Bringing a Fireplace Back to Life
Is your fireplace no longer looking its best? Over time, fireplace structures can deteriorate. In older homes and buildings, it’s not uncommon for fireplaces to require restoration or total replacement.
Here are a few of the fireplace reconstruction projects we handle:
• Installing new or reclaimed brickwork and stone around the fireplace • Raised hearth reconstruction
Rebuilding a fireplace can add years, if not decades, of life to the structure. On top of that, it ensures its safety for future use.
• Smoke chamber and firebox reconstruction • Mantel and fireplace surround reconstruction • Fireplace insert reconstruction • Revitalizing deteriorating fireplaces
Reconstructing a fireplace to ensure its integrity should be left to a trusted professional who understands how fireplaces are built.
Every homeowner deserves a fireplace that is structurally sound, completely safe, and aesthetically pleasing. Designing a fireplace takes more skill than most other home improvement projects, especially in regard to reconstruction or restoration. When it comes to bringing any home’s fireplace back to life, Boston Brick & Stone is the go-to for homeowners throughout the Greater Los Angeles area.
Fireplaces need to be built with specific materials able to withstand high temperatures and function properly to prevent fire hazards.
Beyond the practical use, a fireplace should also serve as a beautiful focal point of a room.
At Boston Brick & Stone, our knowledge of appropriate materials, safety codes, and construction standards is one of the many reasons our clients trust us to rebuild their fireplaces. We are known for the quality of our work and the professionalism of our staff.
