Forte Masonry Contracting repairs and restores masonry fireplaces across Ottawa cracked firebrick, crumbling refractory mortar, damaged hearths, draw and back-drafting problems, and full brick or stone refacing. We work on both wood-burning and gas masonry fireplaces, with over 20 years of local experience and free, no-obligation estimates.
Your fireplace is the focal point of the room, so it needs to be both beautiful and safe. Over the years, however, heat, moisture, and ordinary use take their toll on a masonry fireplace. Firebricks crack, the high-heat mortar in the joints breaks down, hearths chip, and the brick surround starts to look tired. At Forte Masonry Contracting, we handle every part of masonry fireplace repair, from small firebox fixes to complete restorations. With more than 20 years serving Ottawa homeowners, our masons restore fireplaces to safe, sound, and attractive condition using the right materials for the job.
Moreover, because a fireplace and its chimney form one connected system, we look at the whole picture rather than just the part you can see. That way, a repair actually solves the underlying problem instead of masking it. If your chimney also shows wear, we can address it in the same visit through our chimney repair and restoration service.
