Safe, reliable chimney repair that protects your family and preserves your home’s value.
When your chimney works properly, you’ll have peace of mind every time you light a fire. No more worrying about smoke backing up into your living room or wondering if that crack in the crown is letting water seep into your walls.
You’ll have a fireplace that draws properly, heating your home efficiently without wasting energy because of a damaged flue. Your family stays safe from carbon monoxide exposure and fire hazards that come with deteriorating masonry.
Most importantly, you stop small problems before they become expensive structural issues. A few loose bricks or crumbling mortar joints might seem minor now, but they lead to water damage, foundation problems, and repairs that cost thousands more than fixing things right the first time.
Academy Masonry has been serving West Newton and the surrounding communities for years, specializing in the brick and stone work that defines this area’s character. We understand the unique challenges of maintaining chimneys in homes built between 1900 and 1960, and have successfully repaired countless structures from this time period.
Our team knows the difference between original lime mortar and modern cement, why your Tudor’s chimney needs a different approach from your neighbor’s colonial, and how New England weather affects all types of masonry materials. We’re not just general contractors who dabble in chimneys; we’re masonry repair specialists who are committed to serving our local community.
When you call us, you can have confidence knowing that you’ll be working with chimney contractors who’ve seen every type of chimney problem historic homes in West Newton experience.
We start with a thorough inspection from roof to firebox, checking the crown, flue liner, damper, and all masonry components. You’ll get a clear explanation of what’s wrong, what needs immediate attention, and what can wait.
Once we agree on the scope, we protect your property with tarps and set up our equipment. Most chimney repairs involve repointing deteriorated mortar joints, replacing damaged bricks, or rebuilding sections of the crown and cap. We use materials that match your home’s original construction, as well as local building requirements.
Throughout the job, we’ll keep you informed about progress and any setbacks that might affect the timeline. When we’re finished, we clean up completely and walk you through what we’ve done. You’ll know exactly what was repaired and how to maintain it going forward.

At Academy Masonry, our chimney repair service covers everything from minor chimney repoint jobs to major structural rebuilds. We handle crown repairs, cap replacement, flue liner installation, damper repair, and eben complete chimney reconstruction.
Every job includes a detailed inspection, written price estimate, and a warranty on that covers workmanship. We use premium-quality materials designed for New England’s freeze-thaw cycles and match existing mortar color and texture as closely as possible. For West Newton’s historic homes, we often work with lime-based mortars that allow the masonry to breathe and move naturally.
We also coordinate with other tradesmen when chimney problems affect roofing, siding, or interior finishes. Our goal is to solve your chimney issues completely, not just patch them temporarily. You get lasting repairs that protect your investment and keep your family safe.
