"I can not speak highly enough about Michael and Artie. Michael and I had three separate contracts for an extensive amount of brick repair to my veterinary hospital as well as a complete overhaul of a chimney and fireplace at my residence. The veterinary clinic needed a door blocked up and all windows to be parged to match the existing stucco. The door was blocked up the right way by toothing in matching period bricks so it basically looks like in never existed. The fireplace at my residence was a complete overhaul. My wife and I wanted a pass through fireplace and Michael and Artie had to cut through 3/4 inch steel to make our dream a reality. The labor was clearly above and beyond the scope of the work originally quoted but they made sure the job got done. Michael and Artie were professional and kept constant communication through the duration of the project. They both were on site nearly seven days a week over the course of three weeks. Michael offers a 10 year warranty on all of his work. Even after the jobs were paid in full, Michael and Artie came back for minor touch ups. They cleaned up thoroughly and left the job site as they found it. I have managed three home gut renovations in the past eight years and have used my fair share of skilled workers. Michael is a gem."

"The second time I have used Pacific Stone and Tile in lass than a year and my experience this time was just as fantastic as the first time. very reasonable price and the final product looks better than we had visioned. Sal came out and explained all issues and keep me in the loop with updates as our quartz was backordered. The crew was meticulous with their measurements, making sure no gaps were showing due to sloping floors or crooked walls. They were very thorough with the install. You can tell immediately the pride Sal and his crew take in their work. The installers were as friendly as the owner, they kept the area clean and and were very considerate of me and my family. I plan on using Pacific Stone and Tile every time I need countertops."

"I bought a really nice regency gas fireplace from South Shore Fireplace and couldn't have been happier with the way they treated me and completed the installation. They were the most attentive and considerate companies I approached which is why I went with them. We couldn't get the time of day from other fireplace stores. These guys were right on the ball from the start. Spent a lot of time going over the different stoves and options that go with them all. The installation was scheduled and went very well. Installers were very thorough and clean. This was a complete installation, needed the chimney as well as the stove. Everything was done perfectly and I couldn't be happier. Recently, the stove I picked had a recall and I was informed and updated by Scott as soon as he had news. This actually went on for a couple of months but Scott would contact me every couple of weeks and let me know what was going on. When the replacement part came in, they scheduled the work IMMEDIATELY and I met Jon, one of the senior techs and installers. Jon was on time, meticulous and thorough. Very clean and organized as you would expect a master craftsman to be. The repair went very well and made my stove run better than ever before. When your happy with a job someone does for you, you hardly ever write a review but something turns sour, people can't write one quick enough. When I need something done, I go online and read all the awful reviews of probably great companies so I do not hire them. This review is for all of you that are like me and come here to get the low down on a business. Do not hesitate to go with South Shore Fireplace. It is very hard to find craftsman who really care about what they do and also so nice to deal with. South Shore Fireplace will be my go to guys for the rest of my life. Love you guys - job well done and sincere thank you for your continued support throughout the years."

"Carlos was friendly, very professional and punctual. When he came to give us an estimate for the job, he came on time and had some very good suggestions. We had Carlos resurface 2 fireplaces using ledge stone. They came out beautifull. We couldn't be happier; he's an artist! xoxo"

"Our front steps and walkway, as well as several minor repairs around our house and back patio, needed to be rebuilt. He visited the next day to analyze our needs and provide us with a project estimate. The next week, the work was started and completed in two days. EXACTLY AS DESCRIBED!! This covers a number of changes made as the project progressed. My wife and I are ecstatic about the results, which clearly indicate a big improvement. Stonecare There is no doubt that we made the right option in selecting Stonecare Paving and Masonry based on the amount of praises we have already gotten."

FAQs for brick or stone fireplace repair projects in Boston, MA

Permit requirements for fireplace insert removal vary by location and project scope. While removing an electric insert rarely requires permits, gas insert removals often do because they involve modifications to gas lines. Some municipalities also require permits for changes to structural elements or venting systems. Check with your local building department before beginning your project. Professional fireplace services typically handle permit acquisition as part of their package.

Removing a fireplace insert can potentially impact your home's value. Since fireplaces are desirable features in many housing markets, removing an insert (especially if it eliminates the fireplace's functionality) might negatively affect your property value. If you're planning to sell your home soon, consider keeping the fireplace intact. For homeowners planning to stay long-term, the potential energy efficiency gains from removing an inefficient fireplace might outweigh future resale considerations.

The time required to remove a fireplace insert depends on several factors, including the type of insert, its installation complexity, and whether structural modifications are needed. Professional removal services can typically complete the job in a single day, though complex situations involving gas lines, electrical work, or structural changes may require additional time. Your removal specialist should provide a time estimate based on your specific situation.

Many fireplace inserts contain recyclable materials, particularly metal components that can be processed at scrap facilities. Working inserts in good condition, especially wood-burning models, might have resale value. Before disposal, consider checking with recycling centers, architectural salvage shops, or online marketplaces to explore options for giving your old insert a second life. This approach can be both environmentally responsible and potentially offset some of your removal costs.
