Will an Outdoor Fireplace Improve My Home’s Value?
Definitely, both in monetary resale value and how much potential buyers connect with your property. In fact, well-maintained outdoor living spaces are consistently rated among the most desirable features in homes – particularly here in Kansas City where folks enjoy spending time outdoors in the spring, summer, and fall.
Think of it this way: an outdoor fireplace, oven, or fire pit essentially adds another “room” to your home, just without the need for a full addition. Buyers typically see this space as an extension of the indoor living area, perfect for entertaining or relaxing. So, if you’re at all concerned that adding one of these features will hurt your property value, put your worries aside.
That said, remember that a system that was poorly built or installed by an amateur could have the opposite effect, making your property seem more like a fixer-upper – and possibly not worth the hassle. Do it right by having the work completed by a reputable local team of masons – like the Sleep Easy crew. You’ll enjoy it more now – and benefit from it later.
What Kind of Maintenance Is Required for an Outdoor Fireplace or Fire Pit?
So, it’s clear that outdoor fireplaces, fit pits, and other outdoor features can definitely improve your current quality of life, as well as boost your home’s overall value…but only if they’re properly maintained! Like with most home appliances, regular upkeep is a must for ensuring efficiency, safety, and longevity.
Your maintenance requirements will vary based on the system you’ve invested in, but here’s a good general guide on what to expect…
- Clean out ash and debris regularly. Whether wood-burning or gas, make sure the firebox stays clean. For wood-burning units, remove cooled ash regularly to prevent buildup and improve airflow.
- Check for soot or creosote buildup. While creosote buildup is more common indoors, soot can accumulate in chimneys or vents. Book annual inspections to ensure everything is working as safely as possible.
- Inspect for cracks or damage. Periodically inspect the materials for cracks, loose bricks, or signs of wear. Freeze-thaw cycles in Kansas City can be tough on outdoor materials.
- Clean the exterior. Brush off dirt, leaves, and cobwebs. Occasionally use mild soap and water to keep stone, brick, or concrete looking fresh.
Then, in the winter, use a weather-resistant cover to prevent moisture damage and keep debris out. Ask your chimney sweep experts (that’s us) about proper weatherproofing to ensure your system can stand strong through snowfall or heavy rain.
All in all, taking care of your outdoor fire feature is relatively simple, but it’s important to stay on top of small issues before they become big problems. Sleep Easy also offers expert inspections and repairs, so don’t wait to reach out!
