Expert chimney repair that protects your home and keeps your family safe year-round.
Your chimney stops leaking water into your living room during storms. No more stains on the ceiling or musty smells that won’t go away.
The fireplace works the way it should. Clean burns, proper draft, no smoke backing up into your house when you’re trying to enjoy a fire.
You stop worrying about carbon monoxide or structural problems. When the masonry work is done right, your chimney does its job safely for decades. That’s what matters when you’re protecting your biggest investment and the people who live in it.
Academy Masonry has been handling chimney and masonry repair throughout Hyde Park for years. We understand how New England weather beats up these older homes and what it takes to fix them properly.
Most of the chimneys we work on were built decades ago. The materials, the construction methods, the way they settle over time – we’ve seen it all. When you call us, you’re getting contractors who know the difference between a quick patch job and repair work that actually lasts.
We’re local, licensed, and we show up when we say we will. No runaround, no surprises on the bill.
First, we inspect the entire chimney structure from top to bottom. Crown, flue, mortar joints, flashing – everything that could be causing problems. You get a clear explanation of what’s wrong and what needs fixing.
Then we give you a written estimate that breaks down the work and materials. No hidden costs or surprise charges later. If you approve the work, we schedule it around your timeline.
The actual repair depends on what your chimney needs. Could be repointing mortar joints, rebuilding the crown, replacing damaged bricks, or fixing the flashing. We use quality materials that match your existing masonry and handle New England weather. When we’re done, you get a chimney that works properly and stops causing problems.

Every chimney repair starts with a thorough inspection because surface problems usually point to bigger issues. We check the structural integrity, identify water entry points, and assess the condition of all components.
Our masonry repair covers everything from minor mortar joint repointing to complete chimney rebuilds. We handle crown repair, brick replacement, flashing installation, and waterproofing. The goal is fixing the root cause, not just patching symptoms.
You also get honest advice about what needs immediate attention versus what can wait. Hyde Park homeowners deal with enough unexpected expenses – we’re not going to create more by overselling services you don’t need right now. When we recommend work, it’s because your chimney actually needs it.
