Massachusetts building codes require permits for all new chimney construction, and this includes both the structural work and any related electrical or gas connections.We handle the entire permit process for you, including submitting plans, coordinating inspections, and ensuring full compliance with Bristol County requirements.

We use mortar specifically designed for New England weather, with additives that resist cracking from temperature changes.Your chimney also needs proper crown construction using concrete mixes that won’t crack during winter freeze-thaw cycles.
