Indoor Fireplace & Firebox Repair in Unionville, Franklin, MA
Looking for indoor fireplace & firebox repair in Unionville in Franklin, MA? Ultimate Boston Masonry is a licensed, insured, family-owned masonry contractor serving Franklin and the rest of Norfolk County from our Boston base. Franklin patios and walls go up on newer subdivisions where drainage planning is critical.
Housing in Unionville in Franklin includes granite stoops, brick chimneys, and stone garden walls, 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.
