Could A Masonry Fireplace Add Value to Your Home?

• While you can spend as much or as little as you
  want on a masonry fireplace for your outdoor
  space, however much you spend, there can be no
  doubt that it will be a great addition to your
  yard and will be appreciated by all the family.
  That said, the more you invest in a masonry
  fireplace and the better quality it is, the more
  chance it has of helping you increase the value
  of your home when it comes to selling it.
• If selling your home is a priority, or you want a
  masonry fireplace to enjoy for yourself until the
  time comes to sell your home in the future,
  having one professionally constructed by a
  masonry pro, will almost certainly add value to
  your home.

• Here are two of the most common types of masonry
  fireplaces
• Basic fire pits
• If youve already got a patio at your home, you
  might just be looking to add a simple fire pit
  for friends and family to gather around on a
  winters night, or even on a summers night when
  the temperature drops but the mosquitos are still
  out in force! Made from classic red brick or
  stone with a heat absorbing base, low lying
  fireplaces tend to cost less than more elaborate
  designs because they dont rely on intensive
  labor, and require minimal materials.
• While you cant cook on them, they are perfect
  for flame gazing and gathering around socially.

• Cooking fireplaces
• You can usually choose from a traditional fire or
  a modern inlay, the former of which involves set
  cast iron grates suspended above the flames and
  cooking is done directly over the flames. They
  are usually made from solid stone or brick, and
  are relatively affordable.
• You could also opt for a brick veneer façade
  around modern cooking technologies, which brings
  the concept of a fully working kitchen, into your
  backyard. Actual stoves, burners and even ovens
  are integrated, but naturally this option costs
  more and is more labor intensive.

• How much will you have to spend on a masonry
  fireplace?
• Whatever you spend on your masonry fireplace,
  its important to remember that they often enable
  homeowners to recoup a significant portion of
  their outlay costs, and typically give an average
  150 return on investment. Looking at in this
  way, any type of masonry fireplace is a
  worthwhile investment, and provided you maintain
  its upkeep, it should help you sell your home for
  more, should the occasion arise.
• To have your outdoor fireplace designed and
  constructed, and add value to your home, consult
