Many schools, unions and industry associations train masons. Some of them even teach masons how to build Rumford fireplaces. We are happy to recognize those that do and certify the masons they graduate as "Certified Rumford Fireplace Masons". Any mason reported to us by one of the programs listed below as having completed training as a mason, including how to build a Rumford fireplace, will be listed on our website and will be recommended to our customers.
