Looking for indoor fireplace & firebox repair in Brookline Village in Brookline, MA? Ultimate Boston Masonry is a licensed, insured, family-owned masonry contractor serving Brookline and the rest of Norfolk County from our Boston base. Brookline's stone and brick homes deserve restoration-grade work. We document everything with photos for property managers and trustees.
Housing in Brookline Village in Brookline includes a mix of Victorian, colonial, and mid-century homes, and spring snowmelt that saturates masonry and soil is what wears this masonry down. That is why our indoor fireplace & firebox repair work starts with understanding what your building is made of — brick type, stone, mortar hardness, and drainage — before we price anything. Cracked firebrick, loose hearths, and eroded smoke chambers are fire hazards. We rebuild fireboxes with firebrick and refractory mortar, reset hearths, and restore brick and stone surrounds inside the home.
