Outdoor Fireplaces & Fire Pits in Mount Hood, Melrose, MA
Looking for outdoor fireplaces & fire pits in Mount Hood in Melrose, MA? Ultimate Boston Masonry is a licensed, insured, family-owned masonry contractor serving Melrose and the rest of Middlesex County from our Boston base. Melrose Victorians have tall chimneys and granite steps, both frequent repair candidates.
Housing in Mount Hood in Melrose includes homes sitting on fieldstone and block foundations, and spring snowmelt that saturates masonry and soil 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.
