Fireplaces and Pits

Due to the nature of our culture, a lot of fireplaces are now built using cheaper materials. As a consequence, the knowledge for upkeep of the true fireplace is being lost.

Fireplaces have different parts which require knowledge and experience: the chimney, the firebox (where the fire actually burns), and the fireplace front, or face. Each requires different types of maintenance. Lasker Masonry has the experience and knowledge necessary to build and/or repair your fireplace.

Brick is not the only medium which can be used for building a fireplace. Brick was the common medium years ago. Pictured on top is a fireplace front created from prefabricated stone. There are several local businesses which either manufacture stone, or can obtain manufactured stone, in different styles and looks.

Firepits have become popular in the past few years, and we can easily create one to fit your needs. Like fireplaces, the firepits can use different mediums, allowing for different looks to achieve the desired effect you are wanting.

Outdoor fireplaces can also be easily built, whether in brick or stone. Built in the same manner as indoor fireplaces, they can be used for cooking, or attached to an outdoor kitchen and patio area.
