Outdoor Fireplaces & Fire Pits in Waltham, MA
Looking for outdoor fireplaces & fire pits in Waltham, MA? Ultimate Boston Masonry is a licensed, insured, family-owned masonry contractor serving Waltham and the rest of Middlesex County from our Boston base. Waltham combines historic brick downtown with hillside homes that need retaining walls and stepped access.
Housing in Waltham includes homes sitting on fieldstone and block foundations, and road salt and plow damage every winter 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.
Response time in Waltham: Estimates within 24 hours · Typical range $3,200 – $24,000
