Professional chimney repair that protects your home and keeps your family safe year-round.
When your chimney works the way it should, you stop worrying about water damage creeping through your walls. You use your fireplace without smoke backing up into your living room. You sleep better knowing carbon monoxide isn’t seeping into your home through cracks you can’t see.
That’s what happens when chimney repair is done right. No more water stains on your ceiling during heavy rains. No more white chalky buildup on your exterior bricks that makes your home look neglected.
Your fireplace draws properly, your heating bills stay reasonable, and you protect one of your biggest investments. Most importantly, you eliminate the safety risks that come with a deteriorating chimney system.
Academy Masonry has been handling chimney and masonry repairs throughout Massachusetts for years. We understand how harsh winters and freeze-thaw cycles destroy mortar joints and crack chimney crowns.
Most chimney problems we see in Hastings could have been prevented with earlier intervention. That’s why we focus on thorough inspections and honest assessments of what actually needs repair.
We’re licensed, insured, and we show up when we say we will. No disappearing acts, no surprise charges, no cutting corners with materials that won’t last through another New England winter.
First, we inspect your entire chimney system from top to bottom. We check the crown, flashing, mortar joints, damper, and flue liner. We look for water damage, structural issues, and anything that could become a bigger problem.
Then we explain exactly what we found and what needs to be fixed now versus what you can monitor. No scare tactics, no overselling. Just straight information so you can make the right decision for your situation.
When we do the work, we use materials designed for Massachusetts weather. We clean up completely when we’re done. And we make sure everything is working properly before we consider the job finished.
