Hello

I have a zero clearance Northstar that has been installed in place of a gas stove, the stove was installed professionally. Red fire board was installed around the stove and everything was good. Board clearly says no combustibles to be installed. The stone masons installed tar paper under their lath and scratch coat. Should I get them to re do this and remove the tar paper? What ye think?
