Custom Fireplace Construction
Fireplaces Built Around the Home and Intended Use
A successful masonry fireplace should feel integrated with the room rather than added afterward. Proportion, stone or brick profile, hearth dimensions, mantel placement and surrounding finishes all affect the completed result.
Natural Stone Fireplaces
Fieldstone, ledgestone, dimensional stone and custom-cut profiles for traditional or contemporary interiors.
Custom Brick Fireplaces
Traditional and modern brick patterns with compatible mortar, hearth detailing and architectural proportions.
Wood-Burning Fireplace Masonry
Heat-resistant masonry assemblies planned around the firebox, clearances, hearth and surrounding non-combustible materials.
Fireplace Refacing and Upgrades
Existing fireplace exteriors can be rebuilt or resurfaced with new brick or stone when the underlying conditions permit.
Materials & Design
Fireplace Styles and Masonry Options
The best design depends on the architecture, available space, preferred materials, appliance type and amount of visual emphasis the fireplace should have within the room.
Traditional Brick Fireplaces
Classic brick, soldier courses, corbelled details, raised hearths and traditional proportions suited to established interiors.
Modern Stone Fireplaces
Clean stone profiles, restrained joints, linear hearths and full-height features for contemporary homes.
Rustic Fieldstone & River Rock
Natural variation, irregular profiles and deeper joint treatments for cabins, mountain properties and character-focused interiors.
Outdoor Fireplaces & Fire Features
Outdoor masonry fireplaces and fire features designed around gathering space, drainage, weather exposure, surrounding materials and the intended use of the property.
Project Planning
Choosing the Right Fireplace for Your Property
Material appearance is only one part of fireplace planning. Construction requirements, proportions and long-term use should be reviewed before selecting the final design.
Space and Proportion
Wall width, ceiling height, furniture placement, hearth depth and visual scale determine how large the finished masonry should be.
Appliance and Heat Requirements
Wood-burning, gas and electric units have different clearance, venting, firebox and non-combustible material requirements.
Stone or Brick Selection
Profile, colour, texture, joint finish and surrounding materials should complement the architecture and other permanent finishes.
Maintenance and Intended Use
Frequency of use, exposure to soot, outdoor weather and preferred maintenance level all influence material and detailing choices.
Fireplace Restoration
Fireplace Masonry Repair
Fireplace masonry can deteriorate because of heat exposure, movement, age, moisture, incompatible previous repairs or normal wear. The visible symptom should be assessed before selecting a repair method.
Cracked or Loose Fireplace Brick
Damaged units can be replaced where surrounding masonry remains stable and compatible replacement material is available.
Mortar Joint Repair
Loose or deteriorated mortar is removed and replaced using materials appropriate for the location and heat exposure.
Stone Surround Repair
Loose stone, cracked joints and damaged fireplace surrounds can be repaired or selectively reconstructed.
Hearth and Visible Masonry Repair
Cracked hearth units, damaged edges and surrounding masonry can be assessed for repair or replacement.
Heat-Exposed Masonry
Firebox and Refractory Masonry Repair
The firebox is exposed directly to high temperatures and repeated heating and cooling. Cracked refractory mortar, loose firebrick or damaged panels should not simply be concealed with general-purpose mortar.
Firebox repairs require an assessment of the visible damage, appliance configuration and surrounding masonry. Suitable heat-resistant materials are selected according to the existing construction and repair scope.
- Cracked refractory mortar joints
- Loose or damaged firebrick
- Deteriorated firebox panels
- Heat-related masonry damage
- Localized firebox reconstruction

Common Questions
Fireplace Masonry Questions
General answers about custom fireplace construction, fireplace masonry repair, firebox work, materials and project planning in Calgary.
What types of fireplaces do you build?
Martini Stone Masonry constructs custom brick and natural stone fireplaces for indoor and outdoor applications. The appropriate design depends on the appliance, available space, clearances and architectural style.
Do you build both indoor and outdoor fireplaces?
Yes. Indoor and outdoor projects require different planning for exposure, drainage, appliance configuration, surrounding materials and intended use.
Can an existing fireplace be refaced with stone?
In many cases, an existing fireplace can be resurfaced or reconstructed with natural stone. The existing substrate, clearances and structural condition must be reviewed first.
Can cracked fireplace brick or mortar be repaired?
Localized damaged masonry can often be repaired when surrounding materials remain stable. Heat-exposed firebox areas may require specialized refractory materials rather than standard masonry mortar.
What is the difference between fireplace and chimney repair?
Fireplace repairs commonly involve interior masonry, surrounds, hearths or firebox materials. Exterior chimney repair involves weather-exposed brick or stone, mortar joints, crowns, caps and rebuilding above the roofline.
Where can I find detailed chimney repair information?
