We’ve been serving the broader Spokane County area for over 42 years, and the Country Homes enclave has been part of our regular route since the early days.

The 90-Day Done Right Promise backs every job in writing: if it’s not right, we come back, no paperwork and no arguing.

Our Fireplace Services in Country Homes

Gas Fireplace Service

Gas fireplaces in Country Homes work harder than most homeowners realize. Between November and March, these units often run daily through Spokane’s extended cold periods, and the valve assemblies, thermopiles, and ceramic logs accumulate wear that shows up as delayed ignition, yellow flame tips, or that faint sulfur smell that means incomplete combustion. We service standing pilot and electronic ignition systems across the 99218 area, testing gas pressure, inspecting burner orifices for spider webs or debris, and verifying that your venting remains properly configured for the unit’s rated output. Most gas fireplace services in Country Homes run $180-$320 for standard cleaning and adjustment; valve or thermocouple replacements typically add $140-$260 in parts and labor.

Wood Burning Fireplace

Here’s the reality specific to Country Homes: residents throughout this area commonly split and stack their own firewood from local sources, including ponderosa pine, and burn it before it’s fully seasoned. A technician visiting a Country Homes home should expect to find thick, glazed creosote in flues that were cleaned as recently as one season prior. This isn’t a judgment - it’s the practical result of heating with available fuel in a cold climate. Our Country Homes Chimney Cleaning & Sweep service includes a Level-2 camera inspection to map creosote deposits, check for spalling in your original clay-tile liner, and assess whether that 1960s or 1970s firebox has developed cracked refractory panels from decades of thermal cycling. Standard cleaning and inspection in Country Homes runs $220-$340; chemical treatment for glazed creosote adds $85-$150 when needed.

Fireplace Insert

Inserts retrofitted into Country Homes’s original masonry fireplaces are a smart upgrade, but only when properly installed with correct liner sizing and sealed surrounds. We’ve found inserts in this area with liners that don’t extend to the top of the chimney, creating a dangerous gap where creosote accumulates out of sight. Our insert service includes full liner inspection, gasket and door seal replacement, and combustion air verification. For Country Homes homeowners considering an insert upgrade, we can evaluate whether your existing chimney structure can safely handle the rated output of modern EPA-certified units. Insert service and cleaning runs $240-$380; liner extensions or repairs range $400-$950 depending on height and accessibility.

Damper Repair

A failed damper in Country Homes isn’t just an inconvenience - it’s heat loss you pay for every night. The combination of Spokane’s temperature extremes and the age of these homes means throat dampers rust, warp, or separate from their frames, while top-sealing dampers suffer cable or spring failure from freeze-thaw cycles. We handle Chimney Repair - Country Homes for both types, and we’ll show you exactly what’s wrong before quoting. Most damper repairs in Country Homes run $150-$280 for throat damper work; top-sealing damper installations range $320-$480 including the unit and labor.

Trusted Brands We Service in Country Homes

We don’t substitute builder-grade materials to pad margins. For fireplace repairs and component replacements in Country Homes, we stock and install professional-grade parts from Olympia Chimney, Famco, and Copperfield - brands that hold up to the demands of real heating-season use, not occasional decorative fires. Our trucks carry common dampers, firebox refractory panels, gas valve assemblies, and liner connection components so most Country Homes jobs finish in one visit. If your fireplace requires a specialized part, we source directly rather than making you wait through a middleman. That’s how we’ve operated for over 42 years, and it’s why we’re still here when customers from decades past need us again.

Common Fireplace Services Problems We See in Country Homes Homes

• Accelerated creosote from unseasoned local firewood. The ponderosa pine surrounding Country Homes burns fast and hot, but it also deposits resinous creosote that glazes into a hard, ignitable layer. We regularly remove Stage 2 and Stage 3 buildup from flues that were swept just one season earlier.
• Spalling clay-tile liners from thermal shock. Fifty to seventy years of heating Spokane’s sub-zero mornings and letting chimneys cool through 80°F summer days has taken a toll on mortar joints throughout the 99218 area. Camera inspection reveals the damage before it becomes a structural concern.
• Firebox refractory cracking in original construction. The ranch and split-level homes that define Country Homes were built with firebox panels rated for decades of use, not half a century. Hairline cracks widen with each heating season and eventually compromise the firebox’s ability to protect surrounding framing.
• Chimney cap and crown freeze-thaw damage. Heavy snow loads on the Spokane Plateau let moisture infiltrate small crown cracks, which expand through repeated freeze-thaw cycles. By the time water shows inside, the crown may need rebuild rather than simple sealing. We also handle Chimney Cap & Crown in Country Homes when the damage extends beyond what a standard service call addresses.
