A fireplace that sat cold for years can heat the home again. Here are the steps and the options.
Many Nashville homes have a fireplace that has not been lit in years. It may be drafty, dusty and a little scary to try. Before anyone strikes a match, the fireplace needs a proper look: nests, debris, creosote and cracked flues are common in a chimney that has sat idle.
We inspect and clean first, repair what is needed and then talk about how you would like to use the fireplace. Some owners want a traditional wood fire. Others prefer gas logs, an insert for more heat or a gas fireplace for easy use. We help you choose and install it.
