Professional chimney repair that actually lasts, protecting your home and your wallet from costly damage.
Your chimney stops leaking water into your home. No more stains on ceilings or walls from water damage that starts small and becomes expensive fast.
The mortar stays put instead of crumbling onto your roof or into your yard. You’re not dealing with loose bricks that could fall and hurt someone or damage property.
Your fireplace draws smoke properly instead of filling your living room with fumes. You can actually use your fireplace without opening windows or worrying about carbon monoxide issues.
Most importantly, you avoid the massive expense of a complete chimney rebuild. Proper repairs now prevent the kind of structural damage that costs thousands later.
Academy Masonry handles chimney repair throughout East Boston with the kind of attention to detail that prevents callbacks. We’ve been working on chimneys in this area long enough to know what fails and why.
Most chimney problems start small. A little loose mortar here, a small crack there. We catch these issues early and fix them properly so they don’t turn into major structural problems.
When we show up, we assess the entire chimney system, not just the obvious problem. That’s how we prevent surprises and give you repairs that actually last.
We start with a thorough inspection of your chimney from top to bottom. This means checking the crown, flashing, mortar joints, bricks, and interior components. We’re looking for current problems and potential issues that could cause trouble later.
You get a clear explanation of what needs fixing and why. No technical jargon or scare tactics. Just straightforward information about what’s wrong and what it takes to fix it properly.
The actual repair work focuses on lasting solutions. We remove damaged mortar completely before repointing with quality materials that match your existing chimney. Any damaged bricks get replaced with properly sized and colored matches.
We clean up completely when we’re done. Your property looks the same as when we arrived, except your chimney actually works properly and won’t cause problems down the road.

Fireplace repair is included when chimney issues affect your firebox or damper operation. We understand how the entire system works together, so we address problems that impact both safety and performance.
East Boston’s weather is tough on masonry. Salt air, freeze-thaw cycles, and age take their toll on mortar and bricks. We use materials and techniques that hold up to local conditions instead of generic solutions that fail quickly.
Water damage repair is often part of chimney work here. We fix the source of leaks and address any interior damage caused by water infiltration. That means your repair actually solves the problem instead of just covering it up.
