Fireplace Surrounds & Hearth Masonry Toronto

Stone and brick fireplace surrounds, hearths and decorative masonry for Toronto homes.

A&A Masonry installs stone and brick surrounds, hearths and fireplace masonry. Our work covers the masonry finish and supporting details; we do not install gas, wood-burning or electric fireplace appliances.

Fireplace masonry work can update a surround, hearth or feature wall around an existing or separately installed fireplace appliance. We review the existing surface, proposed materials and project details before defining the work.

Fireplace Surround and Hearth Options

Stone or brick surrounds: Select textures, colours and patterns that complement the room.
Hearth masonry: Discuss the dimensions, material, support and transitions required for the proposed hearth.
Veneer finishes: Review suitable stone-facing products and the preparation needed for the existing surface.
Repairs and updates: Assess damaged or dated masonry before deciding whether localized repair or replacement is appropriate.

Planning Fireplace Masonry Work

The masonry finish and the fireplace appliance have different installation requirements. The project review should identify the selected products, supporting surface, appliance instructions and any work to be completed by other qualified trades.

Confirm the condition and suitability of the existing surface.
Review the dimensions and details around the fireplace opening.
Choose materials appropriate for the intended location and exposure.
Agree on preparation, protection of nearby finishes and cleanup.

Decorative masonry does not establish an appliance’s heating efficiency, backup-heating capability or operating safety. A&A’s scope is stone, brick, hearth and surrounding masonry work.

Customer Stories

September 22, 2024

Nigel responded quickly to my request to have my chimney inspected following a water leak around my fireplace. Following an inspection, repair of my chimney was promptly scheduled. Eduardo and his team arrived and worked hard for several days to repair my chimney and also discovered and repaired several cracks in between the brickwork around my home. Eduardo and his team were hard working, friendly and very approachable. He kept me informed through the whole process and made sure to get my approval before any work was completed. They also did a great cleanup job once the work was completed. I would highly recommend A&A Masonry. Thanks so much!

Nigel from A&A responded to my inquiry immediately and scheduled a site visit. It was evident that Nigel wanted to do whatever A&A could to help us build our room with our original vision in mind. He even did some extra research to see if he could find other contractors to finish work that was not stone related. He truly went above and beyond. Throughout the process Nigel responded to texts and phone calls within minutes. I felt in very good hands with Nigel however when Eduardo and his team showed up to start the stonework, that's when the magic happened. Eduardo has an eye for detail and offered numerous suggestions that greatly improved upon our original idea. The stonework is absolutely beautiful and I LOVE my new outdoor room! Eduardo and his men were professional, friendly and SUPER clean!

We are thrilled with A & A Masonry's EXCELLENT work. Had a 2 storey fireplace covered with natural stone veneer. Juber and his crew did an amazing job! They had to remove drywall, replace it with concrete board, set up scaffolding, and apply the veneer and not a bit of damage to the surrounding walls, floor or furniture occurred. Every last trace of the job both inside and outside our home was cleaned up before they left the site each day. The team was very friendly and respectful while in our home. The craftmanship in the stone work is impeccable. Couldn't be happier!
