Academy Masonry has been handling chimney and masonry repairs throughout Massachusetts for years. We’ve seen every type of chimney problem you can imagine – from minor pointing work to major structural repairs.
We’re not general contractors trying to figure out masonry work. This is what we do, day in and day out. We understand how Massachusetts weather affects different types of brick and mortar, and we know which repairs will last and which ones are just temporary fixes.
When we assess your chimney, you get an honest evaluation. If you need major work, we’ll tell you. If it’s something minor, we won’t try to sell you more than you need.
First, we inspect your entire chimney system – inside and out, top to bottom. We’re looking for the obvious problems you called about, but also checking for issues that might not be visible from the ground. Many chimney problems start small and spread, so we catch everything while it’s still manageable.
Next, we explain what we found in plain English. No technical jargon or scare tactics. You’ll understand exactly what needs to be fixed, why it needs to be fixed, and what happens if you wait. We provide a clear estimate with no surprises.
Then we get to work. We use quality materials that match your existing chimney and are built to handle New England weather. Most repairs are completed in one to two days, depending on the scope. We clean up completely when we’re done – your property looks exactly like it did before we arrived, except your chimney actually works properly.

When we repair your chimney, you’re not just getting a patch job. You’re getting a thorough evaluation of your entire chimney system. We check the crown, flashing, mortar joints, damper, and liner. If there are multiple issues, we prioritize them so you know what needs immediate attention and what can wait.
Our chimney repointing work uses mortar that’s properly matched to your existing chimney. This isn’t just about appearance – the wrong mortar can actually damage older brick. We’ve worked on chimneys throughout Kates Corner and understand the materials and techniques that work best in this area.
Every fireplace repair we complete includes a safety check. Your family’s safety is non-negotiable, so we make sure your chimney draws properly, the damper functions correctly, and there are no obstructions or damage that could cause problems down the road.
