How We Fix Your Chimney Right

We start with a complete inspection of your chimney system, inside and out. That means checking the crown, flashing, mortar joints, liner, damper, and firebox. We look for the actual problem, not just the symptoms.

Then we give you an honest assessment of what’s wrong, what it takes to fix it right, and what it costs upfront. No sales pitch, no surprises later.

When we do the work, we use proper materials and proven techniques. We match mortar to your existing masonry, seal everything correctly, and make sure water flows away from your home. The repair gets done right the first time, so you don’t deal with the same problem again next year.

How much does chimney repair cost in Newton, MA?

Chimney repair costs depend on the extent of damage and the type of work needed. Minor repointing might run a few hundred dollars, while major structural repairs or rebuilds can cost several thousand. Most Newton homeowners spend between $800 and $3,000 for typical chimney repairs. We provide upfront pricing with no hidden fees, so you know exactly what to expect before any work begins. The key is addressing problems early. Small issues like loose mortar joints are much less expensive to fix than waiting until you have major structural damage or water infiltration problems.

How long do chimney repairs last in Newton's climate?

Quality chimney repairs should last 15-30 years or more, depending on the type of work and exposure to weather. Repointing with proper mortar and technique typically lasts 20-25 years, while crown repairs and flashing work can last even longer when done correctly. The key is using the right materials and methods for Newton’s specific climate conditions. We use mortars that match the strength of your original masonry and allow for proper expansion and contraction during freeze-thaw cycles. Cheap repairs with inappropriate materials might last only a few years. That’s why quality workmanship and proper materials matter for long-term protection.

What are signs my Newton chimney needs repair?

Look for white staining on your chimney exterior, water leaks near the chimney inside your home, or loose and crumbling mortar between bricks. Other warning signs include rust on the damper or firebox, damaged chimney crown, and animals or birds getting into your chimney. If you notice more smoke buildup than usual or your fireplace won’t start properly, your masonry may have a problem. Strange particles drifting from the chimney to the floor or bricks rolling down your roof are serious signs that need immediate attention. Don’t wait until small problems become major structural issues. Newton’s harsh winters with snow, rain, and freezing temperatures can quickly turn minor damage into expensive repairs.

Do you work on historic Newton homes?

Yes, we specialize in historic Newton homes and understand the unique challenges they present. Many of Newton’s older homes still use original flue liners and masonry that may be deteriorating after decades of New England weather. We work with original brick and stone, carefully matching materials and techniques to preserve your home’s historic character while bringing safety and function up to modern standards. Our team knows how to handle Victorian, Colonial Revival, Italianate, and other forms of historic architecture common in Newton. Whether you need repointing on an 1890s Victorian or structural repairs on a Colonial Revival home, we use historically appropriate materials and methods that respect your home’s heritage while ensuring modern safety standards.

What's the difference between repointing and tuckpointing?

Repointing removes old, deteriorated mortar and replaces it with new mortar that matches the strength and color of the original. This is structural repair work that restores the integrity of your chimney and is what most Newton chimneys need. Tuckpointing is a decorative technique that uses two different colored mortars to create the appearance of fine joint lines. It’s more about aesthetics than structural repair. For most Newton chimney repairs, repointing is what you need. We remove the old mortar to the proper depth, clean the joints thoroughly, and install new mortar that will last for decades while allowing the masonry to expand and contract naturally with temperature changes.

Do you offer warranties on chimney repair work?

Yes, we stand behind our work with warranties that cover both materials and labor. We typically provide 2-5 year warranties on our chimney repair work, depending on the type of repair performed. Our warranties cover defects in workmanship and premature failure of materials. This gives you peace of mind knowing that if something goes wrong with our work, we’ll make it right at no additional cost to you. We’re a local, family-owned business that’s been serving Newton for over 30 years. Our reputation depends on doing quality work that lasts, which is why we back everything we do with real warranties and a satisfaction guarantee.
