Fireplace Repair
Any fireplace, any failure — diagnosed first, then fixed with the right parts. If it lights sometimes, clicks without lighting, or quits mid-evening, we trace the fault to the part — not the guess.

Install & Replace
Fireplace Installation
A new gas fireplace or an outdoor fire feature, done right: sizing, venting, gas and electric runs, finishing — one crew, start to first fire. In Lauderdale-by-the-Sea that often means a gas insert in an existing firebox, or a fire feature out by the pool.

A fireplace in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea is not fighting winter — it is fighting humidity, salt air, storms and long months of sitting unused. This is what we actually find here, and what we check for on every visit.
Hurricane season blows caps off, drives rain sideways into open flues and drops debris where it does not belong. After a storm is the right time for an inspection — not the first cool night, with a blocked flue.
Florida downpours find every weak cap and cracked crown. Water in the firebox rusts the damper, stains the masonry and can push smoke into the room on the next fire. We trace the entry point and seal it properly.
Fireplaces here sit ignored until the first cool snap — which is exactly when neglected units fail and every company in Broward County books up. A service visit in the fall beats a repair call in the rush.
Patio fireplaces and fire pits live outside in the rain season: burners pit, igniters corrode, and valves stiffen. Outdoor units here need service more often than indoor ones, not less.

Same-day service, free estimates, licensed & insured — and a fireplace that lights when you click the remote.
Yes — quietly. Metal chimney caps, dampers, grates and vent terminations corrode faster in humid, salt-carrying air, and a rusted-through cap lets rain straight down the flue. An inspection checks the metal parts most companies skip, so corrosion gets caught while it is still a small repair.
Usually, yes. That haze is mineral film baked onto the glass by heat and hard water vapor, and it gets worse the longer it sits. We remove the glass, strip the film with the right compounds, check the gasket seal, and refit it — if the glass is etched through, we will tell you honestly and quote a replacement only if you want it.
Leave the fireplace off, and if the smell is strong, leave the house and call your gas utility or 911 first. Once it is safe, call us: a faint odor at startup can be a lazy ignition, but it can also be a leaking valve or connector, and that is fixed before the fireplace is used again — never after.
Usually not. Remotes fail from dead batteries, a receiver that lost its pairing, or a worn wall switch — all quick diagnoses. If the remote is fine, the problem is in the valve or ignition, and we trace it the same visit.
Insurers do ask about fireplaces, especially wood-burning ones and older masonry. A documented inspection and a clean, capped flue are the answers they want to see — we give you the report in writing after every inspection.
No — and be wary of anyone who does. Every fireplace fails differently, so a phone price is a guess that changes at your door. Our estimates are free: a tech looks at the actual problem, then gives you one clear price before any work starts.
