Indoor Fireplace & Firebox Repair in Minot, Scituate, MA
Looking for indoor fireplace & firebox repair in Minot in Scituate, MA? Ultimate Boston Masonry is a licensed, insured, family-owned masonry contractor serving Scituate and the rest of Plymouth County from our Boston base. Scituate's exposure to storms means we build and repair with drainage and salt in mind from the start.
Housing in Minot in Scituate 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 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.
