Work

What the masonry looks like.

Reference photographs of the lines we build — stacks, fireboxes, veneer, block, and old brick. A quote is taken from your wall, not from a picture.

A fieldstone chimney on a cedar cottage beside a northern lake
Fieldstone stack

A full chimney beside the house. Flashed at the roof. Capped at the top.

Stone-faced masonry fireplace and a broad hearth
Masonry firebox

Modular where the floor needs it. Stone on the face. Hearth sized to the opening.

Shallow traditional fireplace with firebrick and a stone lintel
Rumford proportion

Shallow, tall, splayed. Built to throw heat into the room.

A river-rock masonry chimney against log walls
River rock

Rounded stone, a real stack. Not a veneer glued to a box.

Veneer, flashed

The joint you see is half the job. The metal at the top is the other half.

Historic red brick with stone trim
Heritage brick

Joints and brick kept in the character of the wall.

Concrete block foundation courses
Block

Courses a level will agree with, before the stone or the house lands on them.

Chimney crown and metal cap
Crown and cap

Water leaves the top. It does not move into the flue and freeze.

Indoor ledgestone accent wall
Accent wall

Stone inside the room. Corners returned. A clean stop at the trim.

Sandstone pavers, a seat wall, and steps
Outdoor stone

Aura or Banas underfoot. Coping and steps in the same stone.

Outdoor fieldstone fireplace on a flagstone patio
Outdoor fire

Stone that sheds rain and still holds a fire.

Brick chimney through a metal roof in winter
Above the roof

The courses that take the weather. Rebuilt when the crown and the top are done.
