Who installs fireplaces?

• <div><p>Knowing who to hire to install your fireplace is important when it comes to having a safe place to burn a fire in your home. The best person to contact for installing fireplaces is a mason or general contractor who has a <a href="https://www.nficertified.org/public/">National Fireplace Institute</a> (NFI) specialist certification. If you’re installing wood paneling, then it’s a good idea to also find a pro who is Wood Energy Technology Transfer (WETT)-certified. </p><p>Both of these certifications show that your pro is well-equipped to install fireplaces and inspect your home for the utmost safety.</p></div>

Q: What repairs are frequently needed for a non-gas pre-fabricated fireplace unit?

• <div><p>Cracked panels, worn-out seals, faulty dampers, and firebrick damage often need professional attention.</p></div>

Q: Which is better: German schmear, whitewash, or limewash?

• <div><p>When comparing which is better between German schmear, whitewash, and limewash, your answer will depend on the look you're going for. German schmear is the best option for those who want a heavily distressed look for their brick without full coverage. Whitewash is best if you like the current brick color and want it to show through. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-limewash-paint.htm">Limewash paint</a> is best for full coverage.</p></div>

Q: Do I need to prime my brick fireplace before painting?

• <div><p>Yes, it&rsquo;s a good idea to use <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/quick-primer-interior-painting.htm">paint primer</a> on your brick fireplace before painting it. Brick is highly absorbent, so your first few coats of paint will likely seep into the surface of your fireplace, allowing the natural color of the brick to seep through. To avoid this, you&rsquo;ll want to use one or two coats of primer, followed by the topcoat. </p></div>

The team at Fireworx installed a gas fireplace insert for me. From the initial consultation and estimate with Bobby to the install with Andrew and Daniel was flawless. They were professional, clean, and came in under my budget. I’d highly recommend them for anyone looking for fireplace...

I orginally contaced the fireplace place in morristown and they were asking $275 for an estimate and parts and labor would be extra. They were also charging extra for travel fees even though they are 3 miles away from me. The hotspot did not charge for travel even though they are 30 miles away....

I first called to see if they would inspect existing gas logs that would not work--thought there was something wrong with the gas line. They agreed, but encouraged me first to try a few preliminary steps to get them working. I did so. Finally decided that I really wanted a new set of logs. ...
