Looking for indoor fireplace & firebox repair in Wellesley Hills in Wellesley, MA? Ultimate Boston Masonry is a licensed, insured, family-owned masonry contractor serving Wellesley and the rest of Norfolk County from our Boston base. Wellesley stone facades and terraces get restoration-level attention and careful material matching.
Housing in Wellesley Hills in Wellesley includes older brick multi-families and colonials built before 1940, and road salt and plow damage every 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.
