Masonry service
Fireplaces built as the centrepiece
Custom indoor fireplaces, outdoor hearths and firebox restoration in brick and natural stone.
A fireplace is the one piece of masonry people sit and look at every evening, so the detailing has to be right. We build new indoor surrounds, outdoor fireplaces and pizza ovens, and we restore fireboxes that have been unusable for years.
What this covers
- Custom indoor fireplace surrounds in brick and stone
- Outdoor fireplaces, fire pits and pizza ovens
- Firebox rebuilds with refractory brick and fireclay mortar
- Hearth extensions and mantel support
- Damper, smoke chamber and throat corrections for smoking fireplaces
- Gas insert framing and finishing
How we approach it
Design
We work from your photos or sketches and mock the stone layout dry before anything is set.
Prep
Floors and furniture are protected; the work area is sealed off with dust containment.
Build
Firebox in refractory materials, face in your chosen brick or stone, hearth to code clearances.
Reveal
Cleaned, pointed and photographed — most of ours end up in the gallery.
Fireplaces & Hearths across Woodstock & Oxford County
We work throughout Woodstock and the surrounding townships, as well as London, Brantford and Stratford. Housing stock varies enormously across the county, and so does the right approach: a century farmhouse and a recent subdivision build need completely different mortar, detailing and expectations.

Reviews
Homeowners, in their own words
Every review below is from a real job in a real neighbourhood — most within ten minutes of each other.
“Such a beautiful stone fireplace we had installed. It really elevates the look of our living room, and we appreciate the reasonable price and quality job.”
“Our stone walkway and steps were applied very evenly and carefully. I'm a perfectionist so I notice sloppy jobs, but this one was done very well, so kudos to these guys. I would go with them again when I need more masonry work done.”
“We needed the sides of our house refaced as the brick was crumbling and falling apart. We're very pleased with their brick restoration services.”
“They were excellent to work with. Very detail oriented, and they left a clean job site. They helped with a small repointing job on my house and rebuilt my parents' chimney.”
“They came out and handled my chimney rebuild. Quality work, done right. It's never looked better. Highly recommend.”
“The crew are great at what they do. They do great work for a great price and the end result always exceeds expectations. I would highly recommend them to anyone in need!”
