Stop worrying about water damage, dangerous gases, and costly repairs that keep coming back. Professional chimney company Brighton homeowners trust for lasting solutions.
You’ll sleep better knowing your chimney isn’t leaking water into your walls or letting dangerous gases back into your home. No more stressing about that crack getting worse every winter, or wondering if the last guy actually fixed the problem.
When your chimney works properly, your fireplace draws smoke correctly, your heating system vents safely, and water stays outside where it belongs. You won’t be calling contractors every few months to patch the same problems.
Most importantly, you’ll have confidence that the repair will last. Real masonry work done by people who understand how chimneys actually function in New England weather.
Academy Masonry has been fixing chimneys throughout Brighton and the greater Boston area for over 30 years. We’re not a general handyman service trying to figure out masonry work as we go.
Our team understands how New England’s freeze-thaw cycles destroy chimney mortar, why water always finds the smallest crack, and what it takes to make repairs that actually hold up. We’ve seen every type of chimney problem these old Brighton homes can throw at us.
Brighton’s housing stock includes many century-old properties that need specialized attention. These homes weren’t built with modern safety standards, and their chimneys often lack proper liners or have deteriorated masonry from decades of harsh Massachusetts weather.
First, we inspect your chimney thoroughly to identify every problem, not just the obvious ones. Water damage often starts small but spreads quickly, so we check flashing, crowns, caps, and masonry for any entry points.
Next, we explain exactly what needs fixing and why. No surprises, no upselling unnecessary work. You’ll understand the scope before we start and get transparent pricing upfront.
Then we fix it right the first time using materials and techniques that match your home’s original construction. Our repairs are designed to last decades, not just pass this year’s inspection. We clean up completely when finished and stand behind our work with strong warranties.

Our chimney repair covers the full scope of masonry issues you’re likely dealing with. Repointing deteriorated mortar joints, replacing damaged bricks, rebuilding chimney crowns, fixing flashing leaks, and addressing structural problems that compromise safety.
We handle fireplace repairs too, including damper issues, firebox restoration, and smoke chamber problems that cause poor draft. If water has been getting in, we’ll track down every entry point and seal it properly.
Brighton’s older homes often need comprehensive chimney work, not just quick patches. We approach each job understanding that your chimney needs to function safely for decades, not just pass inspection this year. That means using the right materials and techniques that match your home’s original construction while meeting current safety codes.
