Problem
Homebuyers closed on a new build that had been spec'd without the fireplace they were promised. The opening was framed but nothing else — no firebox, no flue, no chimney, no hearth. Builder declined to remediate.
Diagnosis
Existing framing was inadequate for a code-compliant masonry chimney; needed engineer-stamped structural plans before any work could start. Pulled City of Frisco permits + scheduled mid-build and final inspections.
Solution
- 01Engineer-stamped structural plans (footing + chimney chase)
- 02Code-compliant masonry firebox with refractory parging
- 03UL-1777 listed stainless steel chimney liner
- 04Custom hearth + surround in homeowner's chosen tile
- 05Final inspection passed first attempt, NFI specialist sign-off
Outcome
Fully operational by Thanksgiving as promised. Homeowner posted a 5-star review specifically calling out the permit-handling and inspection paperwork. Insurance documentation simplified the homeowner's claim against the original builder.
