I'm working on a house in Medford and we're gonna be building a second story. This additional floor will make the existing fireplace too short according to code. We need the 2 feet above any combustible materials.
My question is, "How can I pass code with my existing fireplace.?" "Is my only solution to build up the fireplace to a height that will meet code, or is there another solution that is possible?"
If I need to build up the existing fireplace meet code requirement, how difficult is this to do, and how costly is it?
Thank you,
Nick
