Custom-built brick and stone fireplaces, outdoor fireplaces, and gas fireplace installation for homes across Newport and Lincoln County.
25+ years on the Oregon Coast · Oregon CCB #207117
Overview
A masonry fireplace is the heart of a room and, on the Oregon Coast, a genuine source of warmth through the long grey season. Steve Smith Masonry has designed and built indoor and outdoor fireplaces across Newport and Lincoln County for more than 25 years, combining traditional firebox craftsmanship with clean, modern finishes.
Every fireplace we build is engineered for how it will actually be used. We size the firebox and flue correctly, detail the hearth and mantel to match your home, and finish the surround in the brick, natural stone, or stone veneer you choose. The result is a fireplace that drafts properly, looks like it belongs, and lasts for decades.
Our Process
How We Build Your Fireplace Construction
Design & Estimate
We visit your home, talk through style and budget, and provide a clear free estimate — indoor, outdoor, wood-burning, or gas.
Firebox & Footing
We pour proper footings and build a code-correct firebox and flue so your fireplace drafts cleanly and safely for years.
Stone or Brick Finish
We lay your chosen brick, full stone, or thin veneer with tight, consistent joints and a hearth and mantel to match.
Final Detailing
We finish caps, seal masonry against coastal moisture, and clean the site before your first fire.
Why Steve Smith Masonry
Indoor & Outdoor Masonry Fireplaces Across Lincoln County
For patios and backyards from Depoe Bay to Waldport, an outdoor masonry fireplace turns a deck into a year-round gathering spot. We build freestanding fireplaces, fireplace-and-wood-storage combinations, and full outdoor rooms with seating walls to match.
Indoors, we construct new fireplaces and rebuild tired ones — updating a dated brick surround with modern stacked stone, or adding a gas fireplace insert for effortless heat at the flip of a switch. Whatever the setting, the workmanship is the same Oregon CCB-licensed craftsmanship we're known for.
