Warmer Homes, Safer Structures: The Value of Expert Chimney & Fireplace Construction

When the temperatures drop in Kitsap County, nothing compares to the warmth of a real fireplace. But beyond comfort and ambiance, fireplaces and chimneys serve as vital structural and safety components in your home—making proper construction essential.

At Hughes Custom Masonry, we’ve been building and restoring fireplaces and chimneys across the region for over 40 years, combining timeless design with rock-solid safety and durability.

More Than a Focal Point—It’s a Fire-Safe Feature

A fireplace is often the centerpiece of a living room or gathering space, but if the chimney isn’t properly designed or constructed, it can pose serious fire hazards or structural issues. Our team understands the complexities of venting, material selection, and code compliance—especially in our damp Pacific Northwest climate.

Whether you’re installing a new chimney or repairing an aging one, proper masonry ensures:

• Safe smoke and heat ventilation

• Protection from water intrusion and freeze-thaw damage

• Long-term structural integrity

From Classic to Custom—Fireplaces with Character

No two homes are alike, and your fireplace should reflect your home’s architecture and your personal style. From rustic stone surrounds to sleek brick hearths, Hughes Custom Masonry works with you to design and build a fireplace that fits seamlessly into your space—while increasing your home’s comfort and value.

We specialize in both indoor and outdoor fireplaces, giving Kitsap County homeowners options for year-round gathering spots.
