The six services Selma homeowners call us for most — from a gas fireplace that will not light after a long idle summer, to a new outdoor fireplace for the patio. Everything on this page is fireplace in Selma, TX — the work, the local conditions and the coverage.

Local conditions
Selma fireplaces have Selma problems
A fireplace in Selma is not fighting a long winter — it is fighting long hot summers sitting unused, dust and insects in the burner, storm debris, and the occasional hard freeze. This is what we find here, and what we check on every visit.
Storm limbs and downdrafts
Storm season drops limbs, leaves and roofing debris into open flues across Guadalupe County, and strong wind over the roof can reverse a marginal draft and push smoke back into the room. We clear blockages, check the cap, and diagnose downdrafts by cause instead of guessing at parts.
Limestone and brick masonry
Limestone and brick chimneys are common across Selma, and both take heat, sun and driving rain year after year. Mortar joints soften, crowns crack, and water starts working into the masonry. We check the crown, joints and flashing on every inspection, not just the firebox inside.
Red dirt and construction dust
In growing areas around Selma, red dirt and construction dust get everywhere — including inside burner compartments and pilot assemblies. Fine dust clogs orifices, coats sensors and makes flames lazy and yellow. A proper cleaning clears the burner, pilot and sensors, and restores a clean, steady flame pattern.
Big day-night swings
Oklahoma weather can swing from a warm afternoon to a cold night in hours, and Selma fireplaces get lit, shut off and relit with the swings. That stop-start use is hard on igniters and thermocouples, and it rewards a unit that has been serviced. We test ignition through repeated cycles, not one lucky light.

My gas fireplace sat all summer and now it won't light — why?+
Sitting idle is the most common cause we find in Selma. Dust clogs the tiny pilot orifice, insects nest in the burner ports, and a thermocouple that was already tired gives up over the off months. Usually it is one small part or a thorough cleaning — a tech traces the exact cause on the spot.
A hard freeze is coming — should I worry about my fireplace?+
If your fireplace has been serviced, a freeze is when it earns its keep. If it has not run in months, test it before the cold arrives — idle units often fail on the coldest night, when every company in Guadalupe County is booked solid. A service visit ahead of the freeze beats an emergency call during it.
How often does a Selma fireplace need service if we barely use it?+
Once a year, even with light use. In Selma, an unused gas fireplace still collects dust, insects and heat-aged gaskets, and the first cold front is when neglected units fail. Book the annual service in the fall, before the first front, and the unit should light first try all season.
Can you add an outdoor fireplace or fire pit to my Selma home?+
Yes — outdoor fireplaces and fire pits are one of the most common installs we do in Selma. We handle sizing, placement, venting where it applies, gas and electric runs, and finishing, with one crew from start to first fire. Start with a free estimate and we will walk the space with you.
We smell gas near the fireplace — what now?+
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 delayed ignition, but it can also be a leaking valve or connector, and that gets fixed before the fireplace is used again.
Do you give prices over the phone?+
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.
