Chimney Services We Bring to Your Door

A "chimney sweep near me" call can mean almost anything — a routine sweep, a leak, a draft problem, a failed inspection. We are equipped for all of it, and one crew handles the whole chimney.

Chimney Sweep

A Boston fireplace that smells sharp and smoky even when it is cold is usually telling you the flue is overdue for a sweep. Our crew seals the work area, runs a HEPA vacuum the entire time, and brushes the flue top-down and bottom-up until the masonry is back to bare. A Boston home that heats partly with a wood stove sends far more particulate up the flue, which changes how often the chimney really needs sweeping. Our walk-through covers exactly what we found and what we did, with no vague warnings designed to book another job. Call 508-356-5123 to book a Boston chimney sweep before the burning season starts.

Chimney Inspection

Whether you are buying a Boston home, selling one, or just lighting the fireplace again, an inspection turns guesswork about the chimney into facts. The team works through the standard inspection levels, scopes the flue with a video camera when warranted, and delivers a clear report within a couple of days. Older area chimneys with original clay tile liners are exactly the ones where a camera scan finds hairline cracks the eye misses. We hand you the camera footage and the written summary, so the condition of your flue is never just our opinion. Call 508-356-5123 to schedule a Boston chimney inspection with a written report.

Chimney Repair

Spalling brick on a Boston chimney, those flaking and crumbling faces, is water damage in progress, and it only accelerates once it starts. We treat the cause, not the symptom: find where the water enters, fix that component, and apply a vapor-permeable waterproofing so the brick can still breathe. In area, chimneys on century-old houses often need careful repointing rather than a heavy-handed rebuild that would not match the original work. If a simple crown seal solves the leak, we will not try to sell you a rebuild, because the fix matches the problem. Phone 508-356-5123 and we will weatherproof your stack before the next freeze.

Chimney Cap Installation

The cap is the cheapest insurance a Boston chimney owns: it keeps rain off the smoke shelf, animals out of the flue, and embers off the shingles. Chimney Specialists measures the flue, fits a stainless or copper cap sized to your exact opening, single-flue or multi-flue, and anchors it to last through MA weather. In area, downdraft complaints spike in winter when wind hits an uncapped flue, and the right cap design steadies the draft. We show you the finished installation with photos, so you can see the cap is seated and secure. Call 508-356-5123 to stop rain and wildlife from getting into your flue.

Chimney Crown Repair

The crown on a Boston chimney is easy to ignore until water staining shows up inside, by which point the slab has usually been cracked for a while. We coat a repairable crown with a flexible sealant that moves with the masonry, or rebuild a failed one so it lasts decades, not seasons. Across area, older masonry crowns made of ordinary mortar rather than proper concrete simply do not last, and we rebuild them right. If a flexible coating will solve it, we will not sell you a rebuild, because the repair matches the actual condition. Ring 508-356-5123 to fix the crown before freeze-thaw takes the whole stack.

Chimney Liner Installation

The liner is the inner wall of a Boston flue that contains heat and routes smoke safely, and when the old clay tiles crack the whole chimney becomes a fire risk. Our crew sizes a stainless liner to your flue and appliance, insulates it per code, and installs it so the chimney vents safely and draws properly. A Boston chimney that has had a chimney fire often shows cracked tiles on the camera scan, and that flue must be relined before it is used again. We size the liner to your appliance correctly the first time, because an oversized or undersized liner causes its own problems. Call 508-356-5123 to have your Boston flue scanned and relined if it genuinely needs it.
