Outdoor Fireplaces & Fire Pits in South Boston, Boston, MA
Looking for outdoor fireplaces & fire pits in South Boston in Boston, MA? Ultimate Boston Masonry is a licensed, insured, family-owned masonry contractor serving Boston and the rest of Suffolk County from our Boston base. From Back Bay brownstones to triple-deckers in Dorchester, Boston masonry is old, soft-brick work that needs the right mortar and a careful hand.
Housing in South Boston in Boston includes older brick multi-families and colonials built before 1940, and New England's 60–100 freeze-thaw cycles a winter is what wears this masonry down. That is why our outdoor fireplaces & fire pits work starts with understanding what your building is made of — brick type, stone, mortar hardness, and drainage — before we price anything. An outdoor fireplace or fire pit turns a patio into a space you use most of the year. We build with firebrick cores, correct flue sizing, and finishes that tie into the rest of your masonry.
Response time in Boston: Same-day estimates, most weeks · Typical range $3,200 – $24,000
