New Brick Chimney Build Complete in Chatham MA

This one was a full chimney build for a home in Chatham, MA - and it came out exactly the way it should. Solid, clean, and built to last against everything coastal New England can throw at it.

Here's what we were working with: a classic Cape Cod-style home with cedar shingle siding that needed a chimney that fit the character of the house. That meant getting the brick selection right, keeping the coursework tight and consistent, and making sure the finished stack looked like it belonged there - not like it was tacked on. The mortar joints are uniform throughout, and the cap sits clean and square at the top.

Brick chimneys on Cape Cod take a beating. Salt air, wind, freeze-thaw cycles through winter - it all adds up. That's why how you build it matters just as much as what you build it with. We take the structural side seriously, because a chimney that looks good but wasn't laid right won't stay that way for long.

From the wide-angle view of the home, you can see how well the finished chimney ties into the overall look of the property. It doesn't compete with the house - it completes it. That's the goal on every job like this.

We do this kind of work all over Cape Cod. Whether it's a full new chimney build, a rebuild from the roofline up, or ongoing chimney maintenance, we bring the same attention to detail every time. Chatham is a good example of what happens when the planning and the execution both go right.
