Outdoor Fireplace Styles for Any BudgetCustom Masonry Fireplaces
Find a Local Concrete Contractor Custom masonry fireplaces require structural engineering and familiarity with local soils conditions. Some engineers require soils reports before beginning structural calculations. Custom features are built from the ground up, depending heavily on the skills of the installing mason. Firebox size, smoke shelf fabrication, flue sizing and chimney height are all important considerations. These features require 3 times more labor to construct, but can accommodate any weight veneer and allow the versatility to combine with water features, match existing architecture, provide large wind breaks, etc. Do not discount the required structural engineering, permit process time, multiple inspections, enormous footings, and higher skilled labor costs when preparing your proposal. Installed costs range from $14,850-$35,850 depending on size, veneer and styling.
