Professional masonry repairs that stop leaks, prevent damage, and restore the safety of your fireplace.
You’ll have a chimney that does its job—no leaks, no lingering smoke, no guesswork. The water stains on your ceiling and walls? Gone. And you won’t have to wonder if it’s safe to use your fireplace anymore.
Instead of avoiding it, you’ll actually enjoy your fireplace. The draft will work like it should, carrying smoke up and out. That musty smell that hinted at moisture problems? That disappears too, once the damage is addressed and sealed correctly.
But more than anything, you’ll feel confident. You’ll know the masonry is solid, the flashing is secure, and the system is ready for the harshest New England days. A repaired chimney isn’t just a fix—it’s one less thing on your list to stress about.
At Academy Masonry, we’ve been handling chimney and masonry repair throughout the Boxborough area for years. As local chimney contractors, we’re familiar with New England’s freeze-thaw cycles, we know how they affect brick and mortar, and we know what it takes to make repairs that last.
We’re not the guys who show up, give you a scary story, and try to sell you a whole new chimney when you need a simple repoint. We’re also not the ones who slap some caulk on a crack and call it fixed.
We get it done right the first time—using the right materials and methods built to hold up against tough Massachusetts weather. And when the job’s finished, you’ll know exactly what we did, how we did it, and why it matters for your home.
We start by inspecting your chimney from top to bottom. We closely examine the crown, the flashing, the mortar joints, and the interior condition. We’ll let you know what’s wrong, what can wait, and what needs to be repaired right now.
Next, we explain the work that needs to be done and why. No technical jargon, no scare tactics. Just a clear explanation of the problem and how we’ll fix it.
The actual repair work depends on what your chimney needs. It might be repointing deteriorated mortar joints, replacing damaged flashing, rebuilding a crown, or addressing structural issues. We use materials designed for masonry work, not generic fixes that fail in two years.
When we’re finished, we clean up completely, explain the work we completed, and answer any questions you may have. You’ll understand the repair and know what to watch for going forward.
