McGee Masonry

About McGee Masonry

David McGee grew up near historic Virginia, in a big old house with a fireplace that prompted his love of the flame and influenced him to become a mason.

While an apprentice, David had the opportunity to restore historic brick structures all across the state, but primarily in Richmond and Williamsburg, where he became fascinated with the way 18th century masons constructed fireplaces. He then began research which eventually led him to become an expert on the physics of the Rumford fireplace.

Today, McGee Masonry is based in Charleston, South Carolina, but David has extensive experience building and restoring Rumford fireplaces in fine homes all across America.

David is also currently listed with the Association for the Preservation of Virginia Antiquities (A.P.V.A) as an expert in brick restoration, and has contracted extensively in both residential and commercial masonry.
