Cracked crowns, spalling brick, failed flashing, damaged flue tiles - we trace every chimney problem to its root cause and repair it properly, so you fix it once instead of chasing symptoms every spring.

Chimney Leak Repair

Water finds every weakness in a chimney. We trace leaks to their true source — crown, flashing, masonry, or cap — and repair the cause, not just the stain.

Chimney Flashing Repair

The joint where your chimney meets the roof fails before almost anything else on the house. We rebuild step and counter-flashing the right way — cut into the mortar, not smeared over it.

Chimney Crown Repair

Cracked or crumbling chimney crown? We seal, resurface, and rebuild cast-concrete crowns engineered to survive New England freeze-thaw and protect every brick below.

Chimney Liner Installation & Relining

UL-listed stainless steel liner installation and full chimney relining, correctly sized to your appliance and insulated for New England winters.

Chimney Masonry Repair & Repointing

Repointing, tuckpointing, and brick replacement done the old-school way: mortar analyzed and matched to your chimney, joints ground to sound depth, and work that disappears into the original masonry.

Chimney Rebuilds & Restoration

When repointing can no longer save a chimney, we take it down to sound masonry and build it back correctly - partial roofline-up rebuilds, full reconstructions, and historic restorations with matched brick.

Specialized removal of heavy stage-2 and glazed stage-3 creosote using rotary equipment and chemical treatment — the buildup an ordinary brush sweeping cannot touch.

Learn more →

Animal & Nest Removal

Humane removal of birds, squirrels, raccoons, bats, and nesting debris from your chimney, followed by a full flue cleanout and exclusion work so wildlife never moves back in.

Learn more →

Draft & Smoke Problem Repair

We diagnose why your fireplace smokes, backdrafts, or refuses to draw — flue sizing, smoke chamber geometry, house pressure, wind effects — and fix the actual cause, not the symptom.
