Chimney Repair & Rebuilds in Melrose Highlands, Melrose, MA
Looking for chimney repair & rebuilds in Melrose Highlands in Melrose, MA? Ultimate Boston Masonry is a licensed, insured, family-owned masonry contractor serving Melrose and the rest of Middlesex County from our Boston base. Melrose Victorians have tall chimneys and granite steps, both frequent repair candidates.
Housing in Melrose Highlands in Melrose includes older brick multi-families and colonials built before 1940, and wind-driven rain from nor'easters 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 Melrose: Estimates within 48 hours · Typical range $650 – $6,500

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

Are you licensed and insured to work in Melrose?
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.
