Thermocrete
During our renovation in 2000 our fireplaces were relined and converted to wood burning … supposedly… in reality smoke permeates the house when ever we light a fire.

During our renovation in 2000 our fireplaces were relined and converted to wood burning … supposedly… in reality smoke permeates the house when ever we light a fire. So, now we want to make at least the parlor floor functional. We are leaning towards thermocrete since it is simple although a bit expensive. We are interested in insight from people who have done it, who did it (we have only been able to get 1 quote) and the cost. Thanks.
What do you mean no guarantee? Did you have a contract with your contractor? Are you sure he did the lining himself and not one of his subs? If you had a contract with him, read it carefully and see what it says about the quality of work. Also read what exactly he was supposed to do, and make sure you understand what should have been done.
Even though it’s been a few years, if he is still in business he should be approached to discuss this.
I just relined my chimneys with stainless steel liner (lifetime guarantee for the liner, I think 10 year guarantee for the work itself).
Our contractor did it, so no guarantee. It seems he only lined them partially is the issue.
What did you have them relined with? Many companies provide a guarantee with their services, including a lifetime guarantee for the products used. What exactly did you have done?
