We offer zero down options, free estimates, fast friendly service and high quality craftsmanship.

"Absolute Masonry rebuilt a retaining wall for us and repaired our 75 year old chimney. They both look great, but with the need to match 75 year old bricks on the chimney, they went the extra mile and saved some of the good bricks and worked them in with the new bricks and it looks fantastic. We couldn't be happier. Their communications was great, the pricing was fair, and they were respectful in working around our neighbors property and cleaning up. We highly recommend Absolute Masonry!"

Fireplaces questions, answered by experts

In some cases, you can use a fireplace once the insert has been removed. However, before burning a fire, you must have a professional inspect it and the chimney to make sure they're functioning properly and no damage has occurred from removing the insert. That’s because using a fireplace without an insert could create fire hazards due to issues with airflow and heat dispersion, depending on the fireplace design and material. A professional can advise on whether you should make certain repairs or modifications before using your fireplace as an open hearth.

Gas fireplaces offer efficient heating, low maintenance, and easy ignition with remote control options.

DIY cleaning involves brushes and safety gear, but it may not be safe to reach high or hidden areas, so professional service provides comprehensive assurance.

The short answer is yes, but the longer answer is more complex. Unless the fireplace is ventless by design, you’ll need some type of exhaust pipe system to safely send fumes and other harmful byproducts out of the house. Even then, ventless fireplaces are not always permitted because they do keep the byproducts inside of your house. Ventless fireplaces are safest when installed in spaces that are themselves well-ventilated, like large rooms with lots of windows.

Yes, it’s possible to install a wood-burning stove through the wall. The process is similar to venting the stove through the ceiling, but you’ll need to be careful of electrical wiring, plumbing, studs, and other potential obstructions in your walls. If you’re not comfortable with this type of work, call a professional who installs wood-burning stoves.
