Outdoor Fireplaces & Fire Pits in Coquitlam: what to know
Coquitlam homeowners — especially on Burke Mountain's larger lots — invest heavily in outdoor living spaces. We build stone and brick fireplaces and fire pits that handle the North Shore weather.
Outdoor fireplaces and fire pits turn a backyard or patio into a space you actually use, even in the cooler Lower Mainland months. We build custom stone and brick fireplaces, fire pits, and outdoor living features to code, with the right materials and clearances so they're safe and they last. A fire feature is the centrepiece of an outdoor space, so the masonry has to look as good as it performs. We build wood-burning and gas, freestanding and built-in, sized and styled to fit your yard and how you want to use it.

When Coquitlam homeowners call us for outdoor fireplaces & fire pits
You want a usable outdoor space
A fire feature extends your patio season and gives the whole yard a natural gathering spot.
A patio or landscape upgrade
An outdoor fireplace or fire pit is the centrepiece that ties a patio and seat walls together.
Entertaining and resale appeal
A well-built outdoor living feature is a strong selling point and a space you'll use constantly.
Replacing a flimsy store-bought pit
A built-in stone or brick fire feature looks and lasts far better than a metal kit, and it's safer.
Coquitlam properties: what we see
Coquitlam has two very distinct housing environments for masonry work. The older central and south areas — Austin Heights, Maillardville, central Coquitlam — have post-war housing with brick chimneys and concrete block foundations that are now 60–70 years old and showing mortar deterioration. The newer northern areas — Burke Mountain and Westwood Plateau — are steep subdivisions built in the 2000s and 2010s where engineered retaining walls and stone veneer on new builds are the primary masonry demand. Maillardville, as one of BC's oldest French-Canadian communities, has heritage brick that needs careful matching.
We work throughout Coquitlam — including Burke Mountain, Maillardville, Austin Heights, Town Centre — and we know how the terrain, housing stock, and climate vary across the city. Every quote reflects what we actually see on site.
