Bask in the glow
of a warm fire.
Custom fireplace installation and premier masonry for Houston, Richmond, Katy and Deer Park — traditional, direct vent, wood-burning, gas and electric fireplaces, comprehensive chimney repair, brick and stone work, outdoor kitchens and pizza ovens. Built by craftsmen, finished like it was always there.
What we
build.
Fireplaces, chimneys, brick and stone. From a single cracked mortar joint to a full outdoor kitchen with a wood-fired pizza oven — designed, built and finished by the same masons, so the details agree from the footing to the final joint.
A Sugar Land patio,
built for every weekend.
A bare concrete slab became a full outdoor living room: a wood-fired brick pizza oven, a built-in grill kitchen with stone counters, a seat wall, and a masonry fireplace — all laid in one material palette so the joints and colors agree from end to end.

standard.
We Never Cut Corners
Proper footings, correct throat and smoke chamber geometry, full mortar beds, and joints struck by hand. The parts nobody sees are the parts that decide whether it lasts thirty years.
Design & Build In-House
Same team designs the fireplace, sources the brick and stone, lays it, and finishes the mantel. No subcontractor handoffs, no mismatched materials, one point of contact.
Installation & Repair
We build new fireplaces and we fix failing ones. Crown rebuilds, tuckpointing, spalled brick, flashing, relining — comprehensive chimney repair alongside installation.
Three things we
put in writing.
On-Schedule Builds
You get a written schedule before we break ground and a lead who answers the phone. Site swept every evening, materials staged out of your way, and a firm date for the final burn.
Itemized Pricing
Every estimate is written and itemized — unit, venting, framing, veneer, mantel, labor. No allowances that balloon later and no change orders you didn't approve in writing first.
Craft Guarantee
Correct footings, full mortar beds, proper draft geometry, and hand-struck joints — backed by a written workmanship warranty. If something we built moves, we come back and make it right.
How we
work.
Same four phases on every project. Simple, disciplined, and the reason Houston homeowners, designers and builders keep our number saved.
Consultation & Site Visit
We walk the space, measure the opening, check your venting and structure, and talk through fireplace types, materials and budget. Photos and notes, no pressure.
Design & Written Quote
Layout, material samples, brick and stone selections, and an itemized written estimate. You see exactly what you're getting and what it costs before anything begins.
Build & Craft
Permits pulled, framing and venting set, firebox laid, veneer set and joints struck. Clean site every evening and a project lead who answers the phone.
Finish & Final Burn
Mantel, hearth extension, sealing, and a test fire with you on site. We show you how it operates and how to maintain it before we hand it over.
