New homes and additions need chimneys built to draw well and meet the rules. Here is how we work with builders and owners.
New homes in Middle Tennessee often include a fireplace, from a full masonry unit to a prefabricated one in a framed chase, and gas fireplaces are increasingly common. Each needs to be planned with the framing, the roof and the interior finish, and each has its own rules for clearances, height and venting.
We work with builders and owners from the planning stage. We advise on the type of fireplace, the chimney height and the flue size, build or install the system and protect the top with a proper crown, cap and flashing. We also help with permits and inspections so the project stays on schedule.
