A Chimney That Actually Works When You Need It

You’re not just getting bricks stacked up. You’re getting a chimney system that vents properly, handles our brutal winters, and keeps your family safe from carbon monoxide and fire hazards.

Your heating bills stay reasonable because the chimney draws efficiently. Your home insurance stays valid because the work meets Massachusetts building codes. And you sleep better knowing a CSIA-certified professional handled every detail from foundation to cap.

25 Years Building Chimneys That Last

We’ve been building chimneys in Bristol County since before most contractors knew what a CSIA certification was. Over 25 years of dealing with everything from historic restorations to brand-new construction.

Here’s what that experience means for you: we know exactly how coastal moisture affects mortar joints in North Rehoboth. We understand which materials handle freeze-thaw cycles without cracking. And we’ve seen what happens when corners get cut on chimney construction.

Todd Ramsay and our team don’t just build chimneys. We build them right. Every project gets the same attention we’d give our own homes because your family’s safety isn’t something we take lightly.

Chimney Construction Process Massachusetts

From Permits to Final Inspection

First, we handle all the permit paperwork. Massachusetts requires permits for new chimney construction, and we know exactly what the building department needs to see. No delays, no surprises.

Next comes the foundation work. We dig to proper depth, pour concrete that can handle our soil conditions, and install the base that everything else depends on. The masonry goes up with materials designed for New England weather – brick that won’t spall, mortar that won’t crack when temperatures swing 60 degrees in a day.

The flue liner installation is where experience really matters. We size it correctly for your heating system, install it to code, and make sure it connects properly at both ends. Crown, cap, and flashing get installed last, with materials that actually keep water out instead of just looking good for a few years.

Do I need a permit to build a new chimney in Massachusetts?

Yes, Massachusetts requires building permits for all new chimney construction. This isn’t optional – it’s state law, and the fines for unpermitted work can be substantial.We handle the entire permit process for you. That includes submitting the application, providing the required drawings and specifications, and coordinating with the building inspector for required inspections. The permit ensures your chimney meets current building codes and fire safety standards.Don’t try to skip this step. Unpermitted chimney work can create problems when you sell your home, file insurance claims, or need future repairs. We make sure everything is done legally and properly from day one.
A typical residential chimney takes 3-5 days to complete, depending on height and complexity. Weather can extend this timeline – we don’t pour concrete or lay masonry in freezing temperatures or heavy rain.The permit approval process usually takes 1-2 weeks before we can start construction. We schedule the work when conditions are right and materials are ready. Rushing chimney construction creates problems that last for decades.We’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront and keep you informed if anything changes. Most homeowners are surprised how quickly the work goes once we start, especially compared to the months they spent researching contractors and getting quotes.
We use materials specifically chosen for Massachusetts coastal conditions. That means brick rated for freeze-thaw resistance, mortar with additives for flexibility, and stainless steel flue liners that won’t corrode from moisture.For the crown, we use concrete mixes designed to handle temperature swings without cracking. Chimney caps are copper or stainless steel – materials that actually last in our climate. Flashing is lead-coated copper or EPDM rubber, depending on your roof type.These aren’t the cheapest materials available, but they’re the right ones for North Rehoboth. We’ve seen too many chimneys fail because contractors used inappropriate materials to save a few dollars. Your chimney needs to last decades, not just look good for the first few years.

Too small and you get dangerous backdrafting. We calculate the correct size based on your equipment and installation requirements.We also handle the connection work between your existing system and the new chimney. This includes any necessary modifications to meet current codes, proper clearances from combustible materials, and coordination with your heating contractor if needed.
