Indoor Fireplace & Firebox Repair in Newton Centre, Newton, MA

Looking for indoor fireplace & firebox repair in Newton Centre in Newton, MA? Ultimate Boston Masonry is a licensed, insured, family-owned masonry contractor serving Newton and the rest of Middlesex County from our Boston base. Newton patios, retaining walls, and granite entries are our most common project mix, often tied into larger landscape plans.

Housing in Newton Centre in Newton 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 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.
