Expert chimney repair that fixes the problem right the first time, so you can use your fireplace without worry.
You flip the switch or light the fire, and it works. No smoke backing up into your living room. No weird smells. No wondering if something’s wrong.
That’s what happens when your chimney actually functions the way it was built to. The draft pulls properly. The structure stays solid through every storm. Water stays outside where it belongs.
Most chimney problems aren’t mysterious. They’re usually straightforward masonry issues that got ignored too long. Loose mortar joints let water in. Damaged crowns create bigger problems. Missing flashing turns small leaks into major headaches. We fix these problems so your fireplace becomes something you can count on, not worry about.
Academy Masonry focuses on the structural side of chimney problems. While others clean and sweep, we rebuild, repoint, and restore the masonry that keeps everything working safely.
We’ve been handling chimney repairs throughout Revere Beach and the surrounding area long enough to know what holds up against coastal weather and what doesn’t. Salt air is tough on masonry, and older homes here need contractors who understand both the original construction and modern repair techniques.
When we look at your chimney, we’re seeing the masonry work first. That’s usually where the real problems start, and it’s definitely where lasting solutions come from.
First, we inspect the entire chimney system from top to bottom. Not just a quick look, but a real assessment of the masonry, flashing, crown, and interior structure. We’re looking for the actual cause of your problem, not just the obvious symptoms.
Then we explain what we found in plain terms. If you need repointing, we show you where the mortar is failing. If there’s structural damage, we explain how it happened and what it takes to fix it properly. No technical jargon or scare tactics.
The repair work itself depends on what your chimney needs, but it always starts with addressing the root cause. We rebuild damaged sections, repoint deteriorated mortar joints, replace compromised flashing, and restore the structural integrity that keeps everything working safely. When we’re done, you have a chimney that functions the way it should.
