Fireplace Bronx NY

Home fireplaces elicit a feel of elegance, class, and appreciation for the natural. The growing trend is the contemporary fireplace, typically cased in a veneer wall. You can opt for lighter or darker stones, or mix in some color.

​Have the veneer border just around the hearth with a mantel, go from floor to ceiling, or go wall to wall. In our consultation, we can help you from an interior design perspective, to consider not just the look of the fireplace itself, but how it fits in with the rest of the room.

Old brick or cobblestone fireplaces bring a more colonial feel to your home, be it in your family room, basement, or even kitchen, to imitate the fashion of an old farmhouse. With traditional brick, you might consider a different stone for the hearth, the part that comes out in front of the fire, and a nice wood mantel to give it some country character.

Electric Fire and Gas Inserts

Electric and gas fire inserts can work in either a contemporary or country-style fireplace. Electric fireplaces are behind a glass window, they are vent free and smoke free, and are a zero-emissions heat source.

They emulate the look of a log or coal fire, while pumping heat out to still provide that cozy fire feel. They are turned on simply by a switch, and you can adjust the settings for brightness and heat.

Electric inserts are growing in popularity, especially in city apartments and condos, for their safety and convenience.

For gas inserts, they emit real fire without the need to buy wood, to rake through the ashes, and the lengthy process of getting a fire going.

​Like the electric, these are simply turned on by a switch, and you can control the strength of the flames. Gas fires are hooked up through a plumber to your home’s gas lines, be it natural gas or propane. These fires are remarkably real looking, with flames coming up through the logs. 

Chimney and Brick Pointing Bronx NY

A contemporary chimney with veneer adds an element of class to the exterior of your home, and can really make your property standout. There a variety of brick, stone, or veneer options available, and we can help you decide what would fit best with the style of your home. Most new homes are being built with state of the art chimneys, and we work with building contractors to maximize this key focal point of your home.

Chimney maintenance is crucial to preserve the integrity of your brick and mortar structure, which is essential for safety and water resistance. It is the kind of work that if you don’t keep up with it, the hassle and cost goes up exponentially if it gets out of control and requires a total rebuild. Our chimney masons are methodical in examining every brick, will replace some if needed, and meticulously fill every crevice with mortar. 

​We have a vast experience as a brick repair company, and we take pride in our work. Our brick service professionals are educated in spot pointing, tuckpointing, and repointing. We do pointing on brick buildings as well, both on the outside and interior. Please give us a call today, and we would be glad to take a look at your home and give you a free estimate.

Outdoor Fireplace Pelham

Outdoor Fireplaces are growing in popularity, with several different options. The new age stone fireplaces are freestanding constructions, with chimneys, and a section to store firewood. These are often made as a key focal point within a stone patio or poolscape. Outdoor fires are a great way to stay warm outside, and bring an extra nature element to your backyard experience.
​
Fire pits are great if you are having big gatherings and you want a bigger bon fire. These can be raised or in the ground, and the stone around it can make it an aesthetic highlight of your yard.

For gas fires outdoors, patios look exceptional with a raised table of gas logs. This enables several people to sit around it and enjoy the fire experience without the smoke. 

Electric fireplaces are typically embedded inside a stone or veneer wall. This could be an outside wall of the house, or a freestanding wall. These are very sleek and easy to use. Any of these options will add to the character of your home, and add to the ambience of your outdoor experience at night.
