Chimney Repair & Rebuilds in Jamaica Plain, Boston, MA
Looking for chimney repair & rebuilds in Jamaica Plain in Boston, MA? Ultimate Boston Masonry is a licensed, insured, family-owned masonry contractor serving Boston and the rest of Suffolk County from our Boston base. From Back Bay brownstones to triple-deckers in Dorchester, Boston masonry is old, soft-brick work that needs the right mortar and a careful hand.
Housing in Jamaica Plain in Boston includes tight lots with shared driveways and close neighbors, and road salt and plow damage every winter is what wears this masonry down. That is why our chimney repair & rebuilds work starts with understanding what your building is made of — brick type, stone, mortar hardness, and drainage — before we price anything. New England chimneys take the worst of the weather. We repair crowns, rebuild spalled brickwork above the roofline, reset crooked caps, and seal the flashing so water stops finding its way inside.
Response time in Boston: Same-day estimates, most weeks · Typical range $650 – $6,500

Do I need a permit for chimney repair & rebuilds in Boston?

Are you licensed and insured to work in Boston?
Yes. Ultimate Boston Masonry is licensed, fully insured, and family-owned with 5 years of experience on Greater Boston brick and stone.
How do I know if my chimney needs a rebuild instead of a repair?
If mortar joints are soft more than an inch deep, bricks are flaking or shifting, or the stack leans, a rebuild above the roofline is usually the lasting fix. Anything shallower is normally a repoint and crown repair.
Will you match my existing brick?
Yes. We source brick by size, color, and texture, and tint mortar to match aged joints so the repair blends with the original stack.
