricing

Before your hearth is lifted

Do you work on hearths for factory-built fireplaces?

Yes. We follow the unit's listing and manual for the pad size and material, and use listed products where the maker calls for them. Have the model number ready when you call if you can find it.

Will you match my stone or tile?

We look for the closest available match first and tell you plainly how close it is. If no match exists, we suggest a salvage spot or a deliberate contrast, and you choose before anything is removed.
