Custom Brick Fireplaces
A masonry fireplace is built from the footing up: firebox, throat, smoke chamber, flue and chimney, then the face you see, in brick, stone or both. We design the opening, the hearth and the mantel with you, and build the working parts to the proportions that make a fire draw well.

About custom brick fireplaces
Does a masonry fireplace need a permit?
Almost always. Fireplaces and chimneys are regulated for safety, and we help you with drawings and inspections. Confirm requirements with your local office.
What fuel can I burn?
A masonry fireplace is built for dry, seasoned wood. Gas logs and gas inserts can also be fitted, and we explain what each needs.
How long does it take to build?
A fireplace and chimney is a multi-day project, with the footing and cure first. We give you a schedule once we see the site.
