Stop water damage and safety hazards with professional chimney repair that actually lasts.
No more dealing with water stains on your ceiling or walls. No more wondering if your fireplace is safe to use. No more small problems turning into expensive disasters.
When your chimney works properly, you’ll feel confident every time you light a fire. You protect your home’s value instead of watching it deteriorate. You avoid those middle-of-winter emergency calls that cost twice as much.
The difference between a quick patch job and real chimney repair shows up in your wallet over time. Quality masonry work means fewer repairs, better protection, and a chimney that handles New England weather without falling apart.
Academy Masonry has been repairing chimneys in Burlington and nearby towns for years. We know the challenges that come with aging homes in this area—and we know how to fix them the right way, with lasting results. A lot of the damage we see could’ve been avoided if the repairs were done properly the first time. That’s why we use durable materials that match your existing brickwork and stand up to New England’s weather.
When you call us, you’re not getting a sales pitch. You’re getting honest answers about what’s wrong, what it’ll take to fix it, and what it’s going to cost—plain and simple.
We start with a full inspection of your chimney—not just the spots that look bad from the ground. Many serious issues, like hidden water damage or shifting brickwork, begin where you can’t see them.
Once we know what’s going on, we walk you through it in plain language. You’ll see exactly what’s wrong, why it happened, and what it’ll take to fix it. No upsells, no guesswork—just straightforward answers.
Then we get to work using the right materials and techniques. That means repointing with mortar that blends with your existing masonry, swapping out damaged bricks, and stopping water intrusion at the source. Before we begin, you’ll get a full breakdown of the work and a clear timeline—most jobs are wrapped up in one to three days.

At Academy Masonry, we take care of everything—from small mortar touch-ups to full chimney rebuilds. That includes repointing, replacing damaged bricks, repairing the crown, installing flashing, and restoring structural integrity.
Older homes in Burlington need a careful, informed approach. We don’t try to force modern fixes onto historic structures. Instead, we match materials and design elements so your chimney repair looks like it’s always been part of the home.
Every project starts with a detailed inspection. We flag issues early, including any code violations that could complicate future home sales. Above all, we target the real culprit behind most chimney damage: water. Stop the leaks, and you stop the cycle of decay.
