Fireplace Installation in Philadelphia

A fireplace is the thing a room gets built around, and a masonry fireplace is the one that lasts for generations. APS builds, refaces, and repairs stone and brick fireplaces across Philadelphia, Bucks County, and Montgomery County, indoor and outdoor, from a new firebox and chimney to a facelift on a dated brick surround. We're masons, so the part that has to handle real heat and draw right is our own trade. Licensed and insured since 2017 (PA #139378).

Wood, Gas, or Insert Fireplaces

The firebox is your choice, and we build the masonry for whichever you want. A wood-burning masonry firebox is the classic, a gas insert is cleaner and easier to run, and a prefab insert can drop into a masonry surround we build around it. We handle the masonry, the firebox, and the venting; the gas line itself is run by a licensed gas fitter, which we coordinate so you're not managing two trades. We'll walk you through the trade-offs for your home.

Indoor and Outdoor Fireplaces

Indoors, a fireplace is the anchor of a living room or a primary suite. Outdoors, it's what turns a patio into a space you use into the fall, long after a fire pit alone would send everyone inside. We build both, and because we also do the surrounding hardscape, an outdoor fireplace gets designed into the patio and seating rather than dropped in afterward.

Built to Draw Right and Last

A fireplace is one of the few things in a house where looks and function have to line up exactly. The firebox proportions, the flue size, the clearances, and the materials all have to be right or it smokes, cracks, or worse. We build to those specs with materials rated for the heat, so your fireplace drafts properly, stays safe, and holds up, not just looks good the first season.

 

What to Expect Working With APS

Design & Selection

We work out the style, materials, and firebox type with you and put the scope in writing.

Build

We build the firebox, surround, and venting to spec, coordinating the gas fitter when there's a gas line.

Finish

We set the hearth, mantel, and facing, clean up, and hand it over ready to use.
