Professional masonry repairs that protect your home and restore your fireplace’s safety and function.
When your chimney works properly, you get peace of mind every time you light a fire. No more worrying about strange smells, poor draft, or whether that crack is letting water into your walls.
You’ll have a safe, functional fireplace that adds value to your home instead of causing headaches. The white staining disappears, the leaks stop, and you can actually enjoy cozy winter nights without wondering if something’s wrong.
Most importantly, you’ll know your family is safe from carbon monoxide issues and fire hazards that come with damaged chimneys. That’s what proper chimney repair delivers – safety, function, and the confidence that comes with both.
We specialize in the masonry challenges that Porter Square homeowners face every day. We understand how New England weather beats up chimneys, especially in older homes where the original mortar is finally giving way.
We’re not the guys who show up, patch a few cracks, and disappear. We’re the contractors who look at your whole chimney system, figure out what’s actually causing the problems, and fix it right the first time.
Most of our work comes from neighbors who’ve seen what we do and want the same quality for their homes. That’s how it works when you focus on doing the job right instead of doing it fast.
First, we inspect your entire chimney system – not just the obvious problem areas. We’re looking for the root cause of what’s going wrong, whether that’s failing mortar joints, damaged flashing, or structural issues you can’t see from the ground.
Then we explain exactly what we found and what needs to happen to fix it permanently. No surprises, no upselling – just a clear picture of what your chimney needs and what it’ll cost.
The actual repair work depends on what’s wrong, but it typically involves removing damaged mortar and brick, repointing joints with proper mortar mix, and addressing any flashing or crown issues. We work systematically from top to bottom, making sure everything is structurally sound and properly sealed against water infiltration.
You’ll know we’re done when your chimney looks solid, functions properly, and gives you confidence instead of worry every time you use your fireplace.

Our chimney repair service covers everything from minor repointing to major reconstruction. We handle cracked or crumbling mortar joints, damaged brick replacement, chimney crown repairs, and flashing issues that let water into your home.
Porter Square’s older homes often need specialized attention because the original construction methods and materials are different from what you’ll find in newer houses. We know how to work with lime mortars, match historic brick, and maintain the architectural character of your home while bringing everything up to modern safety standards.
We also address the water infiltration problems that cause most chimney damage in the first place. That means proper flashing installation, crown sealing, and making sure your chimney can handle New England’s freeze-thaw cycles without developing new cracks every winter.
Every repair comes with our commitment to use the right materials and techniques for your specific situation, not whatever happens to be easiest or cheapest.
