"Black Diamond Masonry did a great job on our fireplace remodel. They were always on time and very well organized. They also walked us thru the project step by step and helped us make good decisions on materials. Black Diamond was the cleanest contractor we’ve ever had, leaving our home spotless after each visit. Their stone work was perfect and the mantle looks great for the price. Highly recommend!"

Fireplaces questions, answered by experts

Gas fireplace repair costs an average of $600, but prices can vary widely depending on the issue, parts needed, and service provider. Simple repairs like cleaning or pilot light adjustments may cost between $75 and $200, while more significant repairs involving component replacement can cost $1,000 or more. The overall cost typically falls within the $100 to $2,500 range.

Typical price ranges for repairing different components of a gas fireplace are:

  • Thermocouple: $75 to $350

  • Thermopile: $75 to $350

  • Gas valve: $150 to $300

  • Pilot light: $100 to $350

  • Igniter: $100 to $150

  • Mantel: $500 to $1,200

  • Hearth: $150 to $800

Well-seasoned hardwoods like oak, maple, hickory, and ash are the cleanest woods to burn in a fireplace. When properly dried, these woods have low moisture content, allowing them to burn hotter and produce less smoke, which minimizes creosote buildup. Ensure the wood is seasoned for at least six months for optimal burning.

A chimney liner isn’t required for an outdoor fireplace; you don’t technically need one if the masonry chimney uses the proper dimensions and is built to code. However, a chimney liner does serve as a protective coating for the flue. Adding a liner could improve performance, safety, and durability. In short, while not necessary, it wouldn’t hurt.

In some cases, you can use a fireplace once the insert has been removed. However, before burning a fire, you must have a professional inspect it and the chimney to make sure they're functioning properly and no damage has occurred from removing the insert. That’s because using a fireplace without an insert could create fire hazards due to issues with airflow and heat dispersion, depending on the fireplace design and material. A professional can advise on whether you should make certain repairs or modifications before using your fireplace as an open hearth.

How big a fire pit should be depends on how many people you want to get around it on a regular basis, and how big your space is. The average fire pit size is between 36 and 44 inches. However, if you regularly host big gatherings and have the appropriate outdoor space, you can go as big as 72 inches.
