Fireplace Fireproofing Near Me
Fireplace fireproofing is the process of adding a layer of fire-resistant ceramic coating material to the inside of a fireplace to prevent or slow down the spread of fire. Chimney fires are a serious risk for any home with a chimney, as they can cause extensive damage to the chimney itself, as well as the rest of the house.
Fireplace fireproofing will also protect the firebox from wearing out over time due to exposure to high temperatures and prevent the spread of fire to the surrounding walls and other combustible materials in the home. This is especially important for older homes where the fireplace may not have been built to modern fire safety standards. By fireproofing the fireplace, homeowners can enjoy the warmth and ambiance of a crackling fire with peace of mind knowing that their home is protected from the dangers of fire.

Fireplace Fireproofing Process
The process of fireplace fireproofing typically involves the following steps:
- Firebox cleaning: Before adding the fire-resistant material, the firebox must be cleaned thoroughly to remove any creosote buildup.
- Firebox sanding: The firebox will now be sanded with a sanding machine to remove a few layers off of the firebox.
- Fireplace Fireproofing: The fire-resistant ceramic coating is then added on top of the firebox. Allow time to dry and cure before using the fireplace. The drying time can vary depending on the type of refractory mortar used.
- Testing: Once the fire-resistant layer is dry, the fireplace should be inspected to ensure that the layer has been applied correctly and that there are no cracks or gaps.
Fireplace Fireproofing Cost
The cost of fireplace fireproofing can vary depending on the extent of the work that needs to be done and the materials used. Here are some factors that can affect the cost:
- Type of fireproofing material: There are different types of fireproofing materials that can be used to protect a fireplace, including fire-rated drywall, cement board, and fire-resistant insulation. The cost of these materials can vary.
- Size of the fireplace: A larger fireplace will require more materials and labor to fireproof, so the cost will be higher.
- Condition of the fireplace: If the fireplace is in poor condition and requires repairs or modifications before fireproofing can be done, the cost will be higher.
- Labor costs: The cost of labor can vary depending on the location, the complexity of the job, and the experience of the contractor.
As a rough estimate, the cost of fireplace fireproofing can range from $500 to $2,500 or more, depending on the factors listed above.
