- Clean • Safe • Reliable • Done Right
Premium chimney care for Lexington’s historic and modern homes alike – from the Battle Green neighborhood to East Lexington and beyond. Certified, insured, and built around respect for your home.
Lexington has one of the most architecturally interesting housing stocks in Greater Boston. The streets radiating out from Battle Green and Lexington Center contain genuinely historic homes – colonials, federals, and Victorians dating back to the 18th and 19th centuries – alongside upscale mid-century construction and modern custom builds along the Hanscom and Lincoln borders.
Working on these chimneys takes a different mindset than newer construction. Original lime mortar can’t be repaired with modern Portland-cement mixes without causing brick faces to fail. Historic clay liners require careful camera inspection before any work begins. Period-correct caps and crowns matter when curb appeal is part of the home’s value – and in Lexington, it almost always is.
The full chimney and fireplace service lineup – available across Burlington and the surrounding towns.
Most chimney companies in the area treat every job the same way – same mortar mix, same liner spec, same approach regardless of whether the home is 30 years old or 230. That’s not how we work in Lexington.
Our masons are trained in historic masonry techniques. We source matching brick when needed, use appropriate mortar mixes for each home’s era, and document our work in a way that protects the long-term value of these properties. Lexington homeowners often have higher standards – and we welcome that.

Quick answers about chimney service in Lexington. Still curious? Just give us a call.
Yes – historic masonry is one of our specialties. We use period-correct mortars, source matching brick when needed, and document everything for both insurance and historical commission purposes when relevant.
It can – modern Portland-cement mortars are harder than the soft, lime-based mortars used in older masonry. The mismatch stresses the brick faces and causes them to spall. We always assess the existing mortar and match the replacement to the original mix.
Yes, we serve all of Lexington – from the historic district around Battle Green and the Center, through East Lexington, out to the newer construction near Hanscom and the western boundary toward Lincoln.
We provide Level 2 inspections with video scoping of the flue – exactly what real estate transactions require. Full written report with photos, plus we’re happy to talk directly with the buyer’s inspector if questions come up.
No. Our pricing is consistent across all the towns we serve – based on the scope of work, not the zip code. Historic work sometimes takes longer because of the care it requires, but the hourly rates are the same.
