FIREPLACES
New Construction and Installation
As masons, we specialize in traditional, open-hearth fireplaces, lined and finished with real brick and stone, built as a statement of pride. The recent trend with many architects has been to steer towards pre-fabricated fireplaces, mainly due to lack of thorough knowledge of fireplace design and subsequent liabiity. We design and build fireplaces and provide a 10-year warranty of structural integrity and functionality.
At the same time, we also have longtime working relationships with most manufacturers and dealers of pre-fabricated fireplaces, and most of the time you would get a better deal ordering them through us. If your project or personal preference call for a pre-fabricated fireplace, we invite you to browse through our catalogue section, where you will find most of the popular models from reputable manufacturers. Please also visit our gallery – we’ve built many fireplaces and there’s a good chance you will find something you like.
Regardless of what type of fireplace you decide to go with, dealing with professionals will always be more efficient and pleasant.
Repair and restoration
When designed, built and serviced properly masonry fireplaces will work for generations without any problems. However, inferior workmanship, exposure to moisture and lack of timely service can substantially shorten the life of your fireplace and create fire and health hazards. Any cracks in the fireplace or chimney allow heat and flue gases to escape and must be repaired as soon as possible.
HeatShield®
While repairs of fireboxes and smoke chambers are relatively inexpensive, cracks in masonry chimney until recently often left no alternative but to rebuilding it. Today, thanks to a revolutionary product named HeatShield®, chimney cracks can be repaired at a fraction of the cost. HeatShield® is a specially formulated sealant that fully restores the integrity of a cracked or spalled chimney. It is rated “Super-Duty” refractory mortar per ASTM C199, is listed to UL1777 Standard for chimney liners, and exceeds both NFPA and IRC standards. Have your fireplace repaired by professionals for its maximum safety and efficiency.
Facelift
Whether you want a completely new style of your fireplace facing or would like to restore the old one to its original look, we can implement your vision into brick, stone or tile. In the gallery section of our completed jobs you will find many different styles of fireplace facings and mantels, which will help you find the right one for your project. You can’t really enjoy your fireplace unless you love the way it looks.
HARDSCAPES
In addition to fireplaces, building beautiful, elegant hardscapes in brick and stone is our specialty. This includes:
• OUTDOOR KITCHENS
• BARBEQUES
• PIZZA OVENS
• FIRE PITS
• WATER FEATURES
• DRIVEWAYS AND WALKWAYS
• MAILBOX POSTS
• PATIOS
• SMALL BRIDGES
Please visit our gallery to view our work.
GATES AND WALLS
Just like fireplaces and hardscapes, monumental structures such as gates and walls make a dramatic statement of pride and value. An entrance with a solid, original gate is also very inviting. With it being the part that gives the first overall impression of the property, it is essential that the gate, the colomns and the attaching wall show perfection as an architectural structure. Let this job be done by real masons.
MASONRY VENEER
Well-designed masonry veneer transforms a building into a luxurious brick or stone house. And with custom features like beautiful arches, spiral columns, hand-crafted ornaments and other elements it really becomes a work of art.
We take pride in building gorgeous, sophisticated brick and stone veneers you will hardly see anywhere else – something you absolutely love looking at every time as an owner, guest, visitor or a passer-by. Again, we invite you into our gallery to view some ideas. New pictures of jobs for the Masonry Veneer Section are coming later this summer.
