Stop worrying about cracks, leaks, and structural damage. Professional chimney repair that protects your home and investment.
When your chimney works the way it should, you stop thinking about it. No more water stains on interior walls. No more cold drafts or smoke backing up into your living room. No more wondering if that crack is going to turn into a major structural problem.
You get back to enjoying your fireplace instead of worrying about it. Your home stays protected from water damage, and you’re not dealing with expensive emergency repairs during the worst possible timing.
The peace of mind alone is worth it. But you also get a chimney that actually adds value to your home instead of being a liability that scares off potential buyers.
Academy Masonry has been handling chimney repairs throughout Medford and the surrounding areas for years. We understand how New England weather beats up masonry work, and we know the difference between a quick patch job and a repair that actually lasts.
Most of the homes we work on were built decades ago, back when chimney construction was different. We know those older techniques and materials, which matters when you’re trying to match existing work or upgrade it properly.
You’re not getting a sales pitch from us. You’re getting an honest assessment of what needs to be done and what can wait.
We start with a thorough inspection of your entire chimney system, not just the obvious problem areas. This means checking the crown, flashing, mortar joints, and interior condition. You get a clear explanation of what we find and what it means for your home.
If repairs are needed, we walk you through exactly what we’ll do and why. No surprise charges or “while we’re here” upselling. We focus on the work that actually needs to happen.
The repair process depends on what your chimney needs, but we handle everything from repointing mortar joints to rebuilding damaged sections. We use materials that match your existing chimney and techniques that will hold up to our climate. You’ll know the timeline upfront, and we clean up completely when we’re done.

Real chimney repair addresses the root cause, not just the symptoms. That might mean repointing deteriorated mortar joints, rebuilding a damaged crown, or replacing flashing that’s allowing water penetration. We handle the masonry work that keeps your chimney structurally sound.
In Medford, we see a lot of freeze-thaw damage where water gets into small cracks and expands during winter. This creates bigger problems every year until someone fixes it properly. We use proven techniques and quality materials that stand up to this cycle.
Every repair includes a complete assessment of related systems. If your flashing needs attention or your chimney cap should be replaced, we’ll tell you. But we’re not going to push work you don’t need just because we’re already there.
