HELLO EVERYONE
As the owner of Porter Tuckpointing, I’ve spent years working with the beautiful, historic brick and stone that makes Saint Louis so unique. I remember one particular evening, enjoying a Cardinals game on the radio from a client’s backyard in Webster Groves. The air was getting that crisp autumn chill, and while the company was great, we all started to shiver. My client sighed and said, “I wish we could enjoy nights like this out here for a few more months.” That sentiment is something I hear all the time. You invest in your backyard, your patio, and your landscaping, but its use is limited by our distinct Midwestern seasons. The perfect solution is a custom-built outdoor fireplace, a structure that not only provides warmth but also becomes a stunning focal point for your home.
An outdoor fireplace does more than just extend your patio season; it creates a natural gathering spot for family and friends, enhances your home’s value, and adds a touch of rustic elegance. At Porter Tuckpointing, we specialize in Outdoor Fireplace Construction in Saint Louis, creating bespoke designs that seamlessly integrate with your home’s existing architecture and your personal style. We don’t just build a structure; we help you create a destination for making memories, right in your own backyard. From the grand homes in Ladue to the charming brick bungalows in South City, we bring the same level of passion and expert craftsmanship to every project.
We offer a comprehensive suite of services to bring your outdoor living vision to life. Our process is designed to be seamless, from the initial concept to the final, beautiful result. We handle every detail with precision and care, ensuring your new fireplace is not only gorgeous but also safe and durable.
Every St. Louis home has its own character, from the iconic red brick of Soulard and Benton Park to the stately stone homes in Clayton and the Central West End. A generic, one-size-fits-all fireplace kit simply won’t do. That’s why we’ve built our reputation on our award-winning design and build process. Our in-house design team collaborates directly with you, taking the time to understand your vision and the unique style of your property. We consider sightlines, prevailing winds, seating arrangements, and how the fireplace will complement your landscaping. Our hyper-local expertise means we have a deep understanding of St. Louis architectural styles and can source the period-appropriate materials needed for a seamless and historically sensitive addition to your home.
The St. Louis climate is demanding. The freeze-thaw cycles of our winters and the high humidity of our summers can wreak havoc on improperly constructed masonry.1 That’s why we build our outdoor fireplaces to a standard, not a price. We use time-tested masonry techniques and premium, locally sourced materials chosen specifically for their ability to withstand our weather. Our meticulous approach to footings, firebox construction, and chimney drafting ensures your fireplace will be a safe, efficient, and beautiful feature for decades. We are so confident in the quality of our work that we back it with our exclusive Lifetime Craftsmanship Guarantee—a promise of lasting beauty and durability that is unique in the St. Louis market. When we build your fireplace, we build it to be a permanent part of your home.
An outdoor fireplace is often the stunning centerpiece of a larger outdoor living space. We don’t just see a single structure; we see the entire picture. During our consultation, we can help you envision how your new fireplace will integrate with other elements to create a truly functional and inviting outdoor room. Imagine a custom brick fireplace flanked by matching stone seating walls, a wood-fired pizza oven built into an adjacent outdoor kitchen, or a coordinating stone fire pit for more casual gatherings. Our expertise in all facets of masonry allows us to execute these larger projects with a cohesive design and unified quality. Investing in a professionally designed and built outdoor living space is one of the best ways to increase your property’s appeal and resale value.
For years, we’ve been the trusted partner for homeowners who care deeply about the integrity and beauty of their properties. Our foundation is in specialized historic restoration, giving us an unmatched understanding of the brick and stone that define our city. This deep knowledge informs every new construction project we undertake. We don’t just build fireplaces; we build relationships based on trust, communication, and exceptional results. From initial design to final cleanup, our team treats your home with the respect it deserves. Our commitment to quality is evident in everything we do, from our transparent pricing to our ironclad Lifetime Craftsmanship Guarantee. We are your local, dedicated masonry experts, committed to preserving and enhancing the beauty of St. Louis, one home at a time.
