Masonry Chimneys

We build new chimneys and Rumford and Bellfires style fireplaces, and repair old chimneys. Our specialty is masonry (brick and stone). Here are some samples of our masonry chimney work...

BEFORE and AFTER

This chimney was damaged when the house
next door had an explosion. The chimney
foundation and chase cracked throughout.
When we removed the old deck, the
chimney collapsed (left). We rebuilt the
chimney with a new concrete slab, and block
foundation with a brick chase. We repaired
and replaced the old chimney cover,
and rebuilt the deck.

Note: we only do deck work when doing chimney repairs!

This new chimney was built by our team of masonry experts - Gene Padgitt, Steve Logan, and Tony Gross.
Note the detail work at the top of the chimney with soldier bricks and corbeled courses, and the inset bricks
on the center front of the chimney (center photo).

We are Masonry Heater Builders

Masonry heaters are the most efficient way to heat your home.

This is a sample of a brick heater with a wood-fired bake oven above it, but we also build stone, tile, and soapstone heaters.

Historic Restoration job in Kansas City, Missouri.

1880 Victorian home.

This chimney was torn down and rebuilt from a photo since the top portion was completely gone. This project included four other chimneys, all built in different intricate styles that were typical of the Victorians.

We had to obtain "Little Reds" historical bricks for the project in order to match the existing bricks.

Also see our historical restoration work page for more information on this and other projects.

Outdoor Bake Oven Project

This is a brick bake oven that uses wood inside the oven
for heating up to 700 degrees. Once you've tasted pizza from
a wood-fired oven you'll never eat delivery again!
