Older Randolph homes—especially those built before 1950—often hide unseen damage behind their brick facades. Our masonry inspections go beyond a standard sweep: we use borescopes to peer into your flue’s clay tiles, check for spalling bricks on the exterior, and test mortar joints for erosion that could collapse under a winter’s freeze-thaw cycle. In Randolph, where many homes sit on clay soil that shifts with the seasons, we also inspect the chimney’s foundation for cracks that could destabilize the entire stack. We document every finding with photos and provide a prioritized repair list, whether it’s repointing crumbling mortar, replacing a cracked flue tile, or sealing gaps around the crown to keep rain out of your chimney’s core. No patchwork—just structural solutions that last.

We install two types of liners tailored to your home’s needs: rigid stainless steel for durability (ideal for stoves) or lightweight, seamless cast-in-place liners that conform to irregular flues in historic homes. Unlike generic sweep services, we size liners precisely to your chimney’s dimensions—no oversized tubes that waste heat or undersized ones that restrict draft. We also ensure your liner meets Massachusetts’ strict building codes, including proper clearance to combustibles and a damper that seals tightly to prevent downdrafts. Ask us about our liner options during your free estimate—we’ll show you how a $1,200 liner today can save you $10,000 in future chimney fires or carbon monoxide leaks.

We use HEPA vacuums and rotary brushes to strip away all three stages of creosote: from flaky Stage 1 to the glass-like Stage 3 that can ignite even when your fireplace isn’t in use. Unlike competitors who rush through the job, we spend extra time on hard-to-reach bends in older flues and around smoke chambers, where creosote cakes thickest. We also check for hidden hazards like soot deposits in your attic or a blocked chimney cap that’s trapping moisture. After cleaning, we provide a before-and-after photo report so you can see the difference—and rest easy knowing your chimney’s safe for another season.
Request this service →Randolph’s freeze-thaw cycles are brutal on chimneys: ice expands in cracks, forcing bricks apart and letting water seep into your flue’s clay liner, where it freezes and cracks tiles from the inside out. We install custom copper or stainless steel caps with mesh screens to block debris, birds, and rain—while allowing smoke to escape freely. For extra protection, we apply a vapor-permeable waterproofing treatment that repels water without trapping moisture inside your masonry. This isn’t a paint job; it’s a science-backed barrier that extends your chimney’s life by decades. We also inspect your existing cap for rust or damage after winter storms, a free service for our annual maintenance clients.
Request this service →Randolph’s Rumford fireplaces and fieldstone hearths deserve more than a cursory sweep—they need restoration. We repoint mortar joints with a lime-based mix that matches historic brickwork, seal cracked chimney crowns to prevent water intrusion, and upgrade dampers to airtight models that improve draft and reduce heat loss. For wood-burning fireplaces, we also clean and inspect the smoke chamber for parging cracks that could allow heat to penetrate your home’s framing. Our restoration work comes with a 20-year warranty on materials and labor, because we stand behind the longevity of our craftsmanship in Randolph’s oldest neighborhoods.
Request this service →Carbon monoxide isn’t just a chimney fire risk—it’s a silent killer that can seep into your home through cracked flue tiles or a failing liner. We use digital CO detectors to test your chimney’s draft and check for leaks at the appliance connection, flue collar, and chimney crown. In Randolph, where many homes have converted fireplaces to gas inserts, we pay special attention to the transition area where the old masonry meets the new appliance. We also test your home’s CO alarms to ensure they’re positioned correctly and functioning. This isn’t an upsell—it’s a non-negotiable safety step we include with every inspection.
