For years, Academy Masonry has been handling chimney repairs in West Somerville and the surrounding areas. As local chimney contractors, we know all too well how brutal New England winters affect masonry structures, especially the older brick chimneys that are common in this area.
Our team delivers repair work that can easily withstand countless freeze-thaw cycles. We’re licensed, insured, and familiar with the specific challenges that West Somerville homeowners face with their chimney systems.
When you hire us, you can rest assured that you’ll receive quality results form a team that actually cares. We’re part of the West Somerville community, not just contractors passing through. We’ve worked on chimneys all over the area and understand the building techniques used in local homes—whether they’re 20 years old or over a century. That local knowledge means smarter, more reliable repairs tailored to the way your home was built.
We start with a thorough inspection of your entire chimney system, from the foundation to the crown. We provide you with a detailed assessment that highlights what needs to be repaired and why, as well as a written estimate that breaks down all work.
Once we begin, we address structural issues first, such as cracked mortar joints, loose bricks, or damaged chimney crowns. We use materials specifically designed for New England weather conditions, not generic products that fail after one winter.
The repair process typically takes 1-3 days depending on the scope of work. We clean up completely when we’re finished and walk you through the work we’ve done. All work is warrantied and we’ll provide you with easy-to-follow recommendations for maintaining your chimney going forward.
