Professional chimney repair that fixes the problem right the first time, protecting your home and family.
When your chimney works right, you stop worrying about water dripping into your living room every time it rains. You use your fireplace without wondering if something’s wrong with the ventilation. Your heating bills don’t spike because cold air isn’t pouring down through cracks in the flue.
Most importantly, you sleep better knowing your family isn’t breathing carbon monoxide or dealing with a fire hazard. A properly repaired chimney crown stops water from getting into your walls where it causes thousands in damage you can’t see until it’s too late.
You also keep your home value intact. Buyers notice chimney problems during inspections, and they either walk away or demand major price reductions. Fix it now, and you avoid that headache entirely.
Academy Masonry has been handling chimney repair throughout Jamaica Plain and the greater Boston area for years. We know these older homes and the specific problems they develop.
Most of our work comes from referrals because we show up when we say we will, give you a straight answer about what needs fixing, and stand behind our work with real warranties. We’re licensed, insured, and we’ve seen every type of chimney problem these New England winters can create.
You’re not getting a sales pitch from us. You’re getting an honest assessment and quality repair work that lasts.
First, we inspect the entire chimney structure from top to bottom. We check the crown, flue liner, mortar joints, and flashing to identify every problem, not just the obvious ones. You get a detailed explanation of what we found and why it needs attention.
Next, we give you a written estimate that breaks down exactly what work needs to happen. No surprises, no hidden costs, no pressure to decide on the spot. Take time to think it over.
When you’re ready to move forward, we handle the repair work efficiently and clean up completely when we’re done. We use quality materials that can handle Massachusetts weather, and we warranty our work so you have peace of mind long after we leave.

Chimney repair isn’t just slapping some mortar on visible cracks. We handle chimney crown repair to stop water infiltration, repoint deteriorated mortar joints that compromise structural integrity, and repair or replace damaged flue liners that create safety hazards.
We also fix chimney flashing that’s allowing water into your roof structure, rebuild damaged chimney tops, and address efflorescence that signals ongoing moisture problems. Each repair is done with materials designed to last in New England’s freeze-thaw cycles.
Jamaica Plain’s older homes often need multiple repairs at once. We prioritize the most critical issues first and give you options for handling less urgent problems over time if budget is a concern.
