Chimney Repair & Rebuilds in Great Neck, Ipswich, MA
Looking for chimney repair & rebuilds in Great Neck in Ipswich, MA? Ultimate Boston Masonry is a licensed, insured, family-owned masonry contractor serving Ipswich and the rest of Essex County from our Boston base. Ipswich has a remarkable stock of First Period homes with fieldstone foundations that need gentle, breathable repairs.
Housing in Great Neck in Ipswich includes older brick multi-families and colonials built before 1940, 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 Ipswich: Estimates within 72 hours · Typical range $650 – $6,500

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

Are you licensed and insured to work in Ipswich?
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.
