Your chimney works the way it should. No more water dripping into your fireplace when it rains. No more wondering if those cracks are getting worse. No more worrying about whether it’s safe to light a fire.
You get a chimney that does its job—quietly, safely, efficiently. The kind of repair work that lasts, so you’re not dealing with the same problems again next year. Your home stays protected, your family stays safe, and you can actually use your fireplace without second-guessing every crackle.
That’s what happens when the repair is done right the first time.
We’ve been fixing chimneys in Medford and throughout Suffolk County for over a decade. We’re the local crew that homeowners call when they need it done right.
We’ve seen every type of chimney problem Long Island weather can dish out. From the freeze-thaw cycles that crack crowns to the coastal moisture that eats away at mortar joints. We know what works here and what doesn’t.
Licensed, insured, and backed by hundreds of satisfied customers who trust us enough to let us work on their homes even when they’re not there. That’s the kind of reputation you build one solid repair at a time.
We start with a thorough inspection—not just a quick look, but a real assessment of what’s going on with your chimney. We check the crown, the flashing, the mortar joints, the liner. Everything that matters.
Then we explain what we found in plain English. No technical jargon, no scare tactics. Just the facts about what needs fixing and what can wait.
The repair work itself is straightforward. We use quality materials that can handle Long Island weather. Our masons know their trade, and they take pride in work that lasts. We clean up when we’re done, and we document everything so you know exactly what was accomplished.

Cracked crowns, damaged flashing, loose bricks, water leaks, liner issues—we handle it all. From quick mortar repairs to complete chimney rebuilds, our team has the experience to tackle whatever’s wrong with your chimney.
In Medford’s climate, chimneys take a beating. The salt air from the coast, the freeze-thaw cycles, the summer storms—it all adds up. We see the same patterns of damage year after year, which means we know exactly how to fix them properly.
Whether it’s tuckpointing that’s failing, a crown that’s cracking, or flashing that’s letting water in, we use techniques and materials proven to work in Suffolk County conditions. No shortcuts, no quick fixes that’ll fail in two years.
Chimney repair costs in Medford typically range from $250 for minor fixes to several thousand for major structural work. Simple repairs like sealing small cracks or replacing a chimney cap might cost $250-$750. More extensive work like crown rebuilding or significant masonry repair can range from $1,000-$4,000.
The final cost depends on what’s actually wrong with your chimney, how accessible it is, and what materials are needed. Long Island tends to run higher than national averages due to local labor costs and building code requirements. We provide free estimates so you know exactly what you’re looking at before any work begins.
Water damage is the biggest issue we see in Medford chimneys. Between the coastal moisture and our freeze-thaw cycles, water finds its way into cracks and does serious damage over time. Damaged crowns, failed flashing, and deteriorating mortar joints are extremely common.
We also see a lot of issues with chimney caps that have been damaged by storms or simply worn out by the elements. Creosote buildup is another frequent problem, especially in chimneys that aren’t cleaned regularly. The good news is that most of these problems are preventable with regular maintenance and catchable before they become expensive repairs.
Annual inspections are the standard recommendation, and it makes sense here in Suffolk County where weather conditions can be harsh. An annual inspection catches small problems before they turn into big, expensive ones.
If you use your fireplace regularly—more than a few times per month during heating season—you might want to consider more frequent inspections. The same goes if your chimney has had problems in the past or if it’s older. A basic inspection costs much less than emergency repairs, and it gives you peace of mind that everything’s working safely.
Yes, we can handle emergency chimney repairs year-round, including winter. However, some types of repairs work better in certain weather conditions. Mortar work, for example, needs temperatures above freezing to cure properly.
For emergency situations—like a damaged crown that’s letting water in or flashing that’s completely failed—we can often do temporary repairs to protect your home until conditions are better for permanent fixes. Winter repairs sometimes cost more due to weather challenges and increased demand, but we’ll always be upfront about pricing before we start any work.
Repointing is the process of removing old, damaged mortar and replacing it with new mortar. It’s a structural repair that restores the integrity of your chimney’s masonry. Tuckpointing is more about appearance—it involves using two different colored mortars to create clean, sharp lines that make the mortar joints look perfect.
In most chimney repairs, repointing is what’s actually needed. The old mortar has deteriorated and needs to be replaced to prevent water infiltration and structural problems. Tuckpointing might be done for aesthetic reasons, but repointing is about making sure your chimney stays solid and weatherproof. We’ll recommend whichever approach makes sense for your specific situation.
Yes, we stand behind our work with warranties that vary depending on the type of repair and materials used. Structural repairs typically carry longer warranties than cosmetic work, and we use materials that come with their own manufacturer warranties.
The specific warranty terms depend on what’s being done—a complete crown rebuild carries a different warranty than minor mortar repairs. We’ll explain exactly what’s covered before we start any work. Our goal is repairs that last, and we’re confident enough in our work to guarantee it. After over a decade in business, our reputation depends on doing work that holds up over time.
