Fireplace surrounds

A chimney breast is masonry, not decoration.

Inside, a fireplace is the one wall nobody stops looking at. It is also structure: a firebox, a flue, a hearth that has to carry weight, and a face that has to sit flat and plumb from the floor to a ceiling that is rarely square. We build the whole assembly rather than veneering someone else’s.

Rounded fieldstone, stacked ledgestone, cut ashlar, or a single book-matched slab run floor to ceiling in granite, quartz, marble or quartzite. Cast and stone hearths, reclaimed timber mantels, stone mantel shelves, and returns cut to meet built-ins cleanly.

What you get

Stand inside our work first.

Most stone contractors here work out of a truck. We built a showroom at 2010 Chapin Rd with a covered slab gallery and an outdoor pavilion, and the pavilion has a full stone fireplace in it. You can stand in front of the stone, at the height it will actually sit, before you choose.

One crew, stone to finish. Firebox, flue, face and hearth by the same people. One contract, one point of contact, no subs pointing at each other when something needs to be made right.
