"John at Cornerstone Masonry did an outstanding job of replacing missing bricks and tuck pointing a very large area on my Polk Blvd all brick home. The work was top notch and makes this century old two story look like new. The quality of the work was excellent with attention to the smallest details. Punctuality and communication were excellent. The job was done on time and for the quoted amount. I am very satisfied with the finished product and I have hired them for another project."

"I love it!  It's beautiful!  There was an issue with the tiles I wanted to use to replace the old, generic 12 x 12 ceramic tiles as my new tiles were mosiac but they were very thin (mother of pearl).   Not near as thick as the existing ceramic tile.I decided to have Todd research the process of adding my thin tiles to the existing ceramic tiles without the cost and mess of removing the old tiles.  Todd was able to smooth the surface of the existing 12 x 12 tiles and cover that surface with my new thin tiles.  It's beautiful!!!  He's a magician!  Left for work one day and came home to my gorgeous new fireplace!"

Fireplaces FAQs, answered by experts

Even if a homebuyer has no intention of using the fireplace installed in the home they’re thinking of buying, it’s vital to know when the fireplace and chimney were last inspected. Aside from learning that it can operate properly, homebuyers will want to know that the structures themselves are sound and won’t affect the integrity of the surrounding home. With full knowledge, homebuyers can then make plans for any necessary repairs before they move in. 

Chimney crowns may be stone, concrete, or metal but most crowns are made of concrete. It’s not recommended to build chimney crowns with mortar (which is different from concrete) due to it’s weaker composition (especially when exposed to the outside elements). Most chimney crowns are custom made to fit your home’s specific chimney.

For most brick cleaning jobs, including fireplace bricks, use a masonry sponge and a gentle cleaner. A simple solution of equal parts water and vinegar, or a few drops of dish soap in a bowl of water, can effectively remove grime. For tougher stains, you can use a dedicated masonry or fireplace cleaner. It is crucial to wet the bricks thoroughly with water before applying any cleaning solution to prevent the brick from absorbing it, and to rinse the surface completely afterward. Harsher cleaners containing bleach or ammonia should only be used as a last resort, and they should never be mixed together.

For many people, the primary disadvantage of a gas fireplace insert is that it doesn’t look or smell like a classic wood-burning fire. Additionally, the labor costs of installing a gas insert are higher than some other types of fireplace inserts, including electric and pellet inserts. There are also limitations on where you can install ventless gas fireplaces because they’re banned in certain places (including California).

Creosote logs can help to reduce new creosote build-up by about 60%, however they don’t replace regular cleaning. While creosote logs can help to prevent build-up of creosote in your chimney, they won’t remove build-up that’s already there. Creosote logs can be used as a preventative measure in conjunction with regular cleaning, but you will still need to clean your chimney about once per year.
