Chimney in Beverly, MA

A chimney contractor that knows Beverly

Beverly is Colonial country — and the masonry that frames a property here has to respect that. We build chimneys for homes throughout Montserrat and Beverly Farms, with material choices and detailing that fit the local architecture. Beverly Farms features outstanding seaside-stone estate work.

Choosing a chimney contractor in Beverly means choosing someone who'll show up. We do. MA HIC registered and insured — and the same crew you meet at the estimate is the crew that builds the project.

Common chimney problems in Beverly

  • Mortar joints are crumbling and bricks are loose
  • Chimney crown is cracked, allowing water into the structure
  • Flashing leaks at the roofline causing water damage inside the house
  • Brick is spalling (face popping off) from freeze-thaw damage — particularly common in Beverly given coastal salt air.
  • Chimney is leaning or shows visible structural failure

Materials we use

  • Matched salvaged or new brick to suit existing chimney era
  • Cast-in-place concrete crown or custom precast
  • Lead step and counter flashing (no rubber substitutes)
  • Type N or Type S mortar (matched to existing)
  • Stainless-steel chimney cap

What we inspect

  • Mortar joint depth and pointing technique (raked, struck, or weather-struck per period)
  • Crown thickness (minimum 2" with drip edge overhang)
  • Flashing layered properly (counter over step)
  • Flue liner condition (we coordinate Level 2 inspections)
  • Cap installed to prevent moisture and animals

  1. 1Discovery visit in Beverly — we measure, photograph, and listen to what you want this chimney to do for the property.

  5. 5Written workmanship warranty handed over before we pull off the property — and we answer the phone after the job is done.

Chimney questions, answered

How do I know if my chimney needs repointing vs full rebuild?
If the brick itself is sound and only mortar joints are eroded, repointing is the right call. If brick is spalling, leaning, or significantly displaced, a partial or full rebuild is needed. We assess in person — no guessing.
Do you pull the permits?
Yes. We pull all required building permits, coordinate with the local building inspector, and provide certificates of completion.
How long does the chimney work last?
A proper rebuild with quality brick and mortar lasts 60–100+ years. Repointing extends life by 25+ years before the next service.
